They say that behind every stereotype is some form of truth. Maybe I have too much faith in my male peers, but for their sake, I sincerely hope this isn't true. If you ask any Dartmouth student to describe their classmates in general, they'll probably throw around complimentary adjectives such as "intelligent," "passionate" and "ambitious." Yet as soon as you ask for descriptions of the typical Dartmouth man, the image that comes to mind isn't entirely positive.

Being and Dartmouthness

|

When I came to Dartmouth, some of my closest friends were women. But by the end of my freshman year, I barely spoke to women at all outside of passing hellos or frenzied, convoluted exchanges in the basement.

This is the story of an allusion. "I wake up every morning and wonder whether I love this place or I hate it." "That means you love it." You have probably noticed that the seniors are all carrying around a lot of jade these days.

Letter from the Editors

Rebecca Xu / The Dartmouth Staff Ah, First-Year Family Weekend that time of year when freshmen hide the handles of vodka they have been pre-gaming with in their dorm rooms to show their parents what intellectual, collegiate individuals they have become during their first few terms at the College on the Hill.
