Winter 1992 • Volume 85 • Number 4

Without winter, there would be no Dartmouth.

On the other hand, ten feet of snow wouldn't havefallen on the campus in 1957. The temperaturewouldn't have plunged 23 below zero in 1933. And College officials wouldn't have felt obligated to cheer up students by calling the period starting January 11 "SpringTerm." For other delights of the season, SEE PAGE 18.
