Dartmouth, you've come a long way baby

To the Editor:

When I was elected student body president at the end of my sophomore year in 1990 it was widely reported that I was the first-ever "non-Greek" to hold that office. It was never reported that I was gay. Sadly, winning that race as an openly gay candidate would not have been possible.

I am ecstatic to learn that Dartmouth has progressed. Tim Andreadis '07's stunning write-in victory is a cause for celebration for countless alumni who could not live their lives fully and truthfully while in Hanover.
