It’s 15 degrees outside, and stiff winds urge me not to make the trek from my house to the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center — but I hunker down, zip my calf-length puffer coat up past my chin and persist. Luckily, as soon as the elevator doors open to reveal the fourth floor, I’m hit with a blast of warm air. I drop my coat on the chair just outside the greenhouse and peer through the glass windows at the jungle that awaits me.

Just after sunset last Friday, I found myself alone on a path bordering the Dartmouth Skiway. On one side of the trail, a house down a steep hill glowed from all sides. Formations of ice covered the cliffside that lined the other and a thin frozen layer coated the ground. As I stood still, I could hear the ice moan and creak; it seemed to come alive when I looked at it for too long, breathing and shifting under my feet. Alone in the dark, it felt like staring a wild animal in the face.

My winterim looked like this — five hours wearing a tangle of wires and detectors to image my brain for research, four showings of “Wicked” in theaters, three Christmas dinners, two drinks at Purdue University’s most famous bar and one impending move. Make no mistake — the last item in this list occupied far more of my time than these other, albeit narratively compelling, anecdotes.

The New York City automat is not dead!

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.

There’s nothing like buying good quality, well-sourced clothes — a conscious effort in our current era of Shein hauls and Depop scammers. Luckily, in nearby Woodstock, Vt., lies a hidden gem: the vintage boutique Mahshu.

When discussing postgraduate plans with Dartmouth students, it can be surprising how often law school comes up as a potential next step. It seems that law school functions as somewhat of a catch-all for students pursuing a whole host of career paths. Unlike those interested in medical school or other specialized graduate programs, pre-law students can pursue virtually any academic interest during their undergraduate years and still be well-equipped to apply.

While many members of the Class of 2024 departed for new cities, jobs or schools after graduation, some have also chosen to remain right here in Hanover. Whether it’s working as fellows, interns or admissions officers, a number of recent graduates have found unique opportunities to explore their passions beyond the classroom, all while contributing to the Dartmouth community.

This week, like any week that I am tasked with writing the editor’s note, I’ve been looking for meaning in everything. Every third Tuesday is a game of how fast I can imbue an anecdote with importance, all while keeping one eye on a PDF I’m reading for my government seminar, the other on incoming edits for the week’s articles and my mind anywhere but the second floor of Robinson Hall.

As I sat in my home in New Zealand last fall, staring at the blank exchange application in front of me, I wondered what attending an American college would be like. Is it really how the movies make it out to be? Would there be Greek life and football games with roaring crowds? Scandalous Halloween costumes and beer pong? Out of the 120 different universities that my school, the University of Auckland, partners with for exchange terms, Dartmouth undeniably stood out to me. The allure of an isolated New England town, combined with the College’s liberal arts focus and traditional architecture, drew me to its campus. I believed these elements would lead to an immersive college experience, rich with community, history and tradition.

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has been a historically active one so far, with 11 hurricanes recorded — five of which measured over a Category Three, designated “major hurricanes” by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Welcome to week 8, Mirror. The combination of Homecoming weekend, the presidential election and the New York City Marathon — all of which somehow took place within the past week — have stirred up a strange cocktail of emotions within me, ranging from nostalgia to dread and everything in between. While I spent the better part of Election Day glued to the incremental shifts of The New York Times election forecast needle, I’m fairly confident that no one who reads this Editor’s Note is looking to me to provide political commentary — especially since this is the first presidential election in which I was old enough to vote.

Every time I exit my third-floor bedroom and walk out the front door of my sorority house, I pass the roughly 1,500 faces of former sorority members hanging in the hallways. On each floor of the house are annual composites — large, framed collections of photos of each active member in the chapter. As I brush my teeth in the morning or head upstairs after studying, I have developed a pastime of scanning the walls for fashion trends, fun hairstyles and familiar last names.

With only 24 hours in a day, sometimes students feel as though there isn’t enough time to accomplish their entire to-do lists. During especially hectic weeks filled with midterm and final exams, some may even feel like they cannot afford to stop working. This often results in burnout — when students get tired or overworked, they swear that they can feel their hair turning gray.

Erica Barks-Ruggles, the former U.S. ambassador to Rwanda, joined Dartmouth’s faculty this August as part of the Dickey Center for International Understanding’s Magro Family Distinguished Visitors in International Affairs program for the fall term. The program invites experts in international politics to give lectures or teach full courses at Dartmouth, according to the Dickey Center.
