DARTMOUTH LETTER AWARDS FEWER THAN OTHER COLLEGES

As the result of a comparison of the letter awards of Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, and Harvard recently, it was found that Dartmouth has given the fewest varsity letters and minor sports insignia to its athletes. Princeton heads the list with a total of 129 athletic insignia, exclusive of class numerals, given out during the year. Dartmouth with 63 awards has distributed less than half of Princeton's total. The Orange and Black insignia wearers comprise approximately 12.3 percent of the student body in the three upper classes. Yale has 105 letter men, or 6.2 percent of those above the freshman class, and Harvard has 85, or 5.5 percent.
