After four years of reporting and editing your stories, I can’t believe the time has finally come to write mine. I spent more hours in The D’s offices than the library, FoCo, even my own room — first as a staff reporter, and last year as executive editor. I read hundreds of stories and interviews in my tenure, and it was through this nightly routine that I finally felt invested in Dartmouth. I read your harrowing tales of sexual assault, your efforts to start clubs, your complaints about DDS, your frustrations with the administration and your hopes and dreams. You expressed apathy, passion, excitement, distress, sarcasm, distaste — the list goes on. I learned so much about all of you, but I learned even more about me.

Dartmouth was ranked fourth on Newsweek's 2012 Most Rigorous Schools List, according to The Daily Beast. To rank the schools, Newsweek used selectivity, standardized test scores, student-to-faculty ratios and the College Prowler a website where students can rate their own colleges and provide illustrative anecdotes score out of 10 for the "workload manageability" at each of the schools. On the list, Columbia University was deemed most rigorous, and Princeton University, Yale University and Harvard University placed sixth, seventh and 17th, respectively.

A report by the Higher Education Funding Council for England has found that fewer scholars secure their first job at a university by age 30 than in 1995-6 and that the number of older academics at English universities has dramatically increased, Inside Higher Ed reported. The proportion of professors under 30 dropped from 14 percent to 8 percent over the past 15 years, and the proportion of professors over 60 increased to 9 percent from 5 percent, according to Inside Higher Ed. Experts believe the trend could be caused by increased financial concerns related to the recession, the elimination of England's default retirement age and increased funding for universities that allow professors to remain faculty members for longer periods of time, according to Inside Higher Ed. The concerning trend could be in part mitigated by creating more "exit routes" for older academics who still want to be involved in research, Inside Higher Ed reported. For example, "senior colleges" could give professors emeritus status and facilitate their research, according to Geoff Whitty, the former director of the Institute of Education of the University of London.

Many colleges release post-graduation job placement rates based on surveys with insufficient sample sizes, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. More than a third of colleges' reported placement rates in 2010 were based on responses from 50 percent or less of their graduates, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Job-placement data can also be unreliable because schools use different sets of polling standards, with some surveying students immediately following graduation and others tracking employment over several months, The Chronicle reported. Many schools count part-time and unpaid internships in their reports, according to The Chronicle. As of 2008, the federal government has required colleges to disclose placement rates to prospective students who wish to receive such information, yet standards for such reports vary substantially depending on regional standards, The Chronicle reported.

I think I may have given myself a little too much credit. But judging by the popularity of the river docks, mass blitzes inviting friends to go on hikes and an astonishing number of class offerings that involve the outdoors, it seems many members of the Class of 2014 have embraced Hanover's wild surroundings.

In a study published last month by the American Council on Education, American colleges and universities reported an increase in internationalization over the last three years, according to The New York Times. The study, "Mapping Internationalization on U.S. Campuses," looked at factors such as funding, degree requirements, curriculums, admissions, hiring policies and self-perception to assess the degree to which U.S. universities are incorporating international ideas into their strategic planning, The Times said. The study found a dramatic increase in the number of institutions that consider international background and experience when hiring faculty, up to 68 percent from 32 percent in 2006. This increase comes in spite of the fact that only 47 percent of those schools who reported having more of an international focus also reported an increase in spending in the area from five years ago, The Times reported. Despite the overall increase in internationalization, foreign language studies are decreasing, with only 37 percent of undergraduate students required to learn a foreign language to graduate, down from almost 53 percent in 2001, the Times reported.
