OUTING CLUB OPENS NEW CABIN

The activities of that most interesting organization, the Outing Club, were suitably crowned on Decoration Day by the opening of a new cabin on Moose Mountain. Money for the cabin was raised among friends and alumni of the College chiefly through the generous interest of Mr. Franklin P. Shumway of Boston, father of C. E. Shumway '13. Mr. Shumway having assured the financing of the project, members of the Club put in their spring recess building the cabin, the site for which was provided by Doctor and Mrs. John M. Gile.

The exercises of Decoration Day consisted of various formal presentations: Doctor and Mrs. Gile formally presented the site; Mr. Shumway, in behalf of the various donors, formally presented the cabin; while the Club in turn formally presented the whole property to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to be held for the Outing Club. Some fifty members and invited guests made the occasion an attractive social event; to which additional interest was given by the presence of Mr. John E. Johnson '66, who announced his gift of SkyLine Farm, details of which are given elsewhere.
