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.

'13 Guy to '15 Girl: "Tails" is a term you should know. The first time I heard the term tails, it was from a gay guy, and I was expecting something completely different. '12 Rho Chi: When all is said and done, my job comes down to facilitating insecurity. '15 Girl 1: I really don't understand this obsession with flair.'15 Girl 2: I think it's only okay if it's slutty.

Being and Dartmouthness

By Kip Dooley | January 19, 2012

I think there's a lot to be said for breaking rules. Especially when they don't make sense. When I was little, I had no problem breaking rules that didn't make sense.

The Notorious B.I.G. Green: Dartmouth's Most Infamous Alumni

By Patrick Chen | January 19, 2012

Dartmouth is well-known for producing truly outstanding alumni. To name a few, Dr. Seuss, Mindy Kaling '01 and Timothy Geithner '84 all represent the unique sense of individuality that the College on the Hill strives to instill in its students. Given the laundry list of successful Dartmouth alumni, it is difficult to imagine that any graduate would go on to pursue any sort of life of crime. Consequently, simply going on Google and searching "notorious Dartmouth alum" or "bad Dartmouth alumni" proved difficult.
