I’ve been journaling a lot this summer. Not every day, and not with the intention of writing anything particularly poetic or put-together, but a lot. It’s mostly scattered thoughts — half-finished sentences, lists of things I’m trying to process, weirdly specific moments I don’t want to forget. It’s like the feeling of driving with the windows down after a long day, or hearing something someone said that hit a little too close. I journal in the times of the day when things slow down: late at night before bed, sitting in my parked car after a long drive or in the 20 minutes between class and Collis lunch when I need to get out of my head.

Long before she became President Donald Trump’s choice for United States assistant attorney general for the civil rights division, Harmeet Dhillon ’89 was a classical studies major and the editor-in-chief of The Dartmouth Review. Today, Dhillon is a Trump loyalist, the first Republican woman to hold her position within the Department of Justice and a key figure in the Trump administration’s campaign to freeze federal funding for universities on the alleged basis that they have inadequately addressed campus antisemitism.

In a new study, a group of archaeologists led by anthropology professor Madeleine McLeester found that from A.D. 1000 to 1600, farming was extensive among Native American communities at the Sixty Islands site in Wisconsin, complicating widely held notions in current archaeological theory. At Sixty Islands — which is the largest preserved ancestral native American cornfield in North America — McLeester and her team examined soil-building techniques, ridge maintenance and connections with nearby villages. McLeester spoke to The Dartmouth about her career and her ground-breaking study, which has garnered national attention in the New York Times.

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.

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.

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.

To be honest, I never put much thought into my sophomore summer living situation. I lived with one of my best friends during my sophomore year, so there was never a doubt in my mind that I would continue to live with her for sophomore summer, especially since our junior year D-Plans do not line up in the slightest. We knew that our dorm would be nice, and we were fairly content with our ways of life, so we never looked far beyond the College’s housing options.

When I sat down to watch the latest film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I felt long detached from it. Though once a diehard fan, I lost interest in following the convoluted multiversal plotlines, multiple miniseries and hosts of new characters following “Avengers: Endgame.” However, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” — a standalone film within the MCU — boasts a unique aesthetic, some good acting and strong themes despite featuring plenty of the typical “Marvel-isms.”

In recent months, Dartmouth has received attention in national media outlets as the sole Ivy League school to largely avoid the Trump administration’s renegotiation of federal funding: “How one Ivy League university avoided the president’s wrath,” declared The Economist on May 1. “How one Ivy League university has avoided Trump’s retribution so far,” published the New York Times on May 11.
