NOTES

When College had barely opened the fraternities set out to remodel their chinning agreement reached after long discussion last spring. They moved chinning day forward to November 1, set October 10 as the day for the beginning of organized calling, and made some minor changes. Dissatisfaction with the system is general.

Since • Commencement four deaths among undergraduates have occurred to sadden the College:

William D. Smith '13 died at his home in Claremont, N. H., last August, after a four-weeks' illness of typhoid fever.

John H. Phelps, a senior, died the week before College opened. For nine weeks he had been ill at a hospital in Somerville, Mass., his home city, with appendicitis.

A long siege of heart trouble ended in the recent death of Cyrus L. Harris of Brooklyn, another senior. Harris was a member of the 1912 Junior Prom Committee.

Horace M. Hill, a sophomore, from Dayton, Ohio, developed a severe case of diabetes soon after his return to College. He died at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital before his relatives could reach him.

Though in some respect an improvement over its predecessors, the 1912 Aegis, the appearance of which was delayed until Commencement, is far from a perfect book. Fraternity letters have, in a number of cases, been omitted, and other mistakes occur. Several new faculty pictures and more complete faculty records are among the improvements.

At recent meetings the classes have elected officers for the semester as follows :

Senior officers: President, J. R. Erwin; vice-president, H. S. Harmon; secretary, C. B. White; treasurer, H. S. Fuller.

Junior officers: President, H. A. Barends; vice-president, W. M. Gibson; secretary, M. S. Wright; treasurer, J. J. Remsen.

Sophomore officers: President, W. T. Englehorn; vice-president, C. K. Brownell; secretary, F. A. Llewellyn; treasurer, R. H. Trott.

At their first class meeting, the freshmen elected E. A. Curtis, president; R. Winship, vice-president; R. W. Redfield, secretary; and H. S. Jones, treasurer.

Snappy baseball and close scores marked the first two games of the freshman-sophomore series. The freshmen, victors in their first contest were defeated in the second and again in the third, a slower game. With those of their baseball men who are now out for football to add to their squad, 1915 should have a fast nine in the spring.

Captain Nelson '13, of the tennis team, won the college championship in the fall tournament. Captain Nelson and H. S. Harmon 'l2 defeated all opponents in the doubles. The freshman championship cup was awarded to D. W. Grant.

Collin Wells '13 won the fall college golf championship tournament.

Two seniors, Paul E. Martin and Don Carlos, married this summer, and neither has returned to College.

Six new tennis courts at the west end of the gymnasium are now in use. To cover the cost of upkeep ten cents per hour is charged for play.

Actively interested in their sport, members of the Dartmouth Aero Club are making frequent use of their gliders. The club has purchased a cup to be awarded to that member who makes the longest flight this fall. A team may be entered in the Harvard intercollegiate meet next June.

Dormitory committees similar to those of last year have been appointed. They consist of one man from each of the three upper classes, their chief function being to see that dormitory hazing is kept within bounds.

The championship fall shoot at the traps of the Dartmouth Gun Club was won by H. A. Stiles '14, with a string of eighty-two birds.

Manager Brennock has arranged the following Harvard game schedule for the glee and mandolin clubs:

Nov. 15—Concord.

Nov. 16—Manchester, Joliet Hall, at 8 p. m.

Nov. 17—Boston, Harvard-Dartmouth Joint Concert, Jordan Hall, at 8 p. m.
