GATE GIVEN FOR THE CEMETERY

One of Hanover's most beautiful spots is the cemetery, its reposeful glades shadowed by noble trees; its dignified monuments marking the resting places of Dartmouth's most distinguished dead. Little or nothing has hitherto been done to beautify or even appropriately treat the approaches to this impressive plot of ground which lies hidden behind public and private buildings. Through the efforts, however, of Mrs. Arthur Fairbanks of Cambridge, funds have been raised for the erection of a simple, but well-designed granite and wrought-iron gateway at the southern entrance to the cemetery. Mrs. Fairbanks is a former resident of Hanover and a grandaughter of President Nathan Lord. It may well be hoped that her public-spirited example may have further following.
