Despite the downturn in the national economy, Dartmouth alumni continue to show their loyalty with their wallets. College officials reported that while the average gift per alumnus is down this year, the number of alumni donating funds has increased.
For her latest project, one of Ireland's most internationally recognizable musicians decided to go back to her roots and record an album consisting largely of traditional Irish songs -- some generations old, some more recent, but all with a rich historical background. Sinead O'Connor had heard many of the songs for the first time in her childhood, from her father and in school.

The elections are over. Now we can breathe, but please do not take too deep a breath. The gusty political whirlwind is about to start anew. Fourteen months from now, New Hampshire will be the political hub for the 2004 presidential elections. We thought it a good idea to look at who might be in the 2004 political whirlwind right now. So we pored over the Democratic contenders: Daschle, Dean, Edwards, Gephardt, Kerry, Gore, Sharpton. One name stands out, or rather, does not stand out: Dean. Who is this fellow?
A much-debated topic in the recent election, N.H. Senator-elect John E. Sununu's commitment to education continues to be questioned by Democrats and watchdog groups.
Fewer Catholic '04s, '05s and '06s submitted optional religious affiliation forms than did students from previous classes, but campus religious leaders said that Catholic activity on campus is still strong.
Yale University's decision to subcontract service and maintenance work for a new research building has intensified already-heated tension surrounding stalled contract negotiations. This is the most recent flare-up in a long history of troubled labor relations at Yale.
The Association of American Medical Colleges, sponsor of the Medical College Admission Test, has decided to implement a new policy of "full disclosure" -- starting in April 2003, applicants will no longer have the option to withhold test scores from their applications to medical schools.
Dartmouth lost a valuable employee and a fierce patron of the arts in Georgia Croft, 65, who died in her home Saturday after a year and a half-long battle with lung cancer.
Like well-cooked meals and skyscrapers, good documentaries take on a life beyond their outward function: sometimes you just set out to tell a story and end up creating art.
On Saturday, the Dartmouth figure skating team placed second at the first eastern qualifying meet of the 2002-2003 collegiate season at the University of Delaware.
A successful fall season characterized by dedication, perseverance and heart came to an end for the Dartmouth sailing team as the Big Green sailors competed in championship regattas over the past two weekends.
The article "Colleges Find Diversity Is Not Just Numbers" in the Nov. 12 New York Times completely misses the point. First, the article -- which focuses on Dartmouth -- insinuates that the current administration has undertaken a radical program to snatch Dartmouth from the 1950s. Second, the article makes Dartmouth sound like a racist and backward institution where the diversity rehab programs have yet to disabuse students of their "isms." We contend that the necessary structures for integration, which the article was nominally about, exist on campus already in the form of DOC trips, freshman housing and the Greek system at large. Moreover, we could not expect the Times to capture the essence of campus social interactions in two days.
Alumni, students, faculty and administrators should take a second look at John Strayer's Nov. 6 letter, "Fundamental Questions." In it, Strayer questions the ability of the College to maintain itself as the premier liberal arts institution in the nation while simultaneously attempting to become a better research institution. The College seems to have cooled its attempts to rid the campus of single-sex social institutions, which need to be eliminated from campus as soon as possible. Fraternities have no reason for existence at Dartmouth. They are a relic of 19th century gender anxiety and now reinforce or even strengthen those anxieties. That said, Strayer is correct in stating that the questions surrounding the "Greek crisis" on campus have obscured most other aspects about the growth and health of the College. However, the administration has presented a much greater challenge to traditions with President James Wright's recent words.
Despite socially responsible investing movements led by faculty and students at schools around the country, decisions to invest in certain companies are often determined not by the degree of activism on campus, but by a college's status as a public or private institution.
It's a concept steeped in history: limiting investments to businesses that conform to one's particular ethical standards. Seventeenth-century Quakers avoided companies that conflicted with their religious beliefs, as did 19th century groups of Christian investors who shied away from firms that dealt in alcohol and pornography.
The Board of Trustees moved to institute a permanent advisory committee on investor responsibility during its Fall-term meeting.
Six days before the Student Life Initiative embroiled the campus in controversy, another debate was brewing.
