SMOKERS

Dartmouth has had an unusually good series of smokers during the past month. A. S. Roberts, Dartmouth '00, gave an illustrated lecture on "The Land of the Magyar". Nevers' Band gave an exceptionally good concert, of the "popu- lar" order rather than the severely classical. A very interesting and helpful smoker was that in which President Nichols addressed the students in a frank and open discussion of the problems of the College and the plans for its future. Such talks as this always tend to bring the student body into closer sympathy with the faculty and the administration. The President emphasized the necessity for growth in efficiency and earnestness to correspond to the growth which the College has recently undergone numerically. On March 16, Judge Benjamin Lindsey of the juvenile court of Denver addressed a crowded house on the subject of his work as the children's judge. The address was given in Webster Hall, in order that all might enjoy the opportunity of hearing the famous judge. He pointed.out that in former time juvenile courts have been in reality schools of crime 'for the young, while now men are beginning to realize that the function of this court is not to create hardened criminals, but useful citizens out of the neglected and consequently delinquent young.
