1900
Within the past year, your class officers have been entrusted with two similar but unusual arrangements. In the first case, the executor of Howard Skillin's estate sent his Psi Upsilon pin. In the other, Charlie Rogers' Theta Delta Chi and Casque & Gauntlet pins were sent in by his sister-in-law. In both cases, the pins will be put into the possession of the societies concerned for such disposition as they might wish to make of them.

October 7, 1898 - "The Dartmouth takes pleasure in announcing the election of V. A.Salinger '00 as Assistant Business Manager of The Dartmouth for his junior year, to become Business Manager next year, believing that in the hands of Mr. Salinger, the interests of The Dartmouth and of the College will be faithfully subserved, as Mr. Salinger, by his qualities of hustle and push, is admirably qualified for the position."
Among the thirteen students voted the Rufus Choate grade of scholarship are the names of R. A. Dunlap, H. R. Hastings, F. M.Howe, H. E. Keyes, F. C. Lewis and H. L.Sampson.
Phantoms of Fame: "H. L. Lampson '00 (sic.) is contemplating a stumping tour of New Hampshire this fall under the auspices of the Republican State Central Committee."
October 14, 1898 - Annual athletic meet. "In the hundred-yard finals, Hubbard '02 was pushed hard by McDavitt, but he ran a strong race and crossed the tape a winner by a foot with McDavitt second. McDavitt got down to business in the 220 finals and won by three yards. The 880 yards was won by Bogue '00 with Trull '00 and H. M. Jenkins '00 taking second and third. In the two-mile run Tirrell '00 was one third of a lap behind until the last lap which he covered in a pretty sprint and almost overhauled the leader. The sprint was brilliant but begun too late. Running broad jump won by Murray '00. Quarter-mile relay - McDavitt, Sprague, Gibson, Salinger third."
November 18, 1898 -"Joseph Wentworth of Sandwich, N. H., was elected captain of the varsity eleven next year by a vote nearly unanimous and made wholly so upon a motion by the other aspirant for the honor. Wentworth has abundant hustle and activity and the college has every confidence in his ability to turn out another winning team next year." In the report of the Dartmouth (10) Williams (6) football game appear the names of the following 1900 men: Boyle, Butterfield, Rogers, Corson, Stickney, Wentworth, Proctor, Jennings.
December 9, 1898 - "The 1900 Aegis will appear about December 10. "Great pains have been taken to make this edition superior to previous issues. Owing to the general sameness in color and the poor imitation of the Dartmouth green during previous years, a very dark colored red, stamped with the College seal has been chosen. A full page halftone of William, Earl of Dartmouth, makes a very striking frontispiece. The book contains about 300 pages of which 218 are solid typed matter. A special department has been given to grinds, of which there are 60 pages. A new departure is found in the mingling of literary matter with the grinds, thus giving the serious as well as the lighter side of student nature."
