Under the new scale students maintaining an average grade of 85 percent or above will receive $400 for the year and those maintaining an average grade of 75 to 84 percent inclusive will receive $300 for the year, which is the full amount of the tuition...
Dartmouth, after rolling up 59 points against Norwich last week, is likely to have another afternoon of track practice at the expense of Hobart College. The Norwich players, after the game last Saturday, stated that they considered the Dartmouth team as 50 percent better than last year.

Forty-two percent of the seniors never drink, and it is rumored that this year the funds, instead of being used for a senior picnic, will purchase two heroic statues for the steps of Widener Rodin's 'Le Penseur,' representing Concentration and one of G. K. Chesterton, symbolic of Distribution. Surely the freshmen...
