...formative stage 55 men turned out. With the added incentive of the possibility of receiving a minor H, a larger turnout is expected this year, and more serious work is planned. Freshmen are to be allowed to compete on the varsity squad, and will receive their numerals in lieu of the letter. Intramural races in Tuckerman's Ravine will be held early in March, but other than that and the Dartmouth Carnival, no other competitions have been planned.

S. debtors pay their domestic creditors a paper dollar premium in lieu of gold. Bondholders took their coupons to their banks and got 100? on the dollar-in currency. Those who asked for gold were told they could not have it. The only foreign debtors who last week made a gesture of maintaining gold payments in New York were the French municipalities...
