Football in Hanover? No joke, it really does exist as Dartmouth plays their first home game of the season when they entertain Cornell tomorrow at noon. The game is the second big Ivy League test for the Big Green in the first three weeks as Cornell arrives at Memorial Field with a lot of question marks but a lot of talent as well. Dartmouth enters the game 2-0 on a 19-game unbeaten streak but their last loss was by five points to Cornell in Hanover two years ago. Cornell brings a 1-1 record (1-0 Ivy) into the contest after losing in overtime to Colgate last weekend.
As two recent alumni of the college who had an opportunity to serve as President Freedman's student interns, we were both pleased and saddened by the announcement that he is stepping down from service at the end of the academic year. Those of us who have spoken with him, worked with him, heard his convocation speeches, or just read about him in The Dartmouth know him as a scholar, family man, dedicated leader, and above all, a sincere individual who has Dartmouth's short- and long-term interests at heart. As a result of these qualities, alumni sometimes describe him as a modern day "hero." As such, we'll miss his constant presence at the helm. Yet to understand what prompts our happiness, it's important to remember what he inherited. Ten years ago, the Dartmouth experience looked and felt different. At a critical crossroads in the 1980s, President Freedman dared to envision an environment rich with learning opportunities.

Jaws were frozen in disbelief. Fans stared so hard at the scoreboard in disbelief that the little electronic lights bore into their brains, continuing to blilnd their comprehension. Cornell 24, Dartmouth 19. A game Dartmouth should have won. The belief among the press and fans that the most storied program in Ivy League football was not to be a force in1995 did not matter to the disheartened athletes wearing green and white.
