THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN IN HANOVER

Hanover's quota in the Third Liberty Loan was $89,000, and at the time of our going to press, several days before the campaign is to close, her subscription is well over $100,000; it is expected by the local committee that the subscriptions will finally total over $130,000. A carefully planned and executed campaign for the selling of bonds among the undergraduates was carried out on April 22 and 23, as a result of which a total of $19,650 worth were sold among the students alone. Since the present enrollment of the College is now but 850, this means that Dartmouth undergraduates have subscribed an average individual amount of $23.10.

On the afternoon of Friday, April 26, "Liberty Loan Day," a celebration was held in Hanover, which took the form of a parade about the campus and exercises in Webster Hall. Practically the entire town participated in the parade : all the town organizations, the school children, the College officials and faculty, the student body and the towns-people. Led by the College Band and a military escort from the undergraduate military courses, the procession marched twice about the campus and into Webster Hall. Here, with Dr. J. M. Gile acting as chairman, the audience listened to the singing of patriotic songs, and to the delivery of addresses suited to the occasion by the Reverend Daniel J. Gross of Nashua, Perley R. Bugbee of Hanover, Professor E. J. Bartlett and Dean Craven Laycock.
