The Dartmouth

Editor's Note

Dartmouth students, of course. As if you even have to ask.

It's true that we have a lot to be proud of here at the College. Not only do we work harder, but also we rage harder than our peers.

As a publication named after the most narcissistic object in existence, it's only fitting that The Compact Mirror's theme this week is vanity.

Erin and Tatiana debate the (de)merits of the self-call, while Conrad and Elise examine the intricacies of vanity at Dartmouth. Paul takes a look at the evolutionary benefits and social drawbacks of vanity, and Patrick offers some suggestions for upping your facetime this season.

Vanity can be harmless in small doses, as long as we own up to it. But heed the fate of Narcissus, my friends don't waste your life away gazing lovingly at your own reflection.

I leave you with the words of Al Pacino: "Vanity is my favorite sin."

Besos.
