Review: 'Joker' fails to live up to its artistic aspirations

By Sebastian Wurzrainer | October 8, 2019

“Joker” is not the most boring film I’ve seen all year. Nor is it the most poorly made.

UChicago professor speaks at Hood on intersection of art and race

By Macy Toppan and Kendall Milender | October 8, 2019

For University of Chicago art history professor Darby English, it’s a conversation.  Last Thursday, students, faculty and members of the Hanover community gathered to hear English speak in the Hood Museum of Art’s Gilman Auditorium for the annual Dr. Allen Root Contemporary Art Distinguished Lectureship, a forum established in 2004 that focuses on celebrating and educating the community about modern art through a variety of lenses.

Behind Sachleben’s goal in the 72nd minute, the Dartmouth men’s soccer team (4-3-1, 1-0-0 Ivy) opened Ivy League play with a 1-0 win versus Princeton University (5-3-0, 0-1-0) on Saturday.
