Editorial Policy

The Dartmouth welcomes all contributions, which can be delivered to the Editor preferably via e-mail to editor@thedartmouth.com and/or opinion@thedartmouth.com. Submissions may also be sent via mail to The Dartmouth, 6175 Robinson Hall, Hanover, NH 03755 or delivered in person to 221 Robinson Hall.

All submissions become property of The Dartmouth. Because The Dartmouth receives more letters and columns than available space can accommodate, not all submissions can be acknowledged or printed.

Letters to the Editor should be a maximum of 300 words long and respond to a prior article published in The Dartmouth. Guest columns should be a maximum of 1,000 words long and bring up a new topic rather than respond to a prior article. Both Letters to the Editor and guest columns must observe formal rules of spelling and grammar and include the name, location and contact information of the author. All factual claims must be backed up by credible, appropriate sources. The sources must be included with the submission, usually in the form of a link. The Dartmouth cannot publish letters or columns that make unsubstantiated factual claims and reserves the right to edit all material.

An editorial column that appears without a byline during Fall, Winter or Spring term represents the views of The Dartmouth. An editorial that appears without a byline during the summer reflects the views of the Summer term directorate. Any other column, letter or cartoon is the work of the attributed author and does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of The Dartmouth.
