Dartmouth 1972
Princeton at Dartmouth
October 14th, 1972
Princeton loses 14-35
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band takes a long, hard look at Darmouth College — past and present.
“Princeton Forward”
A distinctive feature of the Dartmouth campus is Dartmouth Hall, an authentic miniature replica of Princeton’s Nassau Hall. This building is part of the college built in 1769 by King George III, who’s son bombed his SAT’s but still wanted to go to an Ivy League School. This college was originally established in Lebanon, Connecticut, but was moved to beautiful Hanover for better TV reception. For over two hundred years, what happened?….Nothing. And then…they came.
“Also Sprach Zarathustra” (Band forms circle)
Yes Virginia, coeducation has arrived in Hanover. Even the Big Green football team has not made it as big as the coeds have. Dartmouth, delighted to see the coeds come, have found rising interest in the formerly-bleak New Hampshire wilderness. Even now, with the male-female ratio down to 300 to one, we can still hear Danny Dartmouth’s perennial “Vox Clamantus in Deserto” — his voice crying out in the wilderness.
“I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” (Band forms sad face)
Finally, we note with amusement the fact that a full eleven of Dartmouth’s female class has gone out for crew. We wonder why such a grueling sport has such an allure for big green women. What kind of attractions do they find in the oarhouse that they can’t find on campus? Without trying to answer these questions we salute these seemingly intrepid girls, as they pull to make the team. Forming a big green woman on the field, the Band wonders if a successful girls’ crew team can outstroke the mens’.
“Blow the Man Down” (Band forms happy face)
