The Casque and Gauntlet (C&G) Senior Society at Dartmouth College was founded in late March, 1886 by members of the class of 1887, making it the second-oldest senior society at Dartmouth.
Membership is exclusive yet non-secret and co-ed. The delegation inhabited the house, located at 1 South Main Street in Hanover, New Hampshire, from 1894 until 2020. During World War II, C&G suspended operations while it leased its building to Dartmouth, and it soon returned to its former traditions. With the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, C&G made the difficult decision to lease the house to the Tuck School for three years. In January 2024 the House was sold back to the College.
Student delegations are still very active on campus and get together weekly for meetings, get togethers, and important traditions such as Spring Feed.
C&G began to induct women in 1979, following Dartmouth’s decision to do so in 1972. The members of C&G experience a close-knit fellowship that unites them in their cause to aid and encourage one another to actively pursue paths toward their ideals.
