New Hampshire Outing Club
The New Hampshire Outing Club (NHOC) is the oldest and largest student organization at the University of New Hampshire in Durham. Founded in 1911, it currently has around 250 members. The NHOC typically offers 2 to 3 trips each weekend to go hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, caving, skydiving, snowshoeing, downhill and cross-country skiing, and mountaineering. The club has also led sailing trips in the summer. The club is entirely student run and decisions for the club are made at weekly business meetings that are open to anyone in the club.
Famous quotes containing the words hampshire and/or club:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
