PHI BETA KAPPA BANQUET

The Alpha of New Hampshire of Phi Beta Kappa held its annual banquet and midyear initiation at the Hanover Inn on Monday evening. April 21. About sixty members of the society were in attendance.

Following the dinner Professor E. J. Bartlett '72, president of the chapter, initiated the newly-elected members. Because of the S. A. T. C. activities last fall, no initiation was held at that time; at this meeting therefore, both the members elected last fall and those chosen at the end of the winter term were received into the society. They are as follows: F. R. Adams, L. W. Aldrich, C. L. Clay, A. P. Crosby, R. J. Dearstyne, W. C. Forbes, J. A. Goss, P. A. Grey, P. W. Griffith, W. W. Harper, J. Jewett, J. G. Kerwin, W. H. McCarter, H. E. Nichols, R. Proctor, C. M. Sears Jr., W. T. Smith, and W. Wright, all of the class of 1919.

After the initiation ceremonies Mr. H. H. Hilton '90 of Chicago, formerly a trustee of the College, and at present a member of the government commission in charge of the adjustment of accounts between the United States and the colleges arising out of the operations of the S. A. T. C., delivered the annual address to the society. He chose as his subject "Lessons of the War for the Colleges". This address is of such exceeding general interest to all who are in any way connected with colleges that the MAGAZINE hopes to be able to print it in full in a later issue.
