From all standards, however, the Twenty-fifth Annual Dartmouth Carnival was the most successful in history. Visitors to the "Jottenheimer Eiskorneval" on Outdoor Evening witnessed an elaborate Norwegian ice pageant and saw Helen Chandler, world's professional ice-skating champion perform. The selection of pretty, blond Pauline Webster, a reporter on the Detroit Free Press, as Carnival Queen marked the second successive year that the ice crown has been worn by a non co-ed. The widely publicized "Duchess of Dartmouth" contest was staged again this year by The Dartmouth, and brought to Robinson Hall more than 300 letters from girls all over the Eastern part of the United States written on the subject "What I expect from a Dartmouth Carnival." The winning letter was written by dark, lovely Inez Garson, a young "intellectual" from Hunter College, New York.
Students' control of their own conduct was undoubtedly put to a strain at thisi their first Carnival to supervise, but the general opinion, both administrative and undergraduate, is that a competent job was done. There were violations, but they were no more numerous than usual. This supervision of undergraduate conduct through the students themselves will be continued, with the expectation that with time and adjustment it will become even more satisfactory.
