Video Recap: Fourth of July in Hanover

Filmed and edited by Alesandra Gonzales '27

Editor’s Note

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.”

Spike, volley and pickle! Summer sports underway

Temperatures may be getting warmer and campus emptier, but outdoor sports and recreation remain at the heart of Dartmouth’s campus every summer. Whether it be joining a spikeball game on the Green, leisurely tossing a frisbee on a frat lawn or competing in an intramural sport, classic summer sports have returned to Dartmouth.

Q&A with government professor Jeffrey Friedman on the Iranian nuclear program

On June 13, Israel launched a series of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, causing Iran to respond with a barrage of missile attacks on Israeli soil. A 12-day conflict between the two countries, which included American involvement, proceeded until a ceasefire entered into effect on June 25. The Dartmouth sat down with government professor Jeffrey Friedman, who specializes in foreign policy decision making, to discuss the Iranian nuclear program, the recent Israeli and American strikes and possible future developments.

‘It should be concerning to all of us’: After temporary email suspension, alumni group president says College has a trust issue

Last month, the Black Alumni of Dartmouth Association sent out an email to its mailing list of about 4,000 members disputing the College’s campus-wide email account of a May 28 sit-in at Parkhurst Hall. BADA raised a broader concern about a “steady erosion of trust within the Dartmouth community” and a “failure by the administration and trustees to engage in true community building.”

Two students found guilty of providing alcohol to underage people

On June 16, Matthew Catrambone ’26 and Samuel Terry ’26 were found guilty for providing alcohol to people under the age of 21 and were each fined $930 at Lebanon District Court, according to the Valley News. Catrambone pleaded guilty and Terry pleaded no contest. A no contest plea means that a defendant neither disputes their charge nor explicitly admits guilt, but allows the court to treat them as guilty when sentencing. 

‘28 Years Later’ is a strange, thrilling and strikingly original exercise in horror filmmaking

“28 Years Later” is the daring third installment in the post-apocalyptic horror franchise that includes “28 Days Later” and “28 Weeks Later.” The film sees the reunion of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, who collaborated on the original “28 Days Later” as well as the sci-fi thriller “Sunshine.” 

Katseye’s new album ‘Beautiful Chaos’ is unapologetically bold, dynamic and creative

Maybe you’ve seen them on your TikTok feed, dancing like the animations from Phineas and Ferb or dressing up as the Winx Club fairies for Halloween. Or maybe you’ve seen them competing on the hit Netflix talent competition reality show “Debut: The Dream Academy,” in which they tackled building full performances from scratch in just a few days. 

Moyse: Do Your Readings

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

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.

Maximizing Your Minutes: A Slippery Slope

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!

TTLG: Take a Picture, It’ll Last Longer

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. 

Editors’ Note

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. 

Q&A with College President Sian Leah Beilock

The Class of 2025 is capping off its time at Dartmouth at a complicated moment for universities. President Donald Trump has put the Ivy League in the national spotlight with his effort to cut federal funding and change aspects of higher education — most recently, attempting to bar Harvard University from enrolling international students. In some ways, Dartmouth has steered clear of the turmoil, the New York Times heralding the College as the “one Ivy League university [which] has avoided Trump’s retribution so far.” Still, over the past three months, Dartmouth’s community has engaged in discussions about the College’s role in the national political landscape. The Dartmouth sat down with College President Sian Leah Beilock to discuss these pressing issues and the graduating class.
