A mass meeting was held in Webster Hall on Friday evening, January 13, under the auspices of the Christian Association. The purpose of the meetingwas to present to the College the element of service in the Dartmouth Spirit. Able addresses were made by Rev. Benjamin T. Marshall '97, Rev. Dr. G. Glenn Atkins, of Providence, R. I., and Rev. Dr. Ozora S. Davis '89. Mr. Marshall showed that the Dartmouth Spirit was fundamentally, one of service, and Doctor Atkins and Doctor Davis showed how Dartmouth men could carry out this spirit in the great movements for service which are in progress in this country. The speeches were all enthusiastically received. A telegram was read from President Nichols regretting his absence and expressing hearty sympathy with the object of the meeting.

Personal conferences were held with students by all the speakers on the morning following the meeting. Mr. Marshall spoKe eloquently to nearly a hundred men in the living room at College Hall Saturday evening, and spent Sunday in conferences with groups and individual men.
