A most successful innovation in Phi Beta Kappa annals was the banquet of the society held at the Hanover Inn, February 22. To this banquet all members of the fraternity in the vicinity of Hanover were invited. About fifty-five members responded to the invitation. At this time several members of other chapters took occasion to become members of the. Dartmouth chapter. The only prerequisite for this action was the presentation to the secretary of credentials and the signing of the laws. The banquet was made interesting by the presence of two of the ladies of the faculty who are members of the fraternity: Mrs. C. H. Hawes and Mrs. R. W. Husband. All the undergraduate members of the society showed their interest in the fraternity by their attendance. Professor J. K. Lord, president of the Dartmouth chapter, was toastmaster. He called upon the following men for toasts: Professors C. D. Adams, E. J. Bartlett, F. H. Dixon, A. H. Licklider, and Mr. C. E. Snow '12. The consen- sus of opinion seemed to be that this first banquet of the Alpha of New Hampshire was one of the most interesting and entertaining banquets ever held in Hanover. A repetition of the occasion may, therefore, be looked for another year.
