After decades of fierce and sometimes caustic debate, the controversy surrounding Dartmouth College's mascot -- or lack thereof -- reached a verdict Friday when the College announced the creation of a new official mascot. The "Old, Rich White Man," the result of days of heated discussion by a specially appointed panel of administrators, trustees and students, will be formally introduced as the new Dartmouth mascot at an unveiling ceremony scheduled for next week.
I'm not one to dwell in nostalgia and sentimentality. Graduation shouldn't be about losing Dartmouth, but about carrying what we've learned from our school into the next stages of our life. Yes, Hallmark cards will be writing to me soon, and, no, I haven't gotten a signing bonus for writing this column. Graduation is a time of transition -- the biggest one I've faced so far.

I have not graduated, but that has not stopped
I remember a conversation I had four years ago with one of my favorite high school teachers. She regarded my personality as being somewhat brash and my general outlook on life as being at odds with the majority of people on an Ivy League campus. In other words I was something of a loudmouthed conservative. Before I left for school she warned me that my attitudes would probably change in college. Presumably, she thought that the rapid and widespread exchange of ideas and experiences that take place at a prestigious university would make any resistance to change futile. Now that I think about it, several of my high school teachers said similar kinds of things to my classmates and me before we graduated.
