Dartmouth Winter Carnival: 1930s to 1960s

A selection of scenes taken during winter carnival events from the 1930s to the 1960s. Winter Carnival dates back to 1911 and is the nation’s oldest collegiate winter celebration. Still a major social and athletics event at Dartmouth College, the carnival is a celebration of winter activities, and each year features a large snow sculpture on the Dartmouth College Green in Hanover, New Hampshire. These selected scenes include ski-jumping, downhill and cross-country skiing, figure skating, snow sculptures, the Carnival Queen competition, the Dartmouth Glee Club singing, and other social and athletic events surrounding the Carnival weekend.
