COLLEGE GRANT

One of the highlights of the fall season was the four-day Thanksgiving trip to the College Grant, by members of the new Fish and Game Department. The Grant covers 27,000 acres of rugged mountain forest in the northern part of New Hampshire, four miles from the Canadian border to the north, and bordered by Maine on the east. The Grant contains three mountain peaks over 3,000 feet (which is high land in New England), and two rivers. This first D. O. C. trip of the season to the Grant was arranged by Tommy Dent, member of the Outing Club Board of Trustees, and varsity soccer coach, who has long been recognized throughout New Hampshire as one of the leading fish and game authorities in the state. The student leader of the trip was Rip Streater '38, director of the Fish and Game Department. The party stayed at the local warden's cabin at Hell's Gate, on the northern boundary. Despite the unfavorable wet weather, deer and partridge were bagged, and exploration revealed an abundance of bear, bobcat, and fox tracks. Judging from the enthusiasm of the members of the party, the Dartmouth College Grant will probably be more closely related to undergraduate activities from now on.
