Freshman Musings: Unraveling the Meaning of Green Key

By Priya Krishna | May 13, 2010

Editors' Note

By Jamila Ma and Greg Berger | May 13, 2010

Green Key arguably the most underappreciated of Dartmouth's big weekends is usually dismissed by students as just another excuse to party. Without a powerful emblem like the bonfire or snow sculpture, Green Key is often said to lack meaning, but this weekend is as rich in tradition as Homecoming or Winter Carnival.

The Drunkest Girls at the Party

By Matt Scott and Emily Duke | May 13, 2010

We know, you're shocked. The drunkest girls were asked to talk about a weekend that has nothing to do with anything besides blacking your face out to pregame nothing. Well, the two of us quickly realized that our memories involving this most holy weekend are scarce and that the most important detail is that this holiday means nothing.

We Used to Hang Out …

By Kevin Niparko | May 13, 2010

It's inevitable. This weekend, every single one of us will get sucked into a conversation with at least one crusty, close-talking alum with whiskey on his breath rambling on about the good ol' days.

The Gospel According to Matthew

By Matthew Ritger | May 6, 2010

When I am alone on a long run in the rain in May, heading out through Norwich, up past Maple Hill and down past Bradley Hill; when the pavement ends, and I pass those sad cows at Goodrich Four Corners (not people, cows); when, after miles of trying to visualize my legs (not legs, life) like a train on the tracks, I catch sight of Baker Tower between a crease in the hills, away across the river: This is happiness, for me.
