As College President James Wright likes to explain whenever the opportunity arises, every student at the College, regardless of how much he or she -- or their parents, most likely -- pays to attend Dartmouth, is on financial aid. The logic of his assertion, recently made in a 2003 address to the General Faculty, is pretty straightforward: "Full" tuition (i.e. just the portion paid for classes) is in the neighborhood of $30,000 per year. The cost of educating one student, in class, for one year (assumed to be three academic terms), is between $60,000 and $65,000. So in the best case scenario -- a student paying every dime asked for by the College -- that student is still only covering about 50 percent of his tuition. The balance of the cost is covered by generous alumni contributions to the Annual Fund, a fact that far too many students take for granted, without so much as a simple word of thanks.
In perusing the full election results from New Hampshire, I stumbled upon an incredibly disturbing fact: Although incumbent Republican Sen. Judd Gregg was handily re-elected (indeed, he carried all but eight of the 237 precincts in the state), he lost by nearly a 20-point margin in Hanover. Ours was the only town in which he lost to a 96-year-old grandmother who had never before held public office, by more than eight percentage points.
