Five Years Later

By Hank Leukart | June 10, 2006

Four years ago, a year after walking across the Dartmouth commencement stage, I wrote an essay for The Dartmouth titled "One Year Later," in which I wrote about spending my post-grad summer with a girlfriend at Dartmouth without any classes to worry about, getting trapped in Europe on Sept.

Larimore leaves College after seven years as Dean

By Christine Paquin | June 10, 2006

Layne Moffett / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Always a time of transition for graduating seniors and for underclassmen saying goodbye to friends, Commencement this year also brings with it a substantial transition for the College and a farewell to one of its top administrators, Dean of the College James Larimore. As he prepares to leave for a position at Swarthmore, the dean has fond recollections of his time at the College, and is looking forward to his future at another prestigious liberal arts institution. Although he listed his open office hours for students and his annual visit to the Ravine Lodge during first-year trips as some of his favorite Dartmouth traditions, when pressed, Larimore said he found it difficult to identify a single highest point. "It is hard for me to pinpoint any single event or thing because this has been seven years of one highlight or fun experience after another," Larimore said. Larimore came to the College during a period marked by controversy in the wake of attempts to cut funding for the swimming and diving program and the release of the Student Life Initiative, seen by many as an attempt to dismantle the Greek system. Despite these challenges and a first year fraught with heated debates and dissatisfaction on many counts, Larimore still said he regards his experience as a completely positive one. On the difficulty of his first few months at the College, he said that the challenges offered a unique opportunity to shape the dean's office and build partnerships among colleagues. "I arrived here at a time when people were really struggling with each other and where it just seemed that there was a lot that people were worried and upset about," Larimore said.

While the women's sailors from the College of Charleston may have taken home the championship in this year's Women's Dinghy National Championships, the Big Green ladies proved their mettle, overcoming the largest deficit of the field to snare a fifth place overall finish and an All-American Honorable Mention for team captain and skipper Emily East '06.

IFC places moratorium on fraternities

By Amanda Cohen | May 31, 2006

Despite the College's decision to allow additional fraternities in June 2005, the Inter-Fraternity Council has placed a moratorium on accepting applications for sponsorship until January 25, 2007. The decision is based on a need to offer the IFC "an important opportunity to re-examine and reflect on its criteria for expansion," sparked by Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity's petition for sponsorship by the council, the first such petition in years, according to a statement from the IFC.

Alumni elections

By Grant Bosse | May 31, 2006

To the Editor: I read with disappointment of the Alumni Association's decision to cancel this fall's scheduled elections ("Association of Alumni halts imminent elections," May 30). It would be disturbing enough for our elected representatives to nearly double their own terms, if it weren't also a tactless attempt to muscle through the incoherent constitution they wish to foist upon all Dartmouth alums. It is this shallow gaming of alumni elections that critics of the proposed constitution fear will become the norm under the bureaucratic and confusing rules being offered.
