...article on our first page on the Dartmouth Aegis. calls attention to our own Index. The Harvard Index is published for use and convenience only. At Harvard, such a publication as the Aegis would not succeed, would not, we think, be at all popular. Certain it is that the "grinds," as they call them, would not be endured here. We almost wonder that they meet with favor anywhere. An explanation is found, perhaps, in the fact that in other colleges which are smaller, the students are better acquainted and generally more intimate. Only on the score of great familiarity...
...believe that all the American colleges, excepting Harvard, have an annual publication of the same nature as the Dartmouth "Aegis," which has just come to my notice. The nearest thing that we have to it at Harvard is the "Index," but our Index is not to be compared with the elaborate affair published by Dartmouth and other colleges. Our "Index" is for use and convenience only, but such a publication as the "Aegis" not only embodies a full college directory, but has hard "grinds" on the students and the faculty as well, sketches of college life, cartoons...
...Dartmouth Aegis, 1 suppose, may be taken as a type of the similar publications in other colleges. As a type, then, it is an interesting study. Let us examine it. We find two engravings of the new college chapel and library, both very handsome buildings. Two prominent full page cuts are entitled "The Last Cane Rush," and "Cremation," the latter referring to the day annually dedicated to Mathematics. Lastly is a full page picture of the editors of the publication. Among many of the list of clubs and societies we find some very appropriate cuts. The name of the "Dartmouth...
...following from the "Aegis" is of considerable interest: -A Tragedy of Errors, or 'Dartmouth picked out of the League,' a drama of facts." The first is on the "College Ground, Cambridge," with "groups of dudes twirling canes and adjusting eyeglasses." The whole drama is very good reading indeed-to Dartmouth Men. The personal "grinds" in the "Aegis" are almost without number. "Nominibus onusis" here are some of them, "-, 'asinus asinorum'; -, 'I had rather tell ten lies than say a word of truth' -, 'Great Bacchus is my deity." These grinds are doubtless the soul of Dartmouth wit. We may well pity...
Such a book as the "Aegis" lets one into the college life as no other book could do. Containing, as the "Aegis" does, a little of everything, and the essence of that, it enables one to make a comparatively perfect picture of Dartmouth life, a picture that is of interest to us because Dartmouth life is much different from our own. The "Aegis" is published annually by editors from the junior class...
