THE REMARKS of Joel G. Harris 'l5 at the presentation of the Dartmouth Cup to the Monroe (Ga.) Aggies high school follow:

"Before relinquishing this trophy I'd like to sketch briefly a little of the history behind it. Dartmouth College has not been well known in the South. Recently, however, the Dartmouth Winter Carnival, and some good football teams have won for Dartmouth a bigger place in the sports world. In the scholastic world, Dartmouth's present method of admission under the Selective Process, and the progressiveness of her educational policies under President Ernest Martin Hopkins, have won national recognition.

"When I was in college Dartmouth's football teams were known as the "Big Green" teams. Today they are also known as the Dartmouth Indians. I wonder how many of you know why? It is because the College was started as a free school for the Christian education of Indians, and even today a man with Indian blood can get free tuition at Dartmouth provided he can meet the standards for admission.

"Eleazar Wheelock founded the Moor's Indian Charity School in 1754 and got the first charter for Dartmouth College from King George 111 of England in 1769 under the sponsorship of the Earl of Dartmouth, for whom the college is named. In 1818 the State of New Hampshire tried to wrest the college from the trustees, resulting in the famous Dartmouth College Case which was heard by the United States Supreme Court. Daniel Webster, one of Dartmouth's most famous graduates, argued and won that case and in his closing remarks used the statement so often quoted, "Dartmouth is a small college but there are those who love it."

"Today it is not so small and there are many who love it. The Dartmouth Club of Georgia would like to see more boys from Georgia at Hanover. Last fall three boys enter from Atlanta and they are doing good work. Dartmouth's enrollment in eludes students from all over the world.

My purpose tonight is to present this cup. This is the second Dartmouth Cup that has been offered in competition among schools in the G.I.A.A. Boys High of Atlanta retired the first one in 1935 by winning it three years; the first leg on this cup was won by Lanier High of Macon in 1936, and the second by Tech High of Atlanta in 1937. Now you have won a leg and we are proud to be able to engrave the name of your school on our cup. If you win it two more years you gain permanent possession of it. In the meantime we are happy to know it is in your trophy room—and more power to your team next year."

TWENTY-TWO TEMPORALLY expatriated Dartmouth men came to the Capitol City club at Atlanta, Ga., to join the thousands of Dartmouth men on Dartmouth Night. Eating and drinking, singing in vague reminiscence of half forgotten songs, and chatting with gusto and enthusiasm, ruled away many hours of pleasant comradeship. To report the details of what was said and done is so incidental it seems best to say that we all felt that our own little bit of Dartmouth was there in that room and again became part of what we all had known and loved.
