Dartmouth Men Are More Generous and Better Dancers, But Less Dignified Than Harvard Says Copley Bellboy

That Dartmouth men were more generous and better dancers than Harvard men was the statement made by one of the bellboys at the Copley Plaza Hotel. This opinion, based on facts disclosed by the two intercollegiate balls of last week, and confirmed by general discussion among his fellow workers, was given to a CRIMSON reporter yesterday. On the other hand, the consensus of opinion among the uniformed hands at the same hostelry is that the local students show greater signs of sobriety than the invaders.

"Yes," remarked the bellboy. "It was a gay week-end, and we enjoyed it just as much as the boys from Dartmouth. The reason I say that the Dartmouth men are more generous is because they invariably tipped us more than the boys from Cambridge." When asked whether Dartmouth's generosity could not be traced to the prosperous condition of the invaders as a result of successful wagers, the attendant replied. "No, they were just as generous Friday as they were Saturday. But the Harvard fellows treat the hotel more as their home, and consequently sometimes forget that we are personal servants. The Dartmouth fellows aren't in here often, and so don't get a chance to feel at home."

On the dance-floor the Big Green is as far ahead of Harvard as on the gridiron, according to the bellboy, who admitted that he had been impressed by the Terpsichorean demonstration put on by the men from Hanover. "In their dancing it was the same way as with their football. They had punch, pep, and knew what was coming next every minute. On football Harvard was satisfies with straight football, and their dancing was the same way. Out in the Stadium, Dartmouth put on trick plays, and here they went in for the Charleston. Yes sir, they put on a snake dance in Cambridge and they also had their snake dance in here."

Harvard came off with a better score in the matter of sobriety, however. Although the Copley Plaza official would not give the Crimson a clean bill in this respect, he admitted that the Harvard men seemed less in need of stimulates than the Hanoverians. Who indulged the most, I can't say, but I know that the Harvard men carried themselves with more dignity than our visitors."
