Besides the political interest manifested by the students, there has also appeared of late an awakened interest in Big League baseball on the campus this spring. Each evening a large group gathers in Allen's drug store for the reports of the day's results. Many of the students have become ardent Red Sox fans, while others stand pat with their home clubs. Number one fan in Hanover is President Hopkins who recently received a season pass from the Red Sox management.
The month of May also produced a second Committee report that received the unanimous approval of the College. Quite often everyone has heard this remark, "If I were on my last leg, I couldn't afford to go to Dick's House." This sentiment, not based entirely on a complete knowledge of the facts, has, nevertheless, grown like weeds in your flower garden in recent years. For this reason, the proposal for health insurance proved to be most popular.
Constructive advancement resulted from this year's Peace Demonstration when Palaeopitus recommended to President Hopkins the establishment of a course on war in the College curriculum. "Considering the interest of the undergraduate body in developments on the European continent leading to the possibility of another war, Palaeopitus feels that it would be fittin for Dartmouth College, as a liberal institution, to offer in its curriculum a course on the 'Causes and Effects of Wars.' " The letter went on to recommend that such a course be a "purely objective inquiry into the economic causes of war as evidenced by their histories; the political and social causes of wars; international agreements, and neutrality legislation; demands for raw material . . . . ; a study of the League of Nations, and war propaganda." In summary, the last thing that could be truthfully said about the month of May is that life has been too daily for the students.
