Faith under Fire

To the Editor: Some recent articles about material on the Al-Nur website have called into question the role of religious opinions in creating and sustaining a compassionate, pluralistic educational community. Religious organizations at Dartmouth are free to express the tenets of their faith on their websites and in other ways, despite the fact that some of those tenets, especially taken out of historical context, may cause offense to others.

By Mark Herman | July 13, 2004

After years of student lobbying to expand the Kresge Fitness Center, the Board of Trustees earmarked funds for the project at its last meeting and the Athletics Department has begun planning for the renovation of the second floor of Alumni Gymnasium to accommodate the new fitness center.
