Fewer than 430 disciplinary cases were recorded last year, over 200 less than in 2004 -- 2005 and the lowest number in the last six years, according to the recently released Annual Report to the Community of the Dartmouth Undergraduate Disciplinary System. The report also indicates a large decrease in the number of alcohol and drug related cases over previous years.
Claire Messud's new book "The Emperor's Children" could very well be subtitled "Great Expectations." The novel, which was released to impressive critical acclaim, interweaves the stories of three friends who first met as talented, promising undergraduates at Brown University (a very fashionable alma mater for fictional characters nowadays) and who have since pursued professional success in the whirl and dazzle of New York City.
