Dartmouth College - Aegis Yearbook (Hanover, NH)

the class room, and when we couldn ' t win the flag rush, we didn ' t do a thing but get Chuck to take it away from ' 98 and give it, after the ex- citement had subsided, to the boy wonder from Chicago. As has been said, we scarcely know what Dartmouth will do when we are gone. There will be no Heald to run the college, no Richards to lead society, no Cap Shaw to occupy the mayor ' s chair in Lebanon, no O ' Brion, no Brown, b)- hen! and, alas, no Huckins. We have always been very catty people. A score or more of us had a of a time at that ' 98 (?) horning bee, but none of us contributed when it came time to pay the fiddler. However, we never pay for anything. It seems rather strange that all the brains in Dartmouth should have centered in ' 97. We have .sometimes wondered if there were enough left in the country to furnish other clas.ses of ' 97. We are now longing to take our degrees as Freshmen Alumni, because we can already see how impatiently the world has been waiting for the graduation of Dartmouth, ' 97. Not a man of us, but is and ever shall be, an honor to the college and to the farm from which he sprung. Sincerely yours, Senior Histori. n. 16

Kt M ' TCH is heard now-a-days of the New Dartmouth. Did you ever stop to think what that term really signifies? Simply this. It means that in the year of our Lord, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Three, the class of ' 97 arrived in Hanover, and having installed a new president, immediately drew up plans for a radical change in the college. The faitliful cooperation of the three u]iper classes, the faculty, the trustees, and the alunnii, has given us the New Dartmouth. At pre- sent our sole and only source of worry arises from the fear that succeeding classes will be unable to maintain the high standard of our endeavors. As our previous historian has declared, ' 97 has done much toward pre- serving ancient customs, ■•■ and, we might add, has done far more toward inaugurating nianj valuable new ones. For instance, we never paid for our baseball suits. True, ' 98 absolutel)- refu.sed to follow our example, but see how well our little ' 99 lirothers have outdone even our efforts in that line. Then, we were the first Sophomore class that ever, in the liistory of this old institution, lost the Sophomore-Freshman football game. Here, again, ' 98 was obstinate, but then we can ' t e.xpect them to absorb our glorious record in too big lumps. We have never, since we have been in college, paid our share of the taxes. Once more ' 98 has given us great trouble by refusing to adopt the custom which we so zealously founded, but we have great hopes of ' 99. We have won football rushes, salt rushes, cane rushes and, in fact, all sorts and conditions of rushes, in all sorts and conditions of places, except in • I-lnnking, cribbing, cutting, etc. s
