At a May 8 event hosted by the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy, New York University law professor Maggie Blackhawk discussed the centrality of American colonialism and Native American history to legal understandings of the United States Constitution.
“If every person on earth put their biggest problem in a hat,” I asked my friend, expecting a good conversation, “would you keep yours or draw a new one?”
The Dartmouth has published opinions since 1799. In that time, the section has served as a forum for the defining debates for each generation of students — on war, on civil rights, on the obligations of an elite institution to the world beyond its gates — precisely because we have understood, at our best, that ideas untested by opposition are not ideas at all, but assumptions in fancy clothing. In 1970, when this campus was convulsed by the debate over ROTC and the Vietnam War, these pages published arguments from every corner of the political spectrum, not because the Editorial Board agreed with all of them, but because it understood that the argument itself was the point. We have, at various moments in our history, been that kind of publication. Today, we are no longer at our best.
I’m incredibly lucky to have found my passion at a young age. It was pretty simple: At around the age of eight, I proclaimed to my parents and teacher that I was drafting my first book. Even at that age, I had no illusions about the brutality of the publishing world. I’d probably have to finish two, maybe even three, hard-fought drafts before inevitably submitting to the slush pile at Penguin Random House – the publisher of “The Phantom Tollbooth,” my favorite book at the time – and signing a six-figure, upmarket debut deal.
A few days ago, during a lull in my lab experiments, I took the elevator up two floors to see one of Dartmouth’s corpse flowers, “Morphy,” which finally bloomed. Posters advertising the event had been multiplying in the hallways, taped crookedly between notices about seminars and safety trainings until they began to feel less like announcements and more like a quiet insistence that something was happening just above me that I was supposed to notice. I had been moving through the building on autopilot for weeks, but this was a nice change of pace.
Dear Freak of the Week,
Course election season always sparks a background stress. The courses that you take each term have the potential to make or break an entire 10 weeks. I don’t know if I’ve ever been fully satisfied with what I’ve taken in any given term.
When I was 10 years old, my favorite place in the entire world was under a blanket fort, where I would read for hours on end. To my mother’s dismay, I would meticulously rearrange the living room to make space for my pillows and books in between the couch and ottoman. I was lost to a world that only words on a page could bring.

Around 1,000 students, faculty, family members and other community members attended to celebrate Pacific Islander culture with performances, lei-making and Hawaiian food, according to Hōkūpa`a co-president Chase Kamikawa ’26.
Eli Moyse ’27 is right about one thing: Learning is inconvenient. What is even more inconvenient, though, is changing how we learn, and reckoning with what is still worth learning in the first place.
The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program annually recognizes 161 graduating high school seniors from a nationwide class of roughly 3.9 million students and is widely regarded as one of the country’s highest academic honors. I was selected as a 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholar. Below is the letter that I sent to U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, when I returned the medal that accompanied the award because I could not, in good conscience, continue to keep an honor conferred in the name of Donald Trump. The letter has been minorly edited according to The Dartmouth’s style guide.
