It’s midnight on a Wednesday, and someone wants to play a game of pong. They enter a basement that reeks of sweat and musk, where brothers are cracking open and sipping the amber runoff from an infamous blue can.
Walking across the Green on an unusually sunny day during an otherwise bleak Hanover spring, you’ll see armies of students playing spikeball and hacky sack, kicking soccer balls and throwing footballs and sitting on blankets with friends. You’ll also notice clusters of students eating from Collis paper bowls with plastic utensils and cups — containers that, by the end of the afternoon, are stuffed into or stacked precariously on top of overflowing trash cans.
This past weekend, Dartmouth hosted its annual Green Key music festival, headlined by the band Grouplove. While the celebrations take place over just a few days, the weekend is the result of months of extensive planning by the Programming Board and campus organizations such as Phi Delta Alpha fraternity, which hosts its annual Block Party before the Programming Board’s mainstage concert.
In the days before they took the Green Key stage, members of the student band Avalanche kept a light atmosphere in the practice room as they riffed off of each other. Members threw out ideas for songs to cover, offered advice about each other’s technique and cracked jokes before starting up on their setlist. The pressure of opening for one of Dartmouth’s biggest events seemed not to be a burden.
In a January op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, College president Sian Leah Beilock argued that American higher education faces a “trust problem.” She wrote that colleges can be “too ideological” and students are often taught “what rather than how to think.” Her arguments are a response to a question faced by many elite universities across the country: What is, after all, the point of higher education?
On May 8 and 9, Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra and the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble presented “Firebird,” a simulcast performance of Russian composer Igor Stravinsky’s “The Firebird,” a 1910 ballet. The DSO performed live in Spaulding Auditorium in the Hopkins Center for the Arts, while a projection of the dance ensemble played behind the musicians. In the Daryl Roth Studio Theater, the dance ensemble performed to a live audio feed of the orchestra.

The Dartmouth women’s soccer team had a historic season this year, defeating the top-seeded Princeton Tigers to win the Ivy League Championship on Nov. 9, 2025 and securing the Big Green a spot in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship for the first time since 2005. The win follows a 2024-25 season in which the team won just one Ivy League game. In just one year, the Big Green went from last in the Ivy League to conference champions.
On March 21, Men’s ice hockey won the Eastern College Athletic Conference championship for the first time in program history.

Nearly a century ago, a man with no graduate degree adopted the “Dr.” prefix for himself. Today, graduates of Dartmouth’s medical school bearing his name realize that dream as they go on to become very professional doctors.
Dear readers, revelers, creatures of the Green,
Back in October 2025, I wrote a column about Evergreen AI in which I expressed concerns about student safety and the ability of an artificial intelligence to provide emotional support to Dartmouth students. When I wrote the column, I hadn’t even considered the labor implications of training Evergreen, and it seems that those in charge of the program have not either.

Pavcnik — who has served as interim dean of arts and sciences since January 2025 — will assume the role on July 1.
In the last few years, artificial intelligence has consumed education. Teachers have turned to AI to craft curricula, plan lessons and generate exam questions. Students have used AI to complete problem sets, generate essays and code websites. In K-12 classrooms across the U.S., 85% of teachers and 86% of students reported using AI in the 2024-2025 school year. In less than a decade, AI has transformed from a novelty into a default, raising concerns about educational reform to ensure the preservation of critical thinking and logic within our academic system.
