POLO PLAYERS ORGANIZE
February 1937 William B. Rotch ’37

Among the new sports at Dartmouth might be listed polo, since Boot and Saddle, the undergraduate riding club, announced that it will field the first polo team in college history this spring, and has communicated with Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, hoping to ride against their junior varsities. The freshman Greenbook finally appeared. Essentially a means for freshmen to become acquainted with their classmates, the book has established a tradition for appearing late that is probably harder to reform than most students realize. The sale of the Aegis began, when the student board, operating under College supervision, announced plans for the book to be a well-rounded review of the College year, with emphasis on modern photography.

This column seems to depend to an inordinate degree on opinions presented in The Dartmouth. Sometimes we think it is caused by our own lack of original ideas, at other times by a feeling that the daily does a fairly adequate job of presenting a cross-section of undergraduate opinion. Among the more serious, and we think sincere, editorials, was one on the paper's "honor roll of Dartmouth men .... students, alumni, faculty, administrative officers .... who have contributed to the life of the college and the nation in 1936." Heading the list was praise of the Art Department, for provocative classroom lectures, and for succeeding in making art a part of the daily life of hundreds of Dartmouth students. David Camerer '37 was praised for his intimate football stories, Dr. Roy B. Chamberlin for his work in Hanover, and in particular two professors, Sydney Cox and John M. Mecklin, who in various ways have made their students think. There are others on the list: Edmund D. Day '05, Herman Feldman of Tuck School, Ernest Martin Hopkins, and Bruce Knight of the Economics Department. Samuel French Morse '36 was praised, and Paul Sample 'go for winning first place in the International Art Exhibition at Pittsburgh. Also Budd Schulberg '36, Robert C. Strong, and Leonard D. White '14.
