When this reaches its readers, Carnival will be the big news in Hanover—Carnival, that brilliant phantasmagoria which, during the two-week feverish distractions of exams, has drawn many a restless, wistful thought away from notebooks, review outlines, and heavily underscored textbooks—Carnival will, as the story-books say, reign. Although for the greater part of its participants, Carnival is emphatically an indoor festival; although the girls who shiver around the ski-jump always wear a slightly martyred expression—never theless, Carnival still holds on to its winter sports glamor, which catches the imagination of the news-reel public even though it does not focus all the interests of Carnival guests. Outdoor Evening on Occom Pond is still a glamorous pageant, and Carnival, all in all, on even the more blase female campuses in this part of the world, still represents an achievement.

Here we have another of those social assets to be derived from college: "Every Dartmouth Man a Potential Carnival Bid."
