LO, THE POOR INDIAN

Taxation without representation, notorious as a cause of the war that won America her independence, has led Dartmouth to cast aside usual restraint and to enter the political arena. Recent efforts by the local authorities to tax the fraternities have stirred the undergraduates to active demonstrations of resistance.

As a protest against the so-called tyranny, the students stormed the meeting of the School Board. It was not so much the actual payment that was irksome, it was the principle of the thing. The blood of the northern Indian runs hot and strong, for he is willing to throw himself upon the iron hand of politics. But this efforts will be as impotent as any attempt that Harvard could make to interfere in the Cambridge elections.

The inability of American students to combat the wily politician is shown by the case with which the Indian attack was thrown off. The School Board has carefully postponed its next meeting until the day after the Christmas holidays begin.
