WITH THE OUTING CLUB

FROM their Happy Hunting Ground above, Chief Waternomee and his tribal followers have been peering down upon, and nodding their approval of the modern Dartmouth Indians' work on their earthly Happy Hunting Ground, Moosilauke Mountain Summit. This summer marks the seventeenth year of Dartmouth undergraduates' supervision of the peak. Their work has been that of gradual improvement, not only of the mountain trails, but of the Summit House, the oldest existing mountain summit house in the country.

The Mooshillock Prospect House, now the Moosilauke Summit Camp, was opened July 4, iB6O, amid festivities which included a brass band concert and "patriotic orations," to over a thousand people. ("Mooshillock" was for a long time the accepted name of the mountain, but the original "Moosilauke," which is Indian for "bald place," has proved to be the more favorable.) This popular haven for eastern mountain-climbers was placed in the hands of the Outing Club in 1920. For each summer succeeding its acquisition, student crews have been running the establishment on a paying basis and cater to a heterogeneous clientele of Dartmouth alumni, Appalachian Mountain Club members, Hanover townspeople, and neighboring boys' and girls' camps.
