THE COLLEGE RECEIVES 75 MM GUN

The French Government has honored the College by the gift of one of her famous 75 mm guns. The piece was formally presented to the College by M. Casenave, Minister Plenipotentiary and French High Commissioner to the United States on October 20 in an address to the student body which was assembled on the terrace in front of the Alumni Gymnasium where the gun is to rest. M. Casenave expressed the wish that the gift be accepted by the College as a token of his government's grateful recognition of the part played by Dartmouth men in the World War and the hope that it might serve as a memorial to those men and a reminder of the bond which their sacrifice had established between the two nations. President Hopkins accepted the gift in the name of the College.
