Winter Carnival Council determines weekend's schedule

By Anthony Lafontant | February 7, 2013

This year's Winter Carnival will feature the weekend's traditional events inspired by the theme "A Very Grimm Carnival," a tribute to the Grimm Brothers' dark fairy tales, Winter Carnival Council co-chair Mandy Bowers '14 said. While the council hoped to revive previously canceled events, as of press time, a second year of unseasonably warm weather prompted the cancellation of the campus-wide snow sculpture contest and the Carni Classic, a cross-country ski race on the Hanover Country Club golf course. On Thursday evening, Winter Carnival opened with ceremonies on the Green.

Carnival has dramatic history

By Lily Fagin | February 7, 2013

The Winter Carnival celebrations that Dartmouth students now enjoy began as a mere field day in 1910 after a single student, Fred Harris '11, proposed in The Dartmouth that students should take greater advantage of the opportunities the frigid Hanover weather presents for showcasing winter sports. Since then, the weekend has seen beauty pageants, the mental breakdown of an American literary giant and a number of particularly rowdy fraternity parties. At its inception, Winter Carnival, which was then known as "Winter Meet," involved ski races, hockey games and other sporting events held around Occom Pond.

Layer Up, Buckle Down

By Natalie Van Brunt | January 31, 2013

When the temperatures start to drop and the sun goes into hibernation for weeks at time, there is a very good chance you will find me camped out on the floor of my room, hidden in a blanket cocoon and living off peanut butter, dry cereal and whatever else I can eat without leaving my little bubble-within-a-bubble.
