Inside the Locker Room

|

Now that the Celebration of Excellence is behind us and most of the spring sports have started their off-season training, I’ve realized that this is the end of many Dartmouth athletes’ careers in sports. These seniors have trained for thousands of hours, taken countless bus rides and airplane trips, eaten an ungodly amount of peanut butter sandwiches and experienced a blur of locker room memories in just four years at the College. I can almost guarantee that if you asked any athlete in the Class of 2014 about the day they officially found out that they would represent the Big Green, they could recount the rush of feelings as if it were yesterday.

A View from the Woods

|

I’ve enjoyed being able to share my stories and thoughts through my column this spring — perhaps more so than the editors who quickly became aware of my chronic procrastination. In my mind, Dartmouth athletics have a permanence thatcomforts student-athletes and fans alike. Part of this permanence is the longstanding history of Big Green sports. Football at Dartmouth dates back to 1876. Women’s sports are a more recent development, but several teams have seen remarkable success. This results in generations of alumni who care deeply about their sports and about Dartmouth.

A Note to Readers

|

Tuesday afternoon, a person named in the April 11 story, "The World of College Debate," informed The Dartmouth that he had not been interviewed. The paper investigated and found that the reporter, Jake Bayer ’16, had fabricated the quotation. Bayer confirmed this, and he is no longer on The Dartmouth’s staff.

For some, a new dean’s former position will best decide fit

|

As Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson prepares to pack up her Parkhurst Hall corner office, the College must choose a new administrator to oversee undergraduate academic and campus life. While the future dean could come from a corporate, legal or academic background, faculty and higher education experts interviewed said someone with strong academic distinction could best fit into the position.

A total of 126 professors will teach an undergraduate course on campus this summer, around 14 percent of whom are visiting faculty, including three in their first year at Dartmouth. Faculty and department chairs have negotiated the 2014 summer course schedule since last fall, government department chair John Carey said.

Better Than They Found Me

|

You should aim to leave someone as good or better than you found them. In my four-year relationship with Dartmouth and The Dartmouth, I think I can say I am better than they found me.

Pure Poetry

|

In just how infinitely and minutely different everyone else’s spaces and moments are, they are infinitely and minutely beautiful. Just as I will never lose mine, they will never lose theirs. That’s how we’ll never lose Dartmouth, and that is pure poetry.

Moving the Roots

|

My satisfaction from my time at Dartmouth is not going to come from the doors of success it opened for me, but from my knowing that I came here and gave this place the deepest part of myself when I felt more vulnerable than ever.

I Wish Dartmouth Love

|

To persevere in bettering it with our love, and to accept that an imperfect love is ever so much better than none at all — this is my hope for Dartmouth and those who remain here.

Thank You For All Of It

|

It may be silly to believe that in this unfathomably big universe, leaving this place is a huge deal. But I’ve had a lot of good things here that I don’t want to let die. I’m afraid of forgetting them.

In Case You Were Wondering

|

When I think about my uncertain future, my mind goes back to what is the most quintessential game of Dartmouth, the game of champions: pong. When you’re down to a half, you can’t lose on a serve, so just keep trying.
