HONOR NIGHT

The first annual meeting of Dartmouth College for the award of scholarship honors was held in Webster Hall, Saturday night, October 30. The attendance and enthusiasm of the meeting indicated that the innovation had met with immediate success.

The exercises were conducted by President Nichols, and after music by the College choir and orchestra he made an introductory statement, saying that above all things scholarship should be recognized. It is for scholarship that the college exists, and without scholarship the college must cease to exist. For these reasons he congratulated those men who had distinguished themselves by excellence in scholarship.

The speaker of the evening was the Honorable J. A. DeBoer, D.Sc., of the class of 1884, president of the New Hampshire Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa and president of the National Life-insurance Company of Montpelier, Vt. "Public life," said Mr. DeBoer, "demands that a man have convictions, and in addition, he must have courage to stand by those convictions." Continuing, he said that this courage ought to come certainly in college life, and for the help he needs in this respect, the training a man obtains in college athletics, for instance, is valuable. The effect of scholarship in life is very great, and the recreation of many business men, provided they have been good scholars in college, is in returning to their books. Thorough scholarship above all things should have the attention of college men.

President Nichols read the names of the honor men, and announced the prizes, after which Mr. DeBoer called a meeting of the chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, and initiated the men who had been elected from the senior class. He presented keys and badges to the men, the keys being a personal present from him to them. The exercises were closed by singing the Dartmouth Song.
