Dartmouth College traditions
　　The Dartmouth Outing Club, founded in 1909, organized a wow account winter weekend field day in 1910. This was an athletic event centered on skiing, a sport which the Outing Club helped to pioneer and publicize on a national scale. In 1911, the event was named Winter Carnival, social events were added, and women were invited to wow account attend. By 1919 the emphasis had shifted to dances organized by fraternities. Special trains made runs to transport women guests to Dartmouth, and National Geographic Magazine referred to it as the Mardi Gras of wow account the North. The event became famous, much as Spring Break in Fort Lauderdale was to be during the 1950s and 1960s.
　　Carnival was the wow account subject of the frothy 1939 motion picture comedy Winter Carnival, starring Ann Sheridan, who plays a former Winter Carnival Queen of the Snows who has made a bad marriage to a wow account European duke and revisits Dartmouth in an attempt to save her younger sister, the current Queen, from repeating her mistake with a European count.
　　The movie is wow account remembered mostly for its extracinematic associations; F. Scott Fitzgerald and Dartmouth alumnus Budd Schulberg were hired to write the screenplay. While gathering background in Hanover during Carnival, Fitzgerald swiss watch became scandalously drunk at fraternities and was forced to leave the project. Although portions of his work were used, he was not given a writers credit. The events and personalities bear a resemblance to those recounted in Schulbergs novel, The Disenchanted.
