Economics professor Douglas Irwin was selected as the lecturer for the 23rd annual Ohlin Lectures, a two-day lecture series at the Stockholm School of Economics in Stockholm, Sweden, according to a College press release. The Ohlin Lectures, which will take place in September, are compiled into a book that is published annually by The MIT Press. Irwin's lectures "Trade Policy Disaster: Lessons from the 1930s" will focus on the spread of Depression-era protectionist trade policies, specifically examining countries' decisions to leave the gold standard, according to the release. "One lesson for today is that, because most countries have independent monetary policies and flexible exchange rates, they don't need to resort to import barriers in response to an economic crisis," Irwin said in the release. The lectures are sponsored and funded by the Kjell and Mrta Beijer Foundation, according to the Stockholm School's website.

The College has decided to sell the Minary Conference Center, a waterfront property on Squam Lake in Holderness, N.H., according to Paul Olsen, Dartmouth's director of real estate. The decision was made in order to "better concentrate [the College's] resources," Olsen said in an interview with The Dartmouth. The center which was originally donated to the College in 1970 by founder of CBS Broadcasting William Paley has since been used by various members of the Dartmouth community. The Minary Center is occupied by faculty members, the Board of Trustees and the campus administration for about 11 or 12 percent of the year and occupied by other groups for around 15 percent of the year, Olsen said. According to Olsen, the "nice" but not "essential" center was not profitable. The Minary Center is currently on the market for $9 million and the College has held several showings of the property thus far. Olsen said he believes that there is still a market for the property despite the economic downturn and that he expects an individual to purchase the center. The reaction on campus to the decision to sell the Minary Center has generally been understanding, Olsen said.

You watched (perhaps for the first time) New England fall fade into winter, winter bloom into spring, spring heat up into summer (08X!) and summer turn into fall. College President James Wright stepped down and Jim Yong Kim took charge, Lone Pine closed and One Wheelock opened, friends came and went, as did classes, majors, professors and dorm rooms some changes more welcome than others. Outside of your classes, Dartmouth has taught you how to face change with confidence and conviction. If Dartmouth teaches us nothing else, the constant flux associated with the D Plan prepares us for the numerous changes we will face after we leave this place. If change is the only constant, Dartmouth kids are sure to rock it in the real world.
