I Wish Dartmouth Love

|

To persevere in bettering it with our love, and to accept that an imperfect love is ever so much better than none at all — this is my hope for Dartmouth and those who remain here.

Thank You For All Of It

|

It may be silly to believe that in this unfathomably big universe, leaving this place is a huge deal. But I’ve had a lot of good things here that I don’t want to let die. I’m afraid of forgetting them.

In Case You Were Wondering

|

When I think about my uncertain future, my mind goes back to what is the most quintessential game of Dartmouth, the game of champions: pong. When you’re down to a half, you can’t lose on a serve, so just keep trying.

’17 Guy: Staying in bed on Sunday morning and yelling “Oh god!” does not count as going to church. ’16 Guy: After Green Key last year, I was unsure if this was an Ivy League school. Econ Prof: You don’t want to run up your credit card debt buying liquor, drugs or women... I don’t know what you guys do on the weekends. Art History Prof: Yes, some people were having orgies in the streets during the Black Plague... It was kind of like Green Key weekend.​ ’15 Guy: I don’t see the point of running if you’re not simultaneously tanning. ’16 Girl: The easy way out is my favorite way in.

Depledging at Dartmouth

|

Throughout my conversations, however, I neglected a certain viewpoint, one that might be more telling than the rest: those who were at some point affiliated, but chose for whatever reason to leave their house. This story is often unheard on this campus, but these individuals have seen life both in and out of the system, and they thus hold a certain wisdom.

An Examination of Racial Passing at Dartmouth

|

I speak of the passing, the practice where some black individuals presented themselves as white, that must have occurred at Dartmouth to the same extent it did at other elite American colleges. In the process of exploring historical passing, I interviewed four Dartmouth undergraduates on their feelings about passing and its relevance, if any, to black students at Dartmouth today.

Forgotten Departments?

|

Shifts away from the humanities toward the social sciences, however, have important implications for the quality of instruction, as well as the variety of courses offered by departments.
