THE COLLEGE

THIS is the time of year when an unconscionable publicity director could draw a hyperbolic, yet actual, picture of Dartmouth undergraduates avid for knowledge. A crowd of students on the library steps waiting for the doors to open, dorms and fraternity houses ablaze with lights far into the early morning hours, midnight oil and No-Doz tablets in short supply, earnest discussions and comparing of notes as men cross the campus and have their meals together, a businesslike, no-time-to-waste atmosphere pervading the College.

Alumni will easily guess that, once again, it is the time of final exams. Students stream into Alumni Gymnasium and, two hours later, stream out again, elated, depressed, uncertain how they do feel. The graduate observer is certain of one thing - it is entirely possible to get through the battle, survive it, and live to fight another day.
