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. This would doubtless have been the case had it not been for the foresight of the trustees and faculty.

Its southern chapters were broken up by the Rebellion, the Amherst chapter died in 1870, the Yale chapter was suppressed by the faculty...
