Blaine Steinberg ’15 died this evening at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center after falling ill.
In the heyday of sophomore summer, the hot air clung to campus like a sweaty bed sheet, a strained bubble threatening to burst, saturated with a tantalizing blend of feverish heat and fervent youth. The Connecticut River sparkled, beckoning the glare of the rising sun creeping from the east. Down Tuck Drive, she was sitting alone on a bench. It was uncharacteristically early, and campus had only just begun to stir. In the stillness of the morning, she was numb.
Big Green goaltender Charles Grant ’16 and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute forward Ryan Haggerty control their teams’ postseason fates. As the two teams prepare to face off this weekend in the first round of the ECAC men’s hockey tournament, all eyes will be them in one of the key matchups of the series.
Transitioning from the Toronto Furies to the Brampton Thunder was not easy. I was joining a new team with new coaches and players who had already played together for a good part of the season. I was once again a new player fighting for a spot on the team that already had six defenders. Although the team welcomed me with open arms, there was naturally some tension.
The men’s and women’s tennis teams continued their strong season with three wins last weekend. The men defeated Ball State University and Indiana University, winning 6-1 and 4-1, respectively, and will travel to Virginia over break. The women beat the University of Massachusetts 7-0 and will head to California.
By experimenting with music in unconventional time signatures and exploring a wide range of modern movement, the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble will perform the winter showcase “Diversions and Sports” tonight, headed by two-time guest director John Heginbotham.
When 200 women joined the Class of 1976, the male-dominated Dartmouth community reacted with mixed emotions — some welcomed the female students, while others displayed hostility. The music and theater departments, however, largely avoided the eye of the storm.
Before Dartmouth became coeducational in fall 1972, a handful of pioneering transfer students in the theater department helped to pave the path for women to follow. The women had participated in the Congregation of the Arts, a summer arts program on campus from 1963-1969 that brought together musicians, composers, actors and dancers from various colleges.
