D.C.A.C. Shows Surplus
October 1936

A surplus of $10,806.75 is shown in the financial report which the Dartmouth College Athletic Council has just released for the fiscal year ended June 30. This striking contrast to last year's report, which showed a deficit of $36,609.31, is due to the highly favorable showing of football with income of $174,013.08 and expenses of $77,380.36 for an operating profit of $96,632.72. Football last year posted a surplus of $36,701.73.

The report shows a total income of $210,456.94 and total expenses of $199,650.19. During 1935-36, income from operations increased by $31,884.84 over the previous year, while expenses decreased by $15,531.22. A major saving is recorded in connection with recreational and intramural athletics, which were taken over by the College last year.

Football and freshman soccer were the only sports to show a profit for the year, the latter spending $3.00 less than its income. In nearly all cases, the major sports showed deficits greater than those of last year. Track continued to be the most expensive sport, followed by baseball, freshman football, swimming, hockey, and basketball. Concessions and the tennis courts showed a combined surplus of $1,134.37.
