PHI BETA KAPPA ANNIVERSARY

The one hundred and-twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Dartmouth chapter of Phi Beta Kappa was fittingly observed on the evening of March 7. A public meeting was held in Webster Hall, at which Congressman Samuel W. McCall '74 delivered to an appreciative audience an address on "The Relation of Constitutional Restraint to Individual Freedom". This meeting thus doubly commemorated the founding of the local society and the adoption of the National Constitution.

The address was followed by a dinner at the Hanover Inn for the members of Phi Beta Kappa. About seventy members of the Dartmouth and other chapters were in attendance. Professor C. D. Adams '77, President of the Alpha of New Hampshire, acted as toastmaster. The speakers were Dr. Francis Brown 70, of the Board of Trustees, who responded to the toast "The Founders of the College"; Professor J. K. Lord '68, who sooke on "The Founders of Phi Beta Kappa"; Professor H. E. Burton, Harvard '90, who, in the absence of the regular delegate, Dean Thayer of the Harvard Law School, responded for the alumni of the Harvard chapter; Mr. G. H. Gifford, Harvard '13, who brought greetings from the Harvard undergraduates; Professor C. H. Hawes, who responded to "Cambridge University" ; Mrs. Harriet Boyd Hawes of the Smith chapter, who spoke on "The Growth of the Education of Women"; and Professor B. T. Marshall '97, whose subject was "The Future".
