By Katie Sinclair | April 10, 2014

In case you were wondering, the traditional American breakfast of “bacon and eggs” was a marketing ploy invented by Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) in the 1920s, aimed to increase the market share of Beech-Nut bacon.

By Sara Kassir | April 3, 2014

Last week, when I introduced myself to Collis employee Kathy McTaggart and asked her if she would be willing to tell me a little about herself, she blushed. She wasn’t sure if she was the right person to do an interview. Luckily for me, another Collis employee overheard our conversation, caught her eye and encouraged her to give me a chance to formally introduce her to campus.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | April 3, 2014

In case you were wondering, Isaac Newton’s Principia, which set the groundwork for Newtonian physics, almost didn’t see publication, since the Royal Society’s finances were depleted after publishing “De Historia Piscium” or “The History of Fish.” Despite being a charming collection of engravings, the text sold poorly.

Editors' Note

Is Dartmouth on the Decline?

Recent controversies surrounding Greek life, sexual assault, administration upheavals and most recently, declines in application numbers have spurred some to speculate that Dartmouth is, to put it lightly, at a crossroads — perhaps even a slump. Upon hearing about the 14 percent drop in regular decision applicants this January, many students voiced concerns that the value of their degree will drop. However, the College has been no stranger to controversy in past decades, many of which touched upon issues still relevant today. This raises the question: is Dartmouth’s current predicament indeed unprecedented? And if not, how has the College recovered from similar controversies?
