WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE INN

A large number of Dartmouth alumni and their friends returned to Hanover for a Washington's birthday party at the Inn. At this time the Inn was taxed to its full capacity. A program of outdoor events was scheduled for the visitors including walks, sleigh rides, skiing and tobogganing. Tuck Drive was closed to teams that the road might be used for coasting. A very successful dance for the Inn guests and faculty was held on the evening of February 22, in the trophy room of the Gymnasium. Friday afternoon, February 23, at the ski-jump there was an open ski-jumping contest and exhibition. Saturday morning the boys of the town entered a ski-joring contest around the campus. In the afternoon on the golf links outdoor events were held in which children of the town under sixteen years of age were the contestants.

This first attempt at an alumni party in the winter and at a time when the College is in session proved a decided success.
