Hanover Holiday
PLANS for the third annual session of Hanover Holiday were completed during April with the announcement of the lecture schedule for the alumni college which is to be held during the week following Commencement, June 19 to 24. Through its ten morning and evening lectures on some of the problems and developments of the day, the Holiday will endeavor to attain the twofold objective of fulfilling the College's educational obligation towards its alumni and of providing an opportunity for alumni to know the faculty better.
All but one of the ten informal lectures will be given by Dartmouth faculty members. The schedule from Monday evening through Saturday morning will be presented as follows:
Monday, June 19 8:30 P.M. Frank M. Anderson, professor of History, "If War Comes."

The tuition fee of $5.00 will cover all ten lectures in the Hanover Holiday series. In cooperation with the alumni college directors, the Hanover Inn has set special rates, including tuition, ranging from $36.00 to $33.50 per person for six full days, with room and meals at the Inn. Lower rates will be in effect for children, for whom the Inn is also arranging a play school to accommodate those under 6 and a program of instruction in outdoor activities for older children.
At the conclusion of last year's Hanover Holiday, "Dean" Herbert W. Hill passed out a questionnaire and invited comments from the alumni in attendance. Opinion was almost unanimously favorable in the submitted comments, some of which are herewith printed: E. J. Felt '18: "Hanover Holiday was a delightful experience and its alumni spreading the news of their enjoyment will surely create a problem of accommodation for you to worry about. To any who are skeptical about a course of lectures, let me say that adherence to a mild routine adds greatly to the joy of being in Hanover. Certainly the group at the Inn became acquainted more quickly and enjoyed each other's company the more because of it."
F. Dusossoit Duke '18: "The idea of the Hanover Holiday is a very good one, which I hope can be continued. It should be kept on an informal, friendly basis, with discussions of timely social and economic questions."
Mrs. T. B. Robbins ('18): "The Hanover Holiday has been a well-rounded vacation. The lectures, in addition to being interesting and thought provoking, have given us definite things to do at definite times and have kept us from becoming too lazy under the influence of such good food at the Inn."
Norman McCulloch '17: "It fills a definite need for the business man alumnus. My type, anyhow. Thanks a lot for the opportunity."
L. D. Stilwell (faculty): "The Holiday itself is very good. Tell the alumni to come back and educate the faculty. They need it."
SENIOR JANITOR DIES George H. Clayton, janitor of ParkhurstHall since it first opened in 1911 and employee of the College for 49 years, died onMarch 27.
