SOME INTERESTING GIFTS

The College has recently received from Mrs. Goodenow, Mrs. Lund, and Mrs. Eldred, the three daughters of "Lil" Carter, three pictures and two canes that are of more than passing interest. "Lil" Carter will be remembered by most of the older alumni as a familiar figure in Hanover for many years. Both the pictures and the canes were taken from the brick house on College street so long owned and occupied by Mr. Carter.

One of the pictures represents a large group of men from the classes of 1874 and 1875. The two other pictures are those of seven men each from the classes of 1870 and 1871. The canes are carved with the names of fifty-two student occupants of rooms in the Carter house, including those of men from the classes of 1847 to 1905. The full list of names follows:
