DARTMOUTH NIGHT CELEBRATION

On the evening of October fifteenth, while the alumni were assembling in large and small gatherings at various places throughout the world to renew the associations ot the Dartmouth fellowship and to pledge again their allegiance to the College, the freshman class of 1924, six hundred strong, attendee its first Dartmouth Night celebration, was welcomed into the democratic brotherhood of Dartmouth men, and given a hint of the moving spirit which inspires and pervades it There was the same cheering, singing procession of torch-bearing men winding its dusty way under the elms in the Hanover twilight as marched there in previous years, but this time the line was longer and the green caps that bobbed at its end were in greater abundance than ever before. Likewise the "Wah-Hoo-Wahs" for Dr. Tucker, "Prexy" Hopkins, General Streeter, and "Jimmy" Newtor '59 were roared in a greater volume than ever lifted the roof of Webster. But Webster was not imperilled for it could not contain the crowd that jammed Hanover that night, and the exercises therefore were held in the tent used a year ago for the Sesqui-Centennial celebration.

After President Hopkins had read the greet ings which were telegraphed and cabled from friends and alumni the world over, including the Earl of Dartmouth, and Brewer and Kohl of '20 who are at Oxford, and after the cheers and the football songs, versatile Sid Hazelton '09, instructor in French, director of swimming, and coach of the freshman football team made the first of the evening's talks. Robert L. O'Brien '91, editor of the BostonHerald, was the next speaker, and after him came Owen A. Hoban '99.

It was a Dartmouth Night only surpassed by the Sesqui-Centennial year in attendance, one that equalled all its predecessors in enthusiasm and high inspiration.
