When John Thelin, an education professor at the University of Kentucky, was asked to name the world's most enduring academic institutions, two came to mind -- Oxford University in England and Dartmouth College. Those two universities joined rock superstars The Rolling Stones and the conglomerate General Electric on management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton's list of the world's most enduring institutions in celebration of the company's 90th anniversary. According to Thelin, Dartmouth has demonstrated an ability to innovate and respond to challenges throughout its 235-year history.

When they opened their mailboxes in December, 397 high-school seniors received the news they had all been waiting for: they were the first members of the Class of 2009. Despite garnering slightly fewer applications than in recent years, the total number of Early Decision admits was up nominally, an increase Dean of Admissions Karl Furstenberg attributes directly to the strength of the pool.

The arts section thinks to itself that it really likes running concert reviews.
