Hymn to Dartmouth

The verses of Hymn to Dartmouth first appeared in the December 1952 issue of the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE, with an invitation to Dartmouth men to provide music for the words by Stephen Chase 96From the musical settings submitted, that by Herbert A. "Jib" Dingwall '16, former president of the Dartmouth Club of New York, was the choice of members of the College's music department. The Dartmouth Glee Club will sing the new song on its tour through the South in March and April.

Mr. Chase wrote Hymn to Dartmouth in Hanover, after he and classmates had a dinner discussion about Dartmouth songs. Mr. Dingwall's musical hobbies have for many years included composing and arranging. One of his arrangements for a Burns poem was sung by the Glee Club in 1951.
