DUNSTER HOUSE'S GATES ARE DEDICATED BY DONOR

C.D. Stillman '30 Presents Gate Key to Professor Greenough--Speaks of Value of Tradition

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A gathering of 50 members of Dunster House in the quadrangle of the House yesterday morning witnessed the formal dedication of the gates given by C.D. Stillman '30 in memory of his father Charles Chauncey Stillman '98.

Mr. Stillman, in dedicating the gate, spoke of the value in tradition to institutions such as Harvard College of gifts associated with former graduates. He then opened the gate with a large iron key, which was then presented to Professor C.N. Greenough '98, Master of the House. Professor Greenough spoke with feeling of the donor of the present University infirmary, a class mate of his.

Parts of the Dunster crest are embodied in the large center gate, which is flanked by two side portals. The inscription, beneath the motto "Mihi Parta Tuerl", reads: "In memory of Charles Chauncey Stillman, of the Class of 1898, these gates to Dunster House were given by his son Chauncey Devereux Stillman, Class of 1930."
