OUTING CLUB AT COLGATE

The Dartmouth Outing Club is not only helping the students in Hanover to make the most of the natural surroundings of the College, but, it would appear, is doing missionary work elsewhere. The first organization of its kind in the country, the Dartmouth club is serving as a model for similar clubs in various other colleges, the situation of which is favorable to outdoor activities. The University of Vermont has already organized an out-of-doors club, and Middlebury College and Norwich University are about to form such societies. Yale is also interested in the movement.

The most direct descendant to date, however, of the Dartmouth Outing Club is the Colgate Outing Club, founded at Colgate University on January 8, with a membership roll of one hundred undergraduates. At the opening meeting an exhibition was given of lantern slides furnished by the Dartmouth club. The founding of this organization was due to the efforts of Professor E. W. Goodhue of Colgate, a graduate of Dartmouth in the class of 1900.
