A Prize Dartmouth Song

In a letter to The Dartmouth, Weld A. Rollins '97 makes public his offer of $75 for the best new College song, words and music, written by an undergraduate or undergraduates in collaboration. The generous offer has been enthusiastically received and Mr. Rollins will soon announce a committee of judges for the submitted manuscripts and will state in detail the conditions of the contest. For some years past the lyrical outbursts of the student body have been largely confined to football songs. It may be hoped that the offer of a valuable prize will bring out something of a more permanent character.
