"THESE BOYS ARE ALL RIGHT" said Dartmouth's able, wise President in recent private conversation with the writer as he referred to the present student body. . . .

IF ANY OF YOU OLDER GRADUATES have doubts about there being a decadent spirit among the undergraduates at Hanover, you should have seen the recent Princeton basketball game.... trailing by 12 points with 41/2 minutes to go, the packed gym rose as one and stood for rest of the fray, yelling, pleading, praising in continuous roar.... to see the winning basket dumped in with less than 2 seconds to go. . . .we have seen a lot of enthusiastic outbursts in nearly 40 years of Dartmouth activities.... but nothing that ever exceeded this surge by team and students alike . . don't let anyone tell you that these present kids on Hanover Plain haven't guts.
