When philosophy professor Ann Bumpus accepted a position at the College in 1991, she expected to be in Hanover for only a year. Twenty-six years later, Bumpus continues to teach popular classes in the philosophy, writing and women’s, gender and sexuality studies departments. Bumpus earned a doctorate in philosophy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a B.A. from Union College. With a primary research interest in reproductive rights, specifically in designer babies, Bumpus enjoys learning about new reproductive technologies and incorporating the subsequent ethical questions into her teaching. This term, she is teaching two Writing 5 classes, one focusing on human cloning and the other on the death penalty.
In addition to freshmen running around the bonfire, this upcoming weekend will present several thrilling athletic matchups that show off Dartmouth’s intense Ivy League rivalries. Beyond celebrating alumni returning to campus, Homecoming is also a time to showcase Big Green pride, both new and ageless, across the College’s many athletic disciplines. Here are some of the games to attend this weekend and the histories behind the matchups.

Baseball fans love to bring up the lack of a clock in baseball. No matter what happens in the first inning, you have to record all 27 outs to win the game. The difference between this and say, a 60-minute football game, is subtler than it might seem. In football, a big hit might set a tone that carries a team through all four quarters. An early lead of just two touchdowns may quickly seem insurmountable for the opposing side. No matter how much time is on the clock, momentum is always critical in sports with time limits. One takeaway can completely shift the complexion of a game, and that shift can last for the game’s duration.

It was only last fall when Tony Choi ’16 followed through on his dream to form a powerlifting club at Dartmouth. Despite its humble beginnings, the club accomplished extraordinary feats in its first year, sending nine students to a regional competition in Brooklyn, New York and later sending five to compete at the USA Powerlifting Collegiate National Championship in Providence, Rhode Island held on April 14 to 16.
Growing up, every child who has ever played a sport has admired an older or professional player. While few ever meet their idols, even fewer have the opportunity to play for them. Zoë Leonard ’19, however, is one of the few playing for her childhood idol Tara Hittle, an assistant coach for the women’s volleyball team.
The men’s soccer team is the only varsity team at Dartmouth to achieve back-to-back Ivy League titles in the past few years. But even that claim might somehow understate the program’s successes when considering the critical role the freshman class played in both championship seasons.
The Beginning of a New Era

I love that sports and heavy drinking traditionally go together really well. No, I’m not talking about the type of drinking Dartmouth` students associate with heavy drinking (i.e. Keystone in a fraternity basement).

The Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Engagement at Dartmouth will host its first event this weekend, a conference titled “The Sciences, The Humanities, The Future.”
