DARTMOUTH PLAQUE RECEIVED BY EVANSTON HIGH SCHOOL
July 1918

The Dartmouth Plaque for Scholarship, won this year by three men from the Evanston Township High School, Evanston, Illinois, and which for the first time has gone outside of New England, was presented on the evening of May 23.

The Plaque is annually presented to that school sending three or more students to the freshman class by certificate, whose representatives stand highest in scholarship for the first semester of the freshman year. The students this year who have won1 the plaque for the Evanston High School are Edward Price, Nelson Barker, and Vance Clark.

Presentation was made by Dr. Ozora S. Davis of the Class of '89, President of the Chicago Theological Seminary, who addressed a packed Auditorium on "Education and Life." This talk was a practical, logical and uplifting discussion, plainly spoken, bringing home the fundamental facts of what education does for boys and girls in preparing them for their work in life. His address was enthusiastically applauded, and at the close in presenting the plaque to Principal W. F. Beardsley, he gave a sketch of Dartmouth College, its history, its life, and the wonderful opportunities presented for boys in going there.

About twenty-five Dartmouth men living in Evanston were present at the meeting, among them Messrs. Redington, Marsh, Rumery and Gibson.
