'inf '1 'TH E 'TQTEM t 5 MACMILLAN'S FLAG if tlllfN Capt. Donald ll. Klachlillan sailed from XYiscasset in V june, 19253, on his .Xrctic expedition. the only .Xmerican Hag A which he carried was presented to him by the students of the fl it Geography Department of this school. This Hag flew from the top-mast of the sturdy little llowdoin at its entrance to all of the ports and little fishing villages from Wiscasset to litah in North Greenland, and back again to Wliscasset. It was also run up the top-mast on every holiday and on all the birthdays of the men in the party. Perhaps. though, its most interesting use was at the unveiling of the tablet to Captain Greeley and the brave men of his llolar expedition of several years ago. Constant flapping in the breezes at the top o' the world naturally wore the Hag con- siderably. llowever, the combination of some pieces from somebody's red ilannel shirt and the unsuspected skill of some Eskimo girls in sewing, have given us a rare specimen of mending on the ilag. On October Ill, 1924, at an assembly of the school, Captain Klachlillan returned the tlag to the school. lt is to have a corner where it will be preserved and may be seen by all as a constant reminder of our small share in the work of a man who promises to rank among the world's great. 8
