The Reverend J. E. Johnson '66, whose many and large benefactions to the Outing Club in the past two or three years have been chronicled in the pages of the MAGAZINE has recently added still further to his donations. He has provided funds for the erection of a new ski jump and a toboggan slide, both of which are now under process of construction. They are being built near the golf links on the property of the Pine Park Association, by courtesy of that body. The slide will be open to the townspeople of Hanover as well as to students of the College.
Mr. Johnson's latest gift is a novel and most thoughtful one. By it he provides funds for three Thanksgiving dinners to be held in Moose, Cube, and Moosilauke cabins. These dinners will be given free of charge to fifty-two members of the Outing Club, the numbers being limited only by the accommodations of the cabins. Such a Thanksgiving celebration is perhaps the most notable illustration of the extent to which Dartmouth has become in recent years preeminently the college of the great outdoors. Not the least of the thanks offered on that day will be that to Mr. Johnson, without whose generous aid the Outing Club would still be a struggling infant instead of a vigorous youth.
