The photographer was standing at Prexy's Garden, a hill southeast of town, presumably Velvet Rocks. The Alumni Oval, Alumni Gym and Memorial Field occupied the N.H.C. farm beginning in 1893 (image titled "Dartmouth from Prex's Garden" from American Memory, Historical Collections for the National Digital Library, Library of Congress).
