Love, Dartmouth Style \n July 1, 1997 \n Justin A.
Even as campus prizes sexual encounters, some remain virgins.

In case you suffer from some form of amnesia, you are probably aware that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Naturally, I would like to devote the entirety of this week’s column to love, lust, lies and betrayal.
“Are you going to FoCo?” This question, the most phatic bit of verbiage, is laden with history and innuendo that someone outside of Dartmouth’s cultural cell could never understand and about which someone within forgets to think.
Lately I have surveyed campus with an extra jiggle in my step. I have ignored a bit more cheerfully than usual the humming of the paper shredders in Baker-Berry as scores of readers gather to destroy every print edition of this column they can find.

Artists' Note: It’s usually an assumption that love at Dartmouth doesn’t exist since it isn’t really visible on campus. So when we took on this project, we thought it would be hard to find couples on campus. However, throughout the past few days when we met and photographed couples in their happiest moments, we learned that love does exist at Dartmouth, and it sometimes comes in the most unexpected ways.
Dartmouth University or Dartmouth College: a debate that is almost as old as the school itself.
Dartmouth’s departments, programs and minors have committed to a liberal arts education, evidenced by the many interdisciplinary programs and majors, cross-listed courses and the collaboration between faculty members. Though there is a limited supply of resources, and most department chairs would prefer to have more funding, this has not led to much competition between departments.
In order to market itself to prospective students each year and keep application and enrollment numbers high, the College has to appeal to and attract prospective students from around the world.
This issue began on a four-way Skype call coordinated between four time zones and three continents. Say that three times fast.
Dartmouth graduates leave Hanover with either a B.A. or B.E., both representing an education cultivated across disciplines. This approach is advantageous for those desiring to gain experience in many fields, but some prospective students who want to specialize in art may have difficulty deciding between the liberal arts and the fine arts.
Each year, The Dartmouth publishes a story reporting the College’s ranking compared to other higher education institutions as determined by the U.S. News & World Report. These rankings, however, are not without their critics.
According to a report published by the Committee on Instruction last winter, the average Dartmouth grade point average has increased by 11.48 percent across departments – from 3.05 to 3.40 since the 1970s.
