At Dartmouth, the end of the term waits for no one. I’m already gearing up for the last push of sleepless nights, treks to late night with equally exhausted friends and hours hunched over my laptop, squinting through old glasses because I’ve had enough with contacts. As much as I dread the end-of-term grind, this spring has surprised me with a genuine love for life on campus.
At dusk on Saturday, I lay on my quilted duvet, listening to the droning of my fan and infrequent conversations on the road below my window. Last week, I endured the kind of stress that numbs you, that makes it hard to believe the stressors are trivial. But I made it to the weekend, to a moment of stillness in the constant turmoil of the Dartmouth bubble.
Last Wednesday, I found a fresh bouquet of lilies in my dorm hall’s trash can. I’m not one to dumpster dive, but the flowers caught my eye, unharmed despite their haphazard placement in the bin. Armed with a vase, an empty San Pellegrino bottle —my second, makeshift vase — and a packet of plant food, I got to work separating the dying blossoms from the newer ones. I was relieved to have a simple task to quiet the constant thoughts of class, clubs and work, even as the clock struck one in the morning.
Welcome to Week 1, Mirror! It’s Aditi.
In a 2021 AMC Theatres promotional campaign, actress Nicole Kidman struts into a movie theater wearing a pantsuit and heels, announcing that “we come to this place for magic.”
Many students might wonder what to do in the Upper Valley during the winter. While some of us hit the Dartmouth Skiway to get in a few weekend runs, or skate with friends on Occom Pond, those classic seasonal options can get repetitive. There’s no denying that some of New England’s charm wears off when the fall foliage is long gone and it’s too cold to swim in the Connecticut River. As a native of the Northeast, I’ve found that making the most of these chillier months often requires some creativity. So, if you’re looking for more ways to enjoy the cold this term, I recommend that you find a car, turn on your best playlist and head 30 minutes west to Woodstock, Vt., for a not-so-hidden gem: Billings Farm and Museum.
When you walk into Rollins Chapel, it may be easy to miss the pipe organ located just past the entrance, flush against the chapel’s wall. It’s smoothly integrated into the architecture, built for the space by Austin Organs Inc. in the 1960s, according to College Chaplain and Tucker Center director Rev. Nancy Vogele ’85. Though its location is inconspicuous, the instrument is grand: it consists of 75 ranks — or sets of pipes — three manuals, or hand-operated keyboards, and a set of pedalboards, which are foot-operated.
With the start of a new school year, the Class of 2025 is counting down to the day that they’ve worked towards for the last four years: Commencement. The dream of celebrating with peers and parents, diploma in hand, is what keeps many of us going during a particularly tough week studying on third floor Berry. Graduating from an institution like Dartmouth is an accomplishment on its own, but the cherry on top often comes in the form of a famed Commencement Day speaker crediting the senior class’s successes.
On Aug. 3, Dartmouth varsity women’s rowing member Áine Ley ’26 was selected to join the U.S. Rowing Under 23 team after qualifying at the U.S. Rowing Under 23 Selection Camp in July. Ley will now represent the United States at the 2024 World Rowing Under 23 Championships, set to take place from Aug. 18 to 25 in St. Catherines, Ontario. Ley’s success at the camp — held in Hanover, N.H. from July 10 to July 31 — makes her the first Dartmouth women’s collegiate rower to compete at Worlds with the U23 team in more than a decade, according to Ley. The Dartmouth sat down with Ley to discuss her experience at the U23 camp, her qualification for the national team and her future with Dartmouth rowing.
On July 25, the Hopkins Center for the Arts closed out its Summer Concert Series with an outdoor performance by the Pedro Giraudo Quartet — a New York City-based ensemble that fuses Argentine tango with jazz and classical tones.
Dartmouth’s sailing boathouse on Mascoma Lake, the varsity women’s and open sailing teams’ primary facility, is under construction. The project, which will replace the preexisting 70-year-old Allen Boathouse, began this summer and is set to finish in September or October, according to athletics director Mike Harrity.
On June 23, 12 Dartmouth Club Triathlon Team members and four alumni competed in the Cohasset Triathlon, a sprint triathlon race hosted annually in Cohasset, Mass. Despite the rainy conditions, all 16 Dartmouth participants successfully completed the race, while three finished on the podium in their age groups.
This summer, I let my housing situation be determined by fate. After being off campus for two terms in a row, I took a chance and luckily received an air-conditioned room on campus.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting for the latest season of “Bridgerton” for two years, one month and 21 days. The series, co-produced by Netflix and Shondaland, probably needs no introduction, given that season three has enjoyed six consecutive weeks on Netflix’s top 10 list, with five weeks in the number one seat.
As the warm September sun eases and fall frosts set in, the Upper Valley remains vibrant: Riverview Farm’s rainbow dahlias are still vivid, and carved pumpkins scatter the campus with pops of bright orange. As the leaves change with the arrival of fall, so too does Dartmouth.
Every spring, students crowd on Gold Coast Lawn, humidity and all, to see the headlining act for Green Key Weekend. The excitement on campus is so infectious that some even skip classes to get the weekend started just a little sooner. Though Green Key has other events that make the weekend big — activities in Collis Center, free food trucks and performances by student bands— the Friday night concert is definitely the highlight. Green Key, and other events throughout the year, are organized by the Programming Board, a student-run organization that works to create inclusive social and entertainment events on campus, according to their website.
Being an undergraduate adviser takes a special kind of heroism. Imagine in a common room or basement, leading students in icebreakers or doling out instructions, only to receive blank stares and awkward silence back from their residents: This is a typical moment for many UGAs. But besides the more mundane moments, UGAs have the important responsibility to mentor and care for their residents while also enforcing College policies when trouble arises. This balance can be complicated, some UGAs said.
“I feel like there are a few broad paths you can [take] out of college: med school, law school, grad school for academia or business.”
On May 5, the Digital Arts Leadership and Innovation Lab celebrated its ten-year anniversary. Three computer science department faculty members — professor Lorie Loeb, professor Daniel Rockmore and staff member Tim Tregubov — founded the organization in 2013 to provide an opportunity for students to gain first-hand experience working on projects that could have real-world impact, according to Loeb.
“Are you guys ’27s?” a girl brightly asked me and the two ’27s I was showing around, as we stood in a large pack of unfamiliar faces.
