COLLEGE TO BE REPRESENTED IN INAUGURAL PARADE

Dartmouth College, with the other colleges and universities of the United States, has received an invitation to send the largest possible delegation of undergraduates and alumni to represent the College in the inaugural parade to be held in Washington, March 4. The minimum membership of a delegation is placed at twenty men, who shall be uniformed in a manner which will fittingly display the colors of the college represented.

The Committee on Administration has voted to excuse the cuts of twenty-five men from noon on March 1 through March 5, that they may attend the inauguration. These men are to be chosen by Palaeopitus in consultation with Deans Emerson and Laycock from a list of applicants. Those who do not receive the cut privilege, should more than twenty-five men attend, will, with the others, constitute the official delegation.

A college division in the inaugural parade is being instituted for the first time in the history of the United States, with a view of inspiring patriotism in the young men of the nation by means of the object lesson which the inaugural ceremonies will present. It is also thought proper that the college men should do honor, on such an occasion, to the former president of an American college at his inauguration as the President of the United States.
