Last spring, I sat at a circular table at Foco Late Night alongside around 15 of my peers in the Class of 2028. There, we watched two of our friends, one Christian and one atheist, debate a topic deeper than what most of our fellow students at the dining hall were discussing that evening: the existence of God.
On April 14, a temporary student art installation composed of 20 strips of molding beef jerky arranged in the shape of a smiling face was removed from the dedication wall of the Black Family Visual Arts Center by the artists at the direction of studio art department chair Tricia Treacy.
On May 12, Hanover residents will vote on three zoning amendments at the annual town meeting. The town’s planning, zoning and codes department is sponsoring two of the amendments on the ballot: Article 2 refines last year’s “house-scale residential overlay” amendment by limiting the size of new multi-unit developments, while Article 3 updates the town’s accessory dwelling unit rules for secondary residential buildings, such as garage apartments, to ensure ADUs match the original homes. If passed, Article 7 — which was brought by a resident petition and not sponsored by the planning, zoning and codes department — would rescind the zoning reforms passed by the town in 2025 by banning multi-unit buildings in certain residential zones.
On Monday, Dartmouth welcomed more than 600 admitted students from the Class of 2030 and their families to campus for the fourth annual Dimensions program since its return in 2023 following the COVID pandemic. The day, the first of two program runs, featured academic panels, campus traditions and student-led events designed to give admitted students a feel for life in Hanover.
Choosing a first date spot in Hanover sounds like it should be easy. The town is 50 square miles, and each establishment has a distinct cuisine. But somehow, the decision carries an unreasonable amount of weight. Pick wrong, and you risk an awkward hour followed by three years of making uncomfortable eye contact in Foco and on the Green. Pick right, and you might just secure a second date, a formal invite or at least a pleasant memory.
The interview starts with parking tickets.
It snowed on Monday, which was also Dimensions — Dartmouth’s admitted students day. Snow isn’t ideal on any spring day, but it’s particularly devastating on the one day meant to showcase all the fun and beauty campus has to offer. I was halfway across the Green, head down, getting whipped around by the icy wind as I made my way toward the Life Sciences Center. The snow came down in quick, stinging bursts, more like ice pellets than anything you could romanticize. Around me, prospective students and their parents moved more slowly, pausing to look up at buildings, to take pictures, to imagine.
Dear Freak of the Week,
To the Dartmouth Board of Trustees, President Beilock and the Dartmouth Community:
On April 17, President Donald Trump spoke at Turning Point USA’s “Build the Red Wall” rally in Phoenix, an event designed to energize the Republican base for the midterm elections and marketed as proof of youthful conservative momentum. News coverage from the event described visible empty seats and a crowd older than advertised.
New York Times opinion columnist and host of “The Ezra Klein Show” Ezra Klein said Democrats must treat “communicating with the American people” as “part of democracy” in the next election cycle during an event hosted by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy on April 16. The event also featured Ford Foundation president Heather Gerken, who formerly served as the dean of Yale Law School. The Ford Foundation is a non-profit that aims “to reduce poverty and injustice, strengthen democratic values, promote international cooperation, and advance human achievement,” according to their website. It has one of the largest private endowments in the United States.
As part of The Dartmouth’s coverage of the upcoming 2026 midterm and gubernatorial elections, the paper is publishing an interview series, “A Sit-Down with The Dartmouth,” featuring in-depth conversations with candidates for state-wide and New Hampshire district positions.
On April 19, at the third weekly Dartmouth Student Government meeting of the spring term, the Senate discussed gym extensions for graduating seniors, a program to consolidate course syllabi in a single database and funding for Dartmouth’s chapter of women’s self-defense organization WenDo.
On April 7, artificial intelligence lab Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, a powerful new large-language model which the company claims has found “thousands of high-severity vulnerabilities” across the internet. Anthropic announced that it would not publicly release the model due to security concerns and is forming a consortium of large tech companies — called Project Glasswing — which will use Mythos to patch vulnerabilities in critical software.
Faculty, alumni, students and members of the Upper Valley community gathered together in Sanborn Library on April 15 to hear readings of Robert Frost poems. While attendees were invited to read their favorite Frost poems, the celebration centered on seventh grade students from Crossroads Academy in Lyme, N.H., each of whom read a poem they had selected.
A title like “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” invites multiple questions. For one, who is Lee Cronin? Why is his name attached to the film? How, if at all, is this installment related to “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise, “The Mummy” starring Brendan Fraser or any of the other multitudinous bandage-wrapped, Egyptian-themed entries which bear the name?
Brett MacConnell, a former assistant coach at Princeton University and Stanford University, has joined the Big Green as the new head coach of men’s basketball. He replaces David McLaughlin’s decade-long tenure at the helm, excited to right the ship after a disappointing 11-16 winter season. MacConnell’s coaching career began at Delaware Valley University in 2008 before he eventually joined the Princeton Tigers in 2012. He spent last season in Palo Alto coaching for the Stanford Cardinals, and MacConnell will take on his first head coaching role at Dartmouth.
Luke Haymes ’26 signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs after the 2024-2025 season. At Dartmouth, he was a member of the men’s ice hockey team where he led the team with 36 points during his sophomore year. Despite starting his junior season off with an injury, he had five multi-point games and scored the game winning point on two occasions.
The Dartmouth has restructured its editorial board.
The Black Family Visual Arts Center, which honors alleged child sex offender Leon Black ’73, a close colleague of Jeffrey Epstein, must be renamed. The Dartmouth Editorial Board offers the following two-part letter addressing Leon Black, College President Sian Leah Beilock and the Board of Trustees, calling on them to rename BVAC immediately.
