Campus hit hard by winter flu outbreak

By Julia Levy | January 19, 1999

Everyone on campus is sick -- or at least it seems that way. Fevers, sore throats, coughing and fatigue are currently sweeping the Dartmouth community as it battles the first viral wave of 1999 winter.

Meanwhile in Hanover, students and administrators were left to wonder for another year what's wrong with Dartmouth -- out of the 12 Dartmouth students who applied only one made it to the final round and none were selected as Scholars. With just two winners within the last four years and not much success in the recent past, Dartmouth's Chair of the Committee on Graduate Fellowships Monika Otter said she is puzzled by the College's inability to produce Rhodes Scholars. "I wish I knew better," she said.
