...plan to erect a new building for the Varsity Club is a step which will assure beyond doubt the permanence of an excellent institution. It is especially fitting that the new clubhouse should be so closely connected with the Union, for both are primarily democratic in spirit.

Dartmouth men feel that their team possesses a power that has not yet had a fair opportunity to display itself. It is the power that was evidenced in the Colby game, strikingly shown in periods of the Williams game, and brought out with the determination of a strong team following the Princeton touchdown in New York...
