HANOVER, N. H., Nov. 4, 1882. The friends of Dartmouth watched with considerable interest the incoming of the present freshman class. It was thought by many that the way in which the college troubles of last year were magnified and exaggerated by certain reckless newspaper correspondents, would be the means of decreasing the number of applicants for admission this fall.
