Memes seem to be the new rage in the tiny, insular bubble we call Dartmouth College. Although I have not personally added my own creation to this newfound stream of social criticism, an old buddy of mine who goes to Princeton (don't judge his character by his institution, he's one of the few gems who just happens to live in the douchebag capital of the world) turned my excited face into a meme about things I cannot mention in this publication.

Less than three years after stepping down as the College's 16th president in 2009, President Emeritus James Wright has written and released a book chronicling nearly three centuries of history concerning United States veterans who have fought in American wars. The book, titled "Those Who Have Borne the Battle: A History of America's Wars and Those Who Fought Them," is available for purchase on Amazon.com and will be in stock at local bookstores across the nation in the coming weeks, according to Wright. "It's a history book, but it's one with a bit of an edge," Wright said in an interview with The Dartmouth.

If we're going to take pop culture portrayals as any indication, high school tends to go one of two ways for most people.
Sending your research paper to your parents and demanding they correct it for you. Bragging about how much you drank last night.
NATHAN YEO / The Dartmouth Senior Staff The Dartmouth softball team suffered from a lack of offense on Wednesday, as the Big Green (10-19, 3-9 Ivy) was shut out by the State University of New York at Albany in both games of a doubleheader, falling to the Great Danes (28-10, 9-3 America East) in both contests, 4-0.
