Dartmouth College students are sending Chancellor Hitler blood samples of four races and offering him a $5 prize if he can tell the difference. Inspired by a series of articles in The Daily Dartmouth, undergraduate newspaper, the student body plans to send the Fuehrer test tubes containing samples of Jewish, Negro, “Aryan” and Mongolian blood together with a card offering him $5 if he can distinguish one from the others — a feat which Dartmouth chemists have declared impossible.
