29TH DARTMOUTH NIGHT OBSERVED OCTOBER 3
November, 1924

The 29th annual Dartmouth night was observed October 3 on the eve of the McGill game. The exercises were very much of the traditional nature, the parade around the dormitories, the cheers for Prexy, Mrs. and Ann Hopkins on the lawn of the president's house and the concluding ever-inspiring speeches given this year in the Alumni Gymnasium.

Prof. H. D. Foster '85, responded to the President's introduction of him as "a son of Dartmouth, who had spent all of his time teaching at Dartmouth, who was also a grandson of Dartmouth, and whose grandfather was a trustee of the College in the time of the Wheelocks" with an excellent talk on the pioneering spirit which had filled the founders of the College and which has been handed on to all of her sons.

Allan L. Priddy 'IS, a member of the firm of Ginn and Co. in Boston, spoke for the younger alumni. His announcement of a special meeting of his firm, originally founded by a Tufts man, in New York on the day before the Cornell game drew hearty applause.

Fred Lewis Pattee '88, professor of American Literature at Penn State, was the final speaker. His disapproval of the soprano note in college yells and his admonitions to the class of '28 based on the fact that he would be reuning at their graduation were but a few of the bright spots of his talk which was exceptionally well received.
