The Good, the Bad and the Downright Filthy: Housing Horror Stories

By Patrick Chen | February 2, 2012

It's hard to use sinks when they're clogged. I have personal experience in this field, having walked into my bathroom only to find one sink filled with a pungent and chunky orange vomit, and the other with what (I think) were 10 soggy granola bars. I have seen four years of this, so naturally my gag reflex has long died.

For the Love of Language

By Tyler Bradford | January 26, 2012

As admissions loves to remind you, the language program at Dartmouth is pretty expansive. Most students participate in it as a way of fulfilling the College's language requirement, which falls in line with Dartmouth's emphasis on an international education.

Dartmouth's International Diet

By Felicia Schwartz | January 26, 2012

Hanover may not be a cosmopolitan culinary center in the way that nearby cities such as Boston and New York are, but it still features plenty of means for students, faculty and community members to satisfy their cravings for a range of international foods. Within Dartmouth Dining Services, serving various kinds of international food is a priority, according to Jack Cahill, assistant director of Dartmouth Dining Services.

A World of Opportunity: Internationalism in Dartmouth Academics

By Anuraag Girdhar | January 26, 2012

Anthropologist and College President Jim Young Kim often quips, "My predecessor, John Sloan Dickey used to say that the world's troubles are your troubles ... and there is nothing wrong with the world that better human beings cannot fix.'" This maxim, though ever so slightly humorous in context, is an integral part of what makes Dartmouth... well, Dartmouth.

January 19, 2012

I sat down with one of the most prominent figures in the realm of crime and punishment at Dartmouth, Harry Kinne, director of Safety and Security and College proctor, to find out what he had to say about Dartmouth, his job and the pervasiveness of lawbreaking at the College. Q: Did you always want to be a security officer? A: When I was little, I actually wanted to be a veterinarian.

Breaking the Bro Code: A History of Frat Lawlessness

By Erin Landau | January 19, 2012

In 1966, former Dean of the Tucker Foundation Richard Unsworth so eloquently referred to Dartmouth fraternities as "a patch of social dry rot exposed to view." While his statement may be an exaggeration, there is no doubt that since 1841, the year in which the first frat came to Dartmouth, our fraternities have been getting in trouble for everything from alcohol-related incidents to arson. One of the first major crackdowns against the Dartmouth fraternity system occurred in 1942 because of alcohol-related instances and noise complaints.

Small-Town Terror: Dartmouth's Biggest Crimes

By Sara Kassir | January 19, 2012

It's hard to imagine anything bad happening in a town like Hanover. With its white picket fences and idyllic surrounding landscape, the College's isolated position generally offers a feeling of protection from the dangers of the outside world.. But for anyone who has ever read a Stephen King novel, it's easy to see how even the most picturesque places can become the backdrop for crimes so gruesome they take generations to forget. If you were to ask the average student about their knowledge of lawlessness at Dartmouth, most have probably never even heard of such incidents.

Letter from the Editor

By Priya Krishna | January 19, 2012

Marietta Smith / The Dartmouth While I was in London this past fall, I met an '07 who told me that during her time at Dartmouth (which was really not that long ago), she often wondered why given the amount of lawbreaking that occurs here on a daily basis this college is still recognized today as a legitimate institution of higher learning.
