NEW SPORT BOOK FEATURES DARTMOUTH WINTER SPORTS

"To any person who considers snow and ice in the light of a liability, a Hanover winter would represent utter bankruptcy," writes Elon Jessup, former associate editor of Outing, in his book, "Snow and Ice Sports,' which has just been acquired by the library. Dartmouth residents in no way consider winter a liability," he continues. "To them winter is a distinct asset."

Mr. Jessup treats in detail winter life in Hanover and the history of the Dartmouth Outing Club in his chapter, "Winter Weekends at Dartmouth." He pictures realistically a week end ski trip of four Dartmouth students to an Outing Club camp, giving vivid interesting bits of their conversation.

Regarding such a trip, Mr. Jessup says, "After accompanying- Dartmouth students on one of these jaunts, one is primed for about anything—either that or a hospital! The job of keeping up with the Dartmouth procession as it steadily winds it way to the top of the world is one that calls for sturdy preliminary training."

In the conclusion of his book, he states. "The Dartmouth Outing Club, if it were the only organization of its kind in existence in this country, would be of no special significance. The reason why I have given the history of the club in detail is because it is very significant of the changed attitude toward winter which is abroad throughout the snow and ice zone."
