Governor Keyes of New Hampshire in his Inaugural Address on January 4, referred as follows to Dartmouth: I would like to see a closer connection between the three peaks of our educational range, New Hampshire College, Dartmouth College, and the public school system, of the state. Dartmouth College has played a large and honorable and useful part in New Hampshire's past, and the College is a more potent agency today than ever before for the benefit of state and nation. As a personal friend and admirer of Dartmouth, it will give me pleasure if you find it possible to restore the state's appropriation for the college to its former figure."
