Montalbano: You Can’t Reason With a Tiger When Your Head is in Its Mouth
(08/15/25 8:05am)
Today, President Donald Trump and President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska to discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine. Students of history may find the circumstance disquietingly similar to an event 87 years ago, but I am shocked by how few people seem to be talking about it.
Manning: Academic Boycotts Make No Sense
(08/15/25 8:10am)
Campus protests, opinion pieces and open letters continue to petition for boycotts of Israeli academics, as a means of pressuring Israel to end its war in Gaza. I argue that weakening academia anywhere, including Israel, is most likely to have consequences exactly opposite to petitioners’ stated or implied goals of helping Palestinian people in Gaza.
Moyse: Dartmouth’s High on Grass
(08/15/25 8:30am)
The other morning, I was enjoying a leisurely stroll to the gym. I was doing something dumb on my phone when suddenly, I was struck by a splash of cold water. I looked up, expecting an errant water balloon or an ephemeral summer shower. I was instead greeted by a cold, unfeeling black cylinder emerging mysteriously from the ground. I had once again become the victim of the panopticon of automated sprinklers, whose watering paths frequently fly carelessly in the face of major pedestrian thruways. This 10 a.m. shower is emblematic of something larger on our campus: a strange grass fetish.
Singhal: Colleges are Small Communist States
(08/08/25 8:05am)
Once you are enrolled in a college and have paid your fees for the term, you are more or less trapped. Aside from transferring or dropping out, you have little freedom to engage with alternatives beyond the college, and your money has no power to incentivize change within the institution. A college acts like a business in how it takes money, then acts as a communist state in how it delivers its services.
Moyse: We are Losing the Ability to Believe in Impossible Things
(08/08/25 8:15am)
If you ever walk around Hanover on Friday afternoons, you’re probably well aware of the group of local Upper Valley residents that collect on the sidewalks at the four way intersection between Wheelock Street and Main Street. There’s usually about 30-40 of them, and they stand quietly with a variety of anti-Trump signs. For a podcast that I am making for a class, my groupmates and I visited last week’s protests and talked to the leader of the protests as well as a handful of participants. Dartmouth students urgently need to hear what they told us in an hour and a half of conversations.
McKee: Dartmouth’s Affiliated Alumni Groups Should Vocally Support Protesters and Divestment for Palestinian Liberation
(08/08/25 8:10am)
The 40th anniversary all-class reunion of DGALA — the College’s LGBTQIA+ alumni association — at the end of July was my first time returning to Dartmouth since I graduated in 2015. One of the primary reasons that I wanted to attend this reunion was to advocate for increased support for student protesters and Dartmouth Divest for Palestine from DGALA. Like the other affiliated alumni associations, DGALA signed onto a joint letter sent to Dartmouth senior leadership on May 17, 2024 denouncing the College’s policing of student and community protesters, which was timely and needed.
Alsheikh: Dartmouth, End Kalaniyot
(08/01/25 8:05am)
In December 2024, Dartmouth joined the Kalaniyot program, a network of American and Israeli universities who partner together for two goals: to make American college campuses less hostile to Israel and deepen research ties. Once funding is secured, the Dartmouth program aims to offer post-doctoral fellowships, sabbatical funding and opportunities for collaborative research projects in the sciences between Dartmouth faculty and Israeli researchers.
Kluger: Against Undergraduate Journals
(08/01/25 8:20am)
I once agreed to eat lunch with a friend and he sent me a Google Calendar invite. I cancelled because of it. Since when does enjoying a meal follow the drumbeat of a business schedule? The answer is: since Dartmouth students have become so busy. Meetings, post-grad applications, clubs, homework, lab, drinking, scrolling TikTok — there is too much to do.
Montalbano: Conditioned Against Air Conditioning
(07/25/25 8:10am)
In yet another display of Dartmouth’s courageous commitment to fiscal discipline, the College opted to open up Sarner Underground as an air-conditioned sleep space to the student body this summer for a single week from July 15 to July 18. Though it is noble of them to provide such a space in this year’s sweltering weather, I am neither a member of ROTC nor a soldier on the front lines of the Great War, so I find these temporary accommodations less than preferable at a school endowed with more money than the Gross Domestic Product of Lichtenstein.
Moyse: It’s the Rapture, and We Feel Fine
(07/25/25 8:05am)
Summer weather in New Hampshire is pretty much perfect. With the exception of the recent heatwave, it’s sunny and just warm enough to jump in the river, but not too hot that you can’t sit outside for hours enjoying the greenery. The “Dartmouth bubble” is a well-known phenomenon, but in summer it seems to transform into a strong plastic shield. You can still look at everything going on in the world, but it seems almost impossible to touch — and it seems as though none of it can touch you. There’s a heavy miasma that coats everyone in a “we’ll handle it later” mentality. Yet at some point, this apathy becomes absurd in the face of our world.
Taneja: We Need an International Trustee
(07/18/25 8:05am)
Dartmouth needs a place reserved for an international member on the Board of Trustees. By international, I don’t mean a child of immigrants or a naturalized U.S. citizen. For the purposes of this article, I don’t mean anyone from the Anglo-Western world either. I am talking about people who have been through the daunting process of leaving their home country and crossing linguistic and cultural boundaries to seek an education in the States, but who choose to ultimately return to their countries of origin or settle away from the United States. This, I believe, is where a school like Dartmouth’s calling truly lies — not in contributing to global brain drain or fueling the American corporate machine, but instead creating a class of exceptional individuals who embody “a sense of responsibility for each other and for the broader world,” as outlined in the College’s mission statement. I believe that having an international Trustee is not only symbolically important, but also a strategic imperative to pursue these aims.
Nelson: Dartmouth must do more to integrate AI into the classroom
(07/18/25 8:00am)
Artificial intelligence is an issue that lingers quietly at the back of our minds, an unspoken discomfort that many of us carry. As college students, we have experienced the advent of artificial intelligence models and witnessed the breathtaking pace at which they have advanced. Some of us may have benefited from these large language models’ impressive talent for completing assignments. But beneath the convenience lies the growing anxiety that artificial intelligence will reshape societies and markets in ways that we do not yet understand. Dartmouth must more proactively integrate AI into the classroom.
Roy: Dartmouth Should Allow Harvard’s International Students to Continue Their Studies With Us
(07/11/25 12:18pm)
In June, the Trump administration barred foreign students from attending the institution. However, on June 20, the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts indefinitely blocked the Trump administration’s order. While the decision does secure the status of Harvard’s international students for the time being, the fact that this decision does not come from the Supreme Court leaves them hanging by a thread. In the unfortunate yet plausible event that the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Trump administration, other Ivy League institutions should come forward and admit these students. Dartmouth should lead the charge.
Paul: Dear Financial Aid Office, Thank You for Failing Us
(07/11/25 8:20am)
I would never have thought that I could feel the slightest bit of embarrassment for receiving financial aid. In fact, I don’t think anyone should feel that way when working towards a four-year degree at an Ivy League institution.
Moyse: Do Your Readings
(07/04/25 8:15am)
Class is in 20 minutes, and the syllabus says to read a 40-page research paper, a chapter of a book or some crazy long piece of text. There’s no way the reading is going to get done in time for class. Life got in the way. Maybe you look up a summary, maybe ChatGPT it, then just let others do the heavy lifting in the class discussion. Or, you try to get some participation credit and say something vague as you try to read your professor’s poker face while wondering whether they can tell you haven’t read it.
Montalbano: The Necessity of Foreign Students: A Successful Experiment
(07/04/25 8:11am)
In May, President Donald Trump announced his decision to bar international students from attending Harvard University, which came after the university refused to comply with policy changes demanded by the president. The order preventing Harvard from enrolling international students marked an escalation in a saga that has pitted the Trump administration against numerous private, elite universities across the country. These attacks are misguided policies that fail to recognize the importance of international students, not only to the universities that they attend, but also to the United States.
