WORLD GENIUS AT HANOVER
December 1935 W. J. Minsch Jr. '36

It's a far cry from football to Kreisler, but Hanover forgot football and everything else when the great artist appeared on November is to open the 1955-36 Concert Series. Webster Hall was filled to capacityin fact, beyond capacity, for more than a hundred temporary seats on the stage itself were occupied. Playing at Dartmouth for the first time since 1921, the world's foremost violinist received an ovation such as is only accorded a genius. Another outstanding event of the month was the Armistice Day Chapel Service, attended by 1500 undergraduates and others. Addresses by Dean Emeritus Craven Laycock, Aldis P. Butler '36, of New Haven, Conn., president of Palaeopitus, and Dr. Roy B. Chamberlin, Chapel Director, were heard. The service had a double purpose, commemoration of the World War dead and affirmation of the will that there be no more war.

This ceremony was followed in the afternoon by an anti-war meeting sponsored by the Junto, the American League Against War and Fascism, the National Student League, and the Dartmouth Union.
