October 1919

Under the auspices of the Christian Association, the annual freshman reception and Activity Night were held a few days after the opening of college. The reception in the Trophy Room of the Alumni Gymnasium served its established purpose of bringing the members of the entering class together and introducing them to each other by means of lapel tags, bearing die wearer's name and home address. President Hopkins headed the list of speakers and the glee club quartet supplied music.

Activity Night took place in A Dartmouth September 29. Leaders of the various athletic and non-athletic activities presented the different phases of extra-curriculum work, laying special emphasis upon the competitions open to first-year men.

The Christian Association conducted its annual membership canvass the evenings of October 14-15. A committee of 50 undergraduates made the rounds of the college dormitories and fraternity houses, in an attempt to enlist for membership all men not enrolled in previous years. It is estimated that an enrollment of at least 90 per cent of the total undergraduate body was secured.
