The Alpha of New Hampshire of Phi Beta Kappa held its annual banquet and initiation Thursday evening, March 1 at the Hanover Inn. At this time the second delegation of the class of 1917 was initiated. The form of initiation used was that drawn up by the parent chapter of Phi Beta Kappa at William and Mary in 1779, adopted later by Harvard and Dartmouth, and recently found in the archives of the Dartmouth chapter.
After the dinner there were several toasts on the subject, "Preparation for Public Service," with E. B. Woods of the department of sociology acting as toastmaster.
The initiates were S. B. Emerson 2nd, R. G. Paine, F. W. Leighton, H. D. Stillman, T. S. Lonnquest, E. E. Smith, and G. S. Tracy.
