GIFT FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES

The time of the Winter Carnival was a most appropriate occasion for making known another gift from Rev. J. E. Johnson '66., for the promotion of outdoor life at Dartmouth. His latest gift to the Trustees of the College is in the form of a piece of real estate in Tacoma, Washington. The present value of the property is difficult to appraise, but it has been estimated at $30,000, with a prospective future value much higher.

This gift is an addition to the Harrison Memorial, which now comprises, aside from this most recent gift, Skyline Farm at Littleton, N. H., thirty-five acres on Cube Mountain, twelve acres at Agassiz Basin and a small piece of land at Glencliff on Mount Moosilauke.

The income from this new gift is to be used for purposes specified by Mr. Johnson. Provision is first made for the support of the Harrison Memorial Farm (Skyline Farm), and for the upkeep of the cabins belonging to the Outing Club between Hanover and the White Mountains. Two prizes of $25 and $l5 are established to be awarded to those members of the senior class and the Outing Club who shall submit the best essays on Biology, Zoology, Botany, or Forestry. The balance of the income is to be expended by the Trustees of the College to further outdoor life and activities among the students and to preserve class memorial trees upon or bordering college property. During Mr. Johnson's lifetime he will administer the property.
