Never Before

For 27 years, the Dartmouth Winter Carnival has been held at Hanover against a snow-white background. Although other New England ski meets have had to be canceled because of unfavorable weather, snow always fell for Dartmouth.

Last week, on the eve of the 1938 Carnival, the campus at Hanover looked like a Dixie landscape. To postpone the Carnival was unthinkable. Like Mahomet, Dartmouth went farther up into the New Hampshire hills, found snow at Moose Mountain ten miles away, laid out ski trails and transported its guests.

Although the weather was anything but perfect, Dartmouth was rewarded by winning every event on the program for a perfect score of 500--the first time in Carnival history.
