THE UNDERGRADUATE CHAIR

Since our last appearance in these columns, the College and the community have been saddened by the passing of three members of the Dartmouth faculty. Two have been known and cherished by men of the College for many years while the third, although a comparative newcomer, was fast making his way into the hearts of his students. The Undergraduate Chair mourns the demise of William Patten, Edward K. Hall and Russell D. Kilborne.

On the Friday afternoon before the Harvard football game, we stood for several minutes at the roadside near Lebanon and watched cars loaded with undergraduates go whizzing by at rates of speed which, rather mildly, might be called excessive. Nearly all of them were equipped with the regulation sticker which Palaeopitus introduced as an attempt to curb reckless driving. The mere passing of the town boundary, however, seems to release the student mind of all responsibility. Never, we feel, having been received in the spirit in which it was introduced, the 1932-33 Safety Campaign seems to have failed.
