Dartmouth Hall Dedicated in Formal Ceremony

Dartmouth Hall, focal point of undergraduate life and alumni sentiment for nearly a century and a half, was dedicated to "the pursuit of sound learning which shall redound to the welfare of mankind" in a brief but dignified ceremony in 105 Dartmouth Hall on the afternoon of February 14. President Hopkins, making his first public appearance after a two weeks' attack of laryngitis, led a portion of the undergraduate body and the faculty in observing the reopening of the historic building after last April's fire, and also presided over the great Dartmouth Night celebration in Webster Hall that evening.

President James Rowland Angell of Yale, attending the dedication ceremony as the representative of Dartmouth's mother college, was honored by the College with the Doctorate of Laws. Bishop John T. Dallas of New Hampshire, who offereel the dedication prayer, and Professor Charles N. Haskins, who presented President Angell for the award of the honorary degree, also took part in the afternoon program. Academic robes were worn by all participants, including Professors Francis J. A. Neef and Edmund H. Booth, faculty marshals, who bestowed the purple hood of the Doctorate of Laws upon President Angell.
