RICHARD GODDARD '20 TRAVELS WITH MACMILLAN

Richard Goddard '20, who accompanied Donald MacMillan, the famous arctic explorer on his last trip to polar regions, is again a member of a MacMillan expedition and sailed with the explorer during the latter part of June on another trip into the frozen—as they call it—north. Goddard will make a close study of terrestrial magnetism according to newspaper accounts of the expedition's plans.

In a letter to Professor John M. Poor, of the Department of Astronomy, of the College, Goddard stated that the expedition will winter, if possible, in Jones Sound, on the north shore in one of the fiords that ruffle up the southern coast of Ellesmere Land, and if prevented by ice from getting to Jones Sound will stop at Flagler Bay, just north of and behind Cape Sabine.

"Last trip," wrote Goddard, "I carried along a couple of D. O. C. trail signs that Charlie Throop mailed me. One of these I left on my night Aziment cairn at Bowdoin Harbor. I believe it is the northernmost D. O. C. trail marker. The trip this time promises to give an opportunity to blaze the D. O. C. trail a few degrees further north."

In response to Goddard's request D. O. C. trail signs were sent to him and he will place them in the cold regions where any Dartmouth man may feel at home.
