Crew roundup: Photo finish gives lightweights Biglin Bowl

The Dartmouth men's lightweight crew team had a historic victory on Saturday, as the Big Green won the Biglin Bowl over Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the fourth time in the 59-year history of the event.

The party was meant to celebrate the opening of its new exhibit, "Black Womanhood: Images, Icons, and Ideologies of the African Body." Instead, it served to commodify and objectify the very group of women it claimed to represent. First, I should say that I love the artwork in the "Black Womanhood" exhibit.
