When the members of the New England Federation of Harvard Clubs went to their summer outing at Burlington, Vt., last summer, they were entertained at Hanover, N. H., by Dartmouth College and at Burlington, Vt., by the University of Vermont. President Hopkins of Dartmouth addressed the Harvard men during their brief stay in Hanover, and President Bailey of Vermont spoke at the dinner in Burlington.
Desiring to show their appreciation of the hospitality received at the hands of Dartmouth and Vermont, the officers of the New England Federation of Harvard Clubs have had the following books bound in full crushed levant and tendered them to the libraries of the two colleges in northern New England:
"Public Opinion in War and Peace," by President Lowell; "American Contributions to Civilization," by President Eliot; "Theodore Roosevelt," by William Roscoe Thayer, '81; "Getting a Laugh and Other Essays," by Professor Charles H. Grandgent, 'B3; and "Barrett Wendell and His Letters," by M. A. De Wolfe Howe, 'B7.
The following inscription is printed in each of the books:
"These volumes are intended as a slight but tangible souvenir of intercollegiate fellowship, to record the appreciation of every Harvard man who experienced the unlimited hospitality of Dartmouth College during the visit of the New England Federation of Harvard Clubs to Hanover, New Hampshire, August, 1925."
The words "University of Vermont" and "Burlington, Vermont," are substituted in the books presented to that institution.—From the Harvard Alumni Bulletin.
