In a recent opinion article in these pages, Unai Montes-Irueste ’98 wrote that “Dartmouth’s sixth President Nathan Lord was an abolitionist and admitted Black students to Dartmouth before the Civil War.”
Over a year ago, I wrote a column arguing that many of Dartmouth’s recent buildings do not respect the campus’ historical fabric. Newer additions, as I stated, are often architecturally lazy, trying to find a middle ground between appearing modern and fitting in with the Georgian red-brick theme of the College’s older buildings. This results in an unsatisfying appearance that achieves neither goal. Since that piece, multiple new campus projects have either begun construction or neared completion, including the West Wheelock residences and the renovation of the Fayerweather Halls. Rather than improving upon past additions, however, these projects continue the trend of poorly thought-out modernism. More so, they say something about the College’s shaky relationship with its own historical aesthetic.
In March, distinguished fellow Ezzedine Fishere published the English translation of his 2017 Arabic-language novel “Nightfall in Cairo.” Fishere worked with editor Sharidan Russell ’18 on the release, which was published by Commonsense House.
A Barbie doll with her fingers crossed behind her back. A small truck with a flat tire. These are some of the toy ideas of Alejandro (Julio Torres), a young man who aspires to become the world’s most famous toy designer. To achieve his dream, he must overcome a big obstacle: his precarious immigration status. Born in El Salvador, Alejandro needs visa sponsorship to continue living in New York City, but few companies are willing to hire a foreign-born worker. “Problemista” follows his effort to navigate a complicated immigration system while pursuing his lifelong dream.

On March 23, the School of Arts and Sciences Registrar’s Office and the Information, Technology and Consulting office rolled out the College’s new course selection software Courses @ Dartmouth, which features mobile compatibility, a user interface overhaul and features to prevent crashes on add/drop days. In interviews with The Dartmouth since the software’s launch, students expressed concerns about the system’s accuracy and user accessibility.
Since its launch in August 2023, the College’s Open Expression Facilitator program has supported more than 150 campus events.

With the rapid rise and development of artificial intelligence technology, the College is now offering several new courses on AI across the School of Arts and Sciences and graduate schools, according to Dartmouth News. The courses, which span a variety of degree programs and fields, center around the application and use of AI in organizational decision-making, data analysis and engineering.
Recently, deep into a mindless scroll of X, a supposed entertainment news post caught my eye. It claimed that Disney is remastering Orson Welles’s seminal 1941 film “Citizen Kane” in 4K, “updating it for modern audiences with meaningful additions such as credit scores and transition lenses.”
“I think it’s really time for the country to get on to something else,” President Donald Trump asserted two months ago in response to questions about the new batch of Epstein files.

Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
As the Class of 2026’s graduation approaches, many are surely reckoning with those last few bucket list items that remain unchecked. Whether they hope to finally perform karaoke at Sawtooth, to tackle the Lou's challenge or to go to their first Friday afternoon class, time is running out. Careful planning is necessary to ensure a satisfying climax to the Dartmouth experience.
One of my favorite things about living in an off-campus apartment is that I have the option to cook and eat whenever I want. My roommates would probably make fun of me for saying this, given that I have cooked exactly one meal this year. However, if you count pouring my bottled iced coffee into a cup and sprinkling granola into my individual yogurt containers, then I have made many more meals than my roommates would give me credit for. I enjoy being able to walk to the kitchen in my pajamas in the morning and grab a cup of coffee and a yogurt to eat and drink leisurely as I get ready for the day. This routine emulates the sense of separation between home and school that I lost when I moved away for college.
