PHI BETA KAPPA MEETING

Last year the Alpha of New Hampshire chapter of Phi Beta Kappa instituted the custom of holding an annual dinner in Hanover. The unqualified success of the experiment, both from the point of view of social enjoyment and from that of intellectual stimulus, has warranted the undertaking of a somewhat more elaborate celebration this year.

The Dartmouth chapter at its coming dinner is to observe the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of its founding. Since'the same year that witnessed the solemn inaugural of this society by a select group of earnest undergraduates in the little college in the wilderness saw also the birth of the national constitution, its commemoration one hundred and twenty-five years later serves a double purpose. With this in view, Congressman Samuel W. McCall '74 has been secured to deliver an address on "The Relation of Constitutional Restraint to Individual Freedom". This speech, to which the public is cordially invited to listen, will be given in Webster Hall at seven-thirty on the evening of March 7.

After the conclusion of the public exercises, the society will hold its annual dinner at the Hanover Inn. Informal speeches by several prominent members of the Dartmouth and other chapters are to be delivered at this time. Invitations have been extended to the Harvard and Yale chapters, by which the New Hampshire Alpha charter was granted in 1787, asking that each send an alumnus and undergraduate representative to this dinner.

Alpha of New Hampshire of Phi Beta Kappa, through these columns, most cordially invites all members of her chapter, who may be able to do so, to lend aid by their presence at this meeting in making it notable in the history of the society.
