1."What if when they rebuilt Dartmouth Hall, they painted it pink?" What a great question! Just kidding. That's an awful question.2. "What if Dartmouth were originally created as a clown school rather than a school to educate Native Americans?" I'm not sure, but I would have loved to take classes in the CS department, by which I mean Clown Studies.3. "What if everyone at Dartmouth rode Segways?" Courtesy of staff writer Sean Schultz. What were you thinking?4. "What if the snow sculpture were traditionally always made of bacon?" Then we obviously would have deconstructed the cupcake weeks ago and campus would have been delighted to smell sizzling pork products for hours.5. "What if Dr. Seuss didn't go to Dartmouth?" That's an easy one: We'd be Middlebury.

Cornell: "I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." Oh really?
University of Rochester: "Better." It just goes to show you that shorter is not always, well, you know, better.
Evergreen State College: "Let it all hang out." This is actually an accredited institution of higher learning.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: "Never tickle a sleeping dragon." You'd think that Rowena, Godric, Salazar and Helga would have come up with something slightly more spellbinding.
Stephenson College: "One day I will rule the world." Noted alumni may include Mussolini, Hitler and Qadaffi.

Because we'd rather inhale the clean mountain air than clouds of Philadelphia poison gas.
Because we may not have Emma Watson, but we have (had?) the Sun God.
Because the Ledyard Challenge is fun. The Charles Challenge is a death sentence.

Carrie Bradshaw and Meredith Grey both called the men of their dreams embarrassing pet names for over five seasons. The cast of "The Hangover" (2009) popularized referring to a whore as a "very nice lady." Regina George popularized referring to a very nice girl as a whore. Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake tried to prove that being "Friends with Benefits" is more than a recipe for disaster.

Earlier this week, three former employees of @HermanCain accused the presidential hopeful of sexual harrassment. We assume he'll continue denying the charge clearly, the problem with that accusation is that it is #incorrect. Forget the #999plan better to just call #911.

Many senior societies make their memberships public at graduation, when members carry canes adorned with their society's respective emblems. The cane designs of several societies are scattered throughout the issue. Note that not all canes are shown. For example, although members of Dragon have canes, they do not walk with them during graduation.
