DARTMOUTH NIGHT EXERCISES TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 2
November 1923

The 28th annual Dartmouth Night celebration will be held the evening of November 2 in the Alumni Gymnasium, according to a recent announcement by the College Administration. With all available rooms within 20 miles of Hanover engaged for November 3, the day of the Dartmouth-Cornell game which dedicates the new Memorial Field stands, the Dartmouth Night celebration the night before promises to be; the largest and most enthusiastic gathering of undergraduates and alumni ever assembled in Hanover.

The Dartmouth Night celebration will open with the traditional parade around the campus led by the College Band. The parade will march to the residence of President Ernest Martin Hopkins, where the customary songs and cheers will be given. The procession will then remain intact and march to the gymnasium.

Varying the custom of the last few years, the evening's program will be given in the Alumni Gymnasium instead of the tent which has usually been erected on the campus for the occasion. The predictions of a large number of guests in Hanover and the uncertainty of weather conditions necessitates the change. The announcement of the speakers on the program will not be made until Dartmouth Night.

Other events on the program for the weekend will include the freshman contest with the Brown 1927 eleven on Memorial Field the afternoon of November 2, and a concert by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in Webster Hall the following night.

From inquiries made of the engagements of rooms in the vicinity of Hanover for the weekend of the Cornell game and Dartmouth Night, it is predicted that approximately 1500 alumni will return to Hanover. It is almost impossible now to secure room accommodations within 20 miles of Hanover, with the exception of accommodation for 200 men which the Hanover Inn management will arrange for by placing cots in Thornton Hall and the house on North Main street formerly occupied by the Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity.
