On Oct. 6, the fifth annual Omondi Obura Peak Bag raised approximately $35,000 for Campus Connect, according to Steve Cook ’88. Peak Bag, a mental health awareness event, was created by the Class of 1988 to honor former lightweight rower Omondi Obura ’88, who died by suicide in 1989. The event — organized by the Peak Bag Fund — encourages participants to complete an outdoor activity of choice, such as a walk, hike, swim or paddle, according to the Peak Bag website.

Sunrise last Monday found me summiting Holt’s Ledge, drenched from a predawn rainstorm, shivering and about 37 miles into the Dartmouth Fifty — a 57-mile, 31 hour nonstop hike from Moosilauke Ravine Lodge to Hanover. A few minutes later, I sat on the side of the trail and closed my eyes, wishing fervently that when I opened them again I would find myself wrapped in a blanket in my bed, instead of sleep-deprived and with fifteen miles left to trudge.

This term, I arrived on campus early, which is probably — potential employers, please stop reading here — one of only a handful of times I’ve ever been early to anything in my life.

A few days ago, I decided that I would write this week’s Editor’s Note about trying to slow down and pay more attention to my surroundings. Mere hours ago, I was out on a run and, in a cruel display of irony, my advice came back to haunt me. For a moment, I stopped paying attention to the road beneath my feet and started mentally cataloging my to-do list. I promptly tripped and scraped my knee, hand and elbow, leaving me to run the last mile back to campus covered in blood and extremely upset.

After being away from campus for three months on summer break, I drove up West Wheelock Street and noticed an unusual abundance of green-netted fences. I turned to my left and realized something was off — Collis Center and Robinson Hall were almost completely obstructed from view.

I am writing to inform you of my intent to de-pledge Beta Alpha Omega fraternity. I can no longer be part of an institution that has contributed to so much physical and emotional harm, including death. I do not take this decision lightly and it was a difficult one for me to make, but I know that it is the correct decision.

While walking down Main Street in Hanover on a sunny summer day, the array of sweets in the window of My Brigadeiro caught my eye. For the last two years, I had only heard rave reviews about the café, but I had never ventured inside. Something about the sunlight hitting the glistening croissants on this particular day finally drew me in.

Dartmouth Cemetery trustee Petra Sergent plays a crucial role in maintaining the cemetery’s headstones. Established in 1771 by Eleazar Wheelock, the Dartmouth Cemetery, also known as the Town of Hanover Cemetery, was maintained by the Dartmouth Cemetery Association from 1845 to 1943, according to Dartmouth News. In 1943, the Association ran out of funds and signed the deed to the Town of Hanover, who has managed the grounds since. Every other week in the spring and summer, Sergent — also a member of the Dartmouth Cemetery Conservation Group, formed in 2022 for headstone cleaning and preservation — ventures to the cemetery for maintenance. The Dartmouth sat down with Sergent to discuss the DCCG, the cemetery’s history and the lives of those buried on campus.

In 2021 — the summer before his senior year at Dartmouth — Massachusetts native Ben Rice ’22 had the opportunity to play for his favorite childhood team, when the New York Yankees drafted him in the 12th round as the 363rd overall pick. Despite missing the 2020 and 2021 College seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rice had impressed the Pinstripers when he played for the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod League in 2021. On June 17, Yankees starting first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the 60-day injured list with a fractured radial neck and right arm. With a roster spot open, Rice, who was normally a catcher in the minors, took Rizzo’s position to fill the Yankees’ hole. Rice is currently ranked in the twelve spot in the Yankees’ farm system, which is the highest rank a catcher or infielder can have. The Dartmouth spoke with Rice after he faced the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays.

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.

This past spring, I was lucky enough to be in Rome on the Art History Foreign Study Program. I explored the city, spent hours in museums and traveled across Italy on weekends with the 14 other Dartmouth students who were a part of the program. Dartmouth became a distant memory and Hanover a dot on a continent an ocean away. During prior on-campus terms, as much as I loved trips to the Skiway and chatting with my friends in the Collis Center for Student Life, Dartmouth’s insular nature had become suffocating. To preserve my waning love for Hanover, I needed to leave and experience something different.
