Dartmouth Night
Started in 1895 by President William Jewett Tucker, Dartmouth Night was originally a recognition of accomplishments by alumni of the college and a time to initiate freshman into the community. Over the years, the celebration has come to include the traditional bonfire, homecoming events, and a football game. Shown here is the bonfire from 1911 - one of the earliest images of the event.
