Bach: Lessons from Dixie

By Jinsung Bach | June 23, 2016

When the American Civil War ended over a century ago, a shattered nation was made whole. North and South came together once more, as the United States became a unified country again. But the newly reunited America was fraught with new problems, not least among them a lingering hostility against the people of the South. With the defeat of the Confederacy came cries for retribution, and vengeance after so many years of tears and bloodshed. Justice, clamored the enraged voices of the past, justice! There was no place in America for Southern traitors! Punishment was their only just reward!

Zou: A Farewell to the MRL

By Billy Zou '12 | June 23, 2016

The Moosilauke Ravine Lodge has the unique distinction of being haunted by both the dead and the living. I first became aware of its ghosts at the inauguration of Jessica Griffin ’11 as Lodge manager. I had been on an overnight hike with a friend of mine, an avid outdoorsman, and he’d brought me along to the Lodge for dinner. It was the first time I’d been back since a year earlier during my Dartmouth Outing Club first-year trip. At the time, I wasn’t sure I was interested in the Outing Club culture — or the outdoors itself, for that matter. The inauguration proceedings involved a delicate ritual of celebration and ridicule, and there is a part where all the Lodgelings dance in a spinning circle as the Kitchen Witch beats her steel drum to rhythm of an ancient song. The ghosts came out of the woodwork.

Student Spotlight: actress, singer and teacher Justine Goggin ’18

By Kaina Chen | June 23, 2016

When most people think about the Pacific, romantic images of couples lounging on picturesque beaches come to mind. After all, it’s paradise, right? \n It’s hard, however, to imagine spending extended amounts of time in such an area; not many students — let alone adults — would choose to live in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, an island country near the equator used as the location for the United States’ atomic bomb testing from 1946 to 1958. Yet, that is exactly what Justine Goggin ’18 did during her sophomore winter term.

Students plan to continue with artistic passions post-grad

By Joyce Lee | June 10, 2016

With the approach of Commencement, students involved in the arts at Dartmouth face the challenge of pursuing different paths and careers that may not necessarily involve their artistic talents in the future. However, several members of the Class of 2016 involved in the various arts on campus are still keen to pursue their passions beyond Dartmouth.
