WET-DOWN

By vote of the three upper classes, Percy A. Grey '19, permanent president of the senior class and captain of the varsity baseball team, was awarded the Barrett medal, presented annually at Wet Down to the member of the graduating class who has shown himself to be the best all-around man in the eyes of the College.

The exercises were held this year on the evening of June 7, starting according to custom with the initiation of the new Palaeopitus at the Old Pine. The five exofficio members installed were Warren S. Gault, manager of baseball, Eugene S. Leonard, president of the Christian Association, Stanley J. Newcomer, manager of track, Richard C. Southwick, manager of football, and Alexander S. Warden, editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth. The five other members elected by the class who will complete the roster of the 1920 governing body are Earl H. Bruce, Carl E. Newton, Reuel G. Phillips, Norman B. Richardson, and Arthur W. Stockdale. No football captain has yet been elected.

Following the initiation of Palaeopitus, the traditional keg rush between freshman and sophomore classes was held on the campus, but after half an hour's vain battle, the result was announced as a draw. The presentation of the Barrett medal and the handing over - of the Senior Fence to the 1920 class brought the exercises to a close.
