DEDICATION OF THE WEBSTER BIRTHPLACE

On the twenty-eighth of August, the farm on which Daniel Webster was born and spent his boyhood was fittingly dedicated. The farm., located in Franklin, formerly the town of Salisbury, has been restored to the exact appearance which it bore in the year of Webster's birth. It was appropriate that Dartmouth should hold a prominent place in the exercises. Samuel W. McCall '74, was the principal speaker, while President Nichols spoke for the College, and Governor Felker '82, for the State. It is also interesting to note that eight officers of the Webster Birthplace Association hold degrees from Dartmouth.
