WEBSTER'S FRATERNITY PIN PRESENTED BY C. K. FIELD

The fraternity pin worn by Daniel Webster was presented to Dartmouth Oct. 31 at a faculty reception held at the new Zeta Psi house. Before more than 100 people gathered in the drawing room of the house, Mr. Charles K. Field, of San Francisco, presented the pin to Professor Herbert Darling Foster, who was appointed by President Hopkins to accept the pin in behalf of the college.

In presenting the pin Mr. Field said that it had long been his wish that Webster's pin should be in the archives of the College and that the dedication of the new house was the event which brought about an action long planned. Webster's fraternity, known as the United Fraternity, was one antedating all those on the campus today; it was a social group organized to promote scholarship and letters. In presenting the pin Mr. Field made an interesting speech describing the history of the pin and the nature of the society whose emblem it was.

Professor Foster, in accepting the pin, briefly sketched Webster's college career. When he came as a freshman, he was unkempt and awkward, but he had great potentialities. His hidden abilities came to the surface, and by his senior year, he was debating with vehemence and perception. He worked almost twelve hours every day for fifty years. The lesson to be drawn from Webster," he stated, is embodied in the fact that he put his best into whatever he had to do. What potentialities would Dartmouth have if it would devote itself to appropriating his ideals!"
