Sophomore summer — an iconic tradition in which students stay on campus and take classes during the summer following their sophomore year — is a unique part of the Dartmouth experience. While spending the summer away from schoolwork may seem normal to students at other institutions, when a Dartmouth student announces that they are opting out of sophomore summer by taking it “off,” they are typically met with a follow-up question: Why?

There’s nothing quite like starting your afternoon by getting thrown across a mat. Welcome to ASCL 61.10: Japanese Martial Arts, a course I’m taking this summer that meets twice a week in the classroom and twice on the mat — yet lingers in my muscles all week long.

If you asked me what I was scared of on a normal day, I would say that I have a terrible fear of falling. If you asked me what I’m scared of while I’m holding onto a rope swing and soaring over a lake, however, I would say that I love that feeling of weightlessness that courses through me as I plunge into the cold water.

Dear Freak of the Week,
(07/25/25 7:00am)
It’s week five of the term, and we’re now in the Dog Days of summer. I find myself waking up every morning groggy, still tired from the night out before. Cakey mascara stains my eyelashes and under eyes while my muscles ache from somehow walking over 15,000 steps the previous day — from class to the river to the dining hall, to up and down frat row in search of a party.

Sophomore summer has solidified for me that this is the Dartmouth I chose. The Dartmouth where my professors remember my name after the first day, where friends of friends flitz me to their house parties and where everyone I know happens to be at Late Night at the same time.

I’ve found myself walking more slowly lately. It isn’t a conscious choice. I think I just exist in less of a rush.

Dearest readers of Mirror,
(07/11/25 7:05am)
I’ve been hooking up with someone repeatedly this term who I’ve hooked up with in the past. I enjoy hanging out casually, but I’m worried the other person is more invested than I am. I don’t see it going anywhere in the long run. At what point should I stop seeing my former scheme?

A little goal of mine this summer is to explore every building on campus I’ve never been in before. Not just poke my head in, but actually be there, setting up camp with my laptop, drinking bad coffee in a forgotten lounge, watching the light move through unfamiliar windows. Dartmouth is tiny but still vast; I want to see how the campus feels when I let it surprise me.

My hands shake. Not dramatically, but persistently, a faint tremor humming through everything I do. It shows up in the obvious places first: holding a pen, threading a needle, pipetting in lab. But it also sneaks into moments I wouldn’t expect, when I’m reaching for a cup of water, or holding the steering wheel at a stoplight. My hands have always been this way, and it’s been long enough that it’s simply become part of me. When I fumble for something or knock a glass over, the explanation rises to my lips instantaneously: “Yeah, sorry, my hands are really shaky.”

I’m sitting at my desk in my messy room the morning I leave for sophomore summer. Soon, I won’t have to explain to my friends at home why I’ll be gone until August — and that no, poor academics aren’t the reason I’ll be in school this summer. I am required to be on campus! But I am excited about it!

As soon as senior spring began, just like me, my phone felt the weight of graduation. It’s held four years of memories: formals, Homecomings and debriefs on the couch. It’s seen me during Foco late night and early morning Collis porch sessions, through my brief stints in the capitol and my class in Berlin. It’s stored carefully posed and rushed photos alike, some with my best friends and others with people I no longer even wave to.

Fifty years ago was the last all-male, four-year graduating class. So, in this issue, the 182nd Directorate of The Dartmouth takes a look at women at the College. To start, we spoke to College President Sian Leah Beilock about recent turbulence in higher education and her role as Dartmouth’s first female president. Then, Production Executive Editor Kent Friel ’26 continued his history series and dove into the archive on coeducation at Dartmouth. Another news writer spoke to five graduating women of color to chronicle their stories. Another spoke to a Sexual Violence Prevention Project student leader — ten years since the group’s inception. Our data team checked the pulse of women on campus today and found that many problems persist: 91% of surveyed female students reported facing sexism during their time at Dartmouth. Another writer interviewed Judy Geer ’75 Th ’83, a transfer student to Dartmouth and the first woman to receive the annual honorary degree, awarded to a member of the 50 year reunion class.
