February 1922

Carnival was as usual a tremendous success. Bert Lowe played for the ball which was a costume party on which undergraduate imagination and resourcefulness was liberally expended. Outdoor evening was launched as a Carnival event. Dartmouth won all Carnival athletic events Unbuttoned galoshes were an imperative style and from them the term "flapper" was born Rich hauls of bootleg booze were being made by prohibition agents throughout the country. Everyone laughed over agents Izzy and Moe who used elaborate disguises President Hopkins secured national recognition on editorial pages for his neat reply to Baptist fundamentalists who demanded the dismissal of professors hostile to their doctrines Professor Washburn of the Political Science department received his appointment as United States Ambassador to Austria Dartmouth trailed Cornell and Harvard in the Triangular Track Meet but Roy Brown again set a world record for the high jump at 6-4% The hockey season petered out in a burst of three games cancelled for lack of ice.
