In the fall Freshman-Sophomore baseball series the Sophomores were successful in defeating the Freshmen two straight games, the first by the score of 1 to 0 and the second 10 to 0.

Sherwin, president of the sophomore class, President Tucker declared that if his requests in regard to the hazing of Freshmen were not heeded some decisive measure would be taken to stop the so-called "initiation" of Freshmen into "Delta Alpha," the dormitory society which gives the dormitory banquet. This was in line with the speech in which the President had already informed the sophomore class that hazing was no longer evident in the first class college, and that it was his request that it be stopped at Dartmouth.

The oil painting of President Tucker, given to the College by the alumni, has been placed above the settle on the north, wall of the living room of the Commons.
