OUTING CLUB NOTICED IN SWEDEN

The following is a translation by Professor J. M. Poor, of the statement in regard to Dartmouth College which appears in Den Amerikanska Högskolan av James Creese Jr. Stockholm, 1919.

Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hamp- shire, on the picturesque Connecticut River, lies one-hundred and fifty miles from Boston and two hundred and fifty miles from the city of New York. About it stretch pine cov- ered hills and in the north appear the tops of the White Mountains. Life in the pure air is particularly attractive at Dartmouth and the students like to wander about among the New England Mountains and glide down their slopes on skiis and toboggans. The Outing Club, a student organization which has done much to promote winter sports, main- tains a chain of cabins in the mountains and conducts small excursions to them throughout the entire winter.

The college is one of the oldest in America. It was first founded in Connecticut in 1754 and moved from there to Hanover in 1769. It counts among its distinguished scholars the American statesman and orator, Daniel Web- ster, and one of its splendid assembly halls has been named for him.
