Campus and national politics created exciting year

By Michael Ross | July 27, 1996

Heated debate on the Greek system, rallies against racial intolerance, visiting Republican presidential candidates and imploding hospitals were some of the incidents dominating the 1995-96 Dartmouth year. Although the College includes less than 5,000 students and is located in a small town distant from large cities, Dartmouth still experiences a wealth of controversies, politics and outrageous incidents to fill this newspaper daily, and last year was no different. To begin with in September, Dartmouth welcomed the arrival of the Class of 1999, the first freshman class to include more women than men since coeducation began in 1972. Also during the autumn months, the College's place among the premier universities of the United States was reaffirmed by U.S.

Dartmouth's history: from log cabin to major college

By Jeffrey Beyer | July 27, 1996

When a modest Congregationalist minister named Eleazer Wheelock established a small school called Dartmouth College more than two centuries ago, no one knew quite what to expect. But in its 226 years of existence, Dartmouth has evolved from humble beginnings to become one of the finest and most respected educational institutions in the world. Founded in 1769, Dartmouth is the nation's ninth oldest college or university and predates the formation of the United States itself.

Beyond the dorms: Two types of affinity housing

By David Kung | July 27, 1996

When filling out applications for housing this year, freshmen, for the first time in Dartmouth history, had the option of choosing between not two but three different types of housing. In previous years, first-year students could choose between regular housing and the Butterfield Alcohol and Drug-Free Affinity Housing. Students who opted not to select Butterfield housing were randomly placed in one of the College's 28 other dormitories. Now, thanks to an experiment aimed at better integrating intellectual and social life at the College, the East Wheelock Cluster, otherwise known around campus as "the New Dorms," can also be selected as an alternative affinity housing. Twenty-one freshmen have been randomly selected out of 78 applicants to live in Butterfield, Associate Dean of Residential Life Beatty said.
