FROM THE UNDERGRADUATE CHAIR
March, 1924

The most crowded, trying period of the year passed with the sounding of taps for first semester final examinations, rushing season and Winter Carnival—and Hanover has settled down to its annual lethargic period from mid-February to spring recess.

The story the month has unravelled is a full one, if nothing else. Finals were as usual (what worse could be said?), rushing stirred up the regular dust cloud and the sun was shining in its accustomed place as soon as the battle was over and Winter Carnival was a Sahara fantasy. Withal, the Dartmouth undergraduate is happy today and welcomes the boring silence of the bleak mid-winter.

The Administration can shed official light on the scholastic casualty list. The campus sentiment found the examinations harping on non-essential facts in courses allowing socalled range of thought. Gossip was certain that the announced policy of stricter marking went into effect for the semester just passed, with the result that "this and that man flunked out cold," "all the Phi Betes fell down," "only two A's were given in this course," and "I got royally rooked in such and such."

Before the clouds were cleared from the scholastic horizon the rushing storm broke. The Dartmouth had warned against mudslinging in chinning, the stock phrases began to work, dopesters cuddled close together, freshmen walked on air, questions popped back and forth—and out of it all 324 men were taken by fraternities following the regular season. This is a larger percentage of a class than ever before was pledged to fraternities.

Following the season the question of advisability of mid-winter rushing again was hashed over. The minority wanted sophomore rushing, the majority pre-Christmas rushing. All agreed that the present system was impossible.

The only result has been the drawing up of a new plan by a committee of the Interfraternity Council. It seems likely that this plan will be accepted.

Four important changes will be made in the Interfraternity Council rules governing freshman rushing for the class of 1928, if the plan proposed is accepted by the fraternities individually. The council has gone on record as favoring the proposed changes, and the revised rules will be submitted to the fraternities for their sanction or rejection in March.

The nights of November 22, 23 and 24 are named in the plan as the three chinning nights for 1924. This is a marked deviation from the present rule, which establishes days immediately following the February exams as the chinning period. No change has been recommended regarding the hours of chinning, the two hour period of silence, or the issuing of bids at midnight.

Organized calling, governed by certain regulations, is sanctioned in the proposed rules. Each fraternity may call on freshmen between the hours of 6.30 and 8.30 on a specified night each week beginning the first Monday after the opening of college in the fall.

Open house is to be kept by each fraternity on four Sunday evenings between 7 and 10 o'clock. Invitations for open house nights, specifying certain hours, must be extended through the Interfraternity Council, and acceptions or rejections must be filed with the council. No fraternity may invite a freshman more than once, provided the freshman has attended one reception at that house.

Only freshmen with 12 hours credit may be initiated into a fraternity. No freshman can be initiated until after the first semester. The complete rules were proposed by a committee of R. H. Strong '24, C. A. Knudson '24, and G. S. Anderson '24.

From the campus viewpoint, Winter Carnival consisted of a delicious potion of athletics, dancing, skating, dancing, outdoor events, parties, skiing and dancing. The most potent contribution to the success of the Carnival was the series of varied dances, ranging from tea dances to the Carnival Ball and closed fraternity dances to breakfast dances. Indeed, it was told that one fair guest, when asked if she cared to see the, ski jump, became all enthused and wanted to try it, thinking it a new dance.

The most perfect natural aspect of Winter Carnival was the weather. For a long while it was feared that there would not be enough snow for the outdoor program, as the weather through New England was persistently mild as late as February 1. Then came a sustained snowfall, with the result that pessimists saw no stop of the flake-falling for Carnival. But a day before Carnival the storm ceased, the improvised campus rink was cleared and flooded, the jumps were padded down, the Memorial Field toboggan slide was perfected and all was - set for Carnival. Then the weather remained ideal through the party.

Even the nights were perfect, a crescent moon, having for a satellite a lone star, shed its light sufficiently for snowshoe and ski parties. However, the main program attracted most attention.

Thursday found the Musical Clubs hosts at a tea dance in Alumni Gymnasium. In the evening visiting steel-shod experts gave clever exhibitions of fancy, trick and speed skating. Private parties occupied the night.

The non-athletic events Friday found a costumed audience applauding "Blue Blood," The Players musical production, before going to the ball. In Spanish Skyland, the , decorating scheme used for the ball, 600 couples danced until dawn.

Saturday was taken up by athletics, Dartmouth winning in skiing, hockey and basketball. At night various fraternities gave closed dances alone and in combination and, following the parties, midnight suppers were served.

With the departure of special trains for Boston and New York Sunday, Dartmouth relapsed resignedly into' the restful non-worrying attitude which characterizes the Hanover "night."

The "long, long night" already has been disturbed, however. Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn pleasantly stirred the undergraduate body to contemplation of our "hopeless democracy and education," speaking at the initiation of the following 31 seniors to Phi Beta Kappa: L. A. Goldstone, of New York City, J. M. Reid, of Denver, Col., E. Winsor, of Providence, R. 1., A. D. Adams, of Groton, Mass., L. A. Fishbein, of New York City, F. H. Granata, of Rome, Italy, A. E. Hadlock, Jr., of New York City, G. B. Kenney, of Salem, N. Y., L. C. Linnekin, of Manchester, Mass., C. W. Morse, of Lowell, Mass., R. H. Richardson, of Ayer, Mass., A. L. Robinson, of Lexington, Mass., F. P. Rolfe, of Penacook, N. H., L. S. Ruder, of Hamilton, Ohio, A. N. Thurston, of Rockport, Mass., J. S. Wheaton, of Verona, N. J., I. Atherton, of Nashua, N. H., C. E. Blake, of Reading, Vt.; J. E. Daniell of Menominee, Mich., E. T. Dickinson, of West Swanzey, N. H., R. S. Wilkinson, of Orangeburg, S. C, W. A. Gardner, of Montclair, N. J., F. L. Harrington, of Worcester, Mass., C. A. Knudson, Jr., of Mamaroneck, N. .V.. S. H. Patterson of New York City, W. C. Poole, of Worcester, Mass., R. Robinson, of Boston, Mass., L. K. Sycamore, of Holyoke, Mass., G. H. Trafton, of Leominster, Mass., H. H. Wheaton, of Verona, N. J., and E. J. Willi, of New York City.

Dr. Meiklejohn proved an engaging and brilliant speaker. Perhaps he did not profoundly impress the undergraduate body. But he did interest it and he did give additional stimulus to the mental activity which has characterized the college this year. Especially did he prod the Phi Beta Kappa initiates to whom his talk on "Education for Democracy" was addressed.

The seniors are now eating at the College Grill, opened especially for them. Weekly smoke-talks are to be given by Administration representatives.

Chun Lin '24, one of Dartmouth's few Chinese students, lost a brave fight for light after S3 days of suffering when death took him in Mary Hitchcock Hospital, February 12.

Prof. R. P. Holden plans to conduct debates in his Sociology 2 course the second semester.

Dartmouth debating will renew life with the meeting of Wesleyan and the University of Pennsylvania in the near future.

The book of the month: "The Plastic Age," by Percy Marks. This condemnation of the college life today, by a former Dartmouth instructor, set the campus tongues wagging for exactly one week.
