The year is 2060. I sit in bed, two pillows behind my back, my granddaughter on my lap. I have chosen a new picture book to read out loud in honor of her newly appointed favorite species — elephants.

When the editors first suggested “sex” as a theme, it was mostly because both had run dry of deep, profound theme ideas. After throwing around increasingly silly article ideas varying in seriousness (one potential survey question simply read, “Anal?”), however, Lauren and Hayley found that there is a lot to explore when it comes to the sex lives of Dartmouth students.
Peak foliage: RIP every colorblind person on campus
’19: “What should I set as my age limit on Tinder? Mine’s currently at 34.”
In a campaign stop for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in Alumni Hall yesterday, former President Bill Clinton discussed economic and climate policy and criticized the divisive rhetoric of the election.
The basement of Rockefeller Hall was abuzz Sunday with alternating periods of loud chatter and complete silence. Attendees waited anxiously for the arrival of Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ’88, “Friday Night Lights” and “Nashville” actress Connie Britton ’89, Democratic Rep. Ann McLane Kuster ’78 and New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan.
The William Jewett Tucker Center and the Dartmouth Center for Service have added programs to better focus on their respective missions since the two organizations split in June 2014. According to a statement given by Dartmouth’s Board of Trustees in the summer of 2014, the purpose of the change was to allow the Tucker Center to focus on religious life and spirituality while the Center for Service focuses in support civic engagement and community leadership. The two organizations now function independently of one another, though both still reside in South Fairbanks Hall.
Filled with past projects, innovative technology, bean bag chairs and replicas of Salvador Dali’s famous mustache, the Digital Arts Leadership and Innovation Lab has been a hub of experiential learning and problem solving since 2013. Recently, the lab moved locations to a new, expanded room in Sudikoff Hall and hired additional staff members.
Throughout its 78 years, the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge has been a site of meaningful connection for the College community. In an effort to digitally memorialize these shared experiences following the building’s reconstruction, Connor Gibson ’16 and Gigi Anderson ’16 launched a website, “Sharing the Mountain,” last week.
For Simon Pearce, glassblowing is about the connection between art and place.
In my past three years at Dartmouth, my absolute favorite moments have been when I’ve failed. Let me explain.
A friend of mine recently argued that you cannot be both a brother in a fraternity and a good runner. While I’m not here to dissect the scrupulous grind of long-distance running or the singular focus it requires, I raise the topic for a point: There is a particular lifestyle associated with being in a fraternity, and that lifestyle, at least to my friend, is counterproductive to athletic achievement, at least with regards to running. I disagree.
Phil Olson ’79’s award-winning career in comedy began unexpectedly. After graduating from Dartmouth with a degree in mathematics, Olson received an MBA from the University of Chicago and initially pursued a career in real estate. It was only then that he discovered his love for comedy writing. Olson went on to write and perform with The Groundlings, an improvisational and sketch comedy theater whose alumni include Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig. Olson has written 13 original screenplays and 15 published plays with over 350 productions worldwide, nine of which have been published by Samuel French. His next play, “A Nice Family Christmas,” will open in seven cities this year.
“Hell or High Water” may not be for everyone, but I think that’s honestly for the best. David Mackenzie’s newest film is strange, uncompromising, beautiful, confounding and frankly a breath of fresh air in a year full of films that have failed to live up to expectations. Perhaps this disappointing year was the key to “Hell or High Water”; I had no expectations for it, so I never assumed it would be one of the best films I’ve seen so far in 2016.
