The College

"It is significant that the adoption of shorts for Hanover wear is the first concerted undergraduate movement in several years. Not since the breaking down of old traditions in 1924, headed by the abandonment of the picture fight by the Class of 1926, has The Dartmouth crusaded as energetically or has the student body responded as unanimously. Critics of the 1930 college generation could receive [a] little encouragement from the joyful and spontaneous support given to the Shorts Campaign - something new and different, serious enough to take pride in but amusing enough to be smiled at."
