Along with the 50th class reunion scheduled this weekend, members of the Classes of 1925 and 1930 will also be returning to Hanover to reminisce about their time at the College.

A consequence primarily of changing attitudes and a concerted effort by the administration to provide consistent programming, the arts have gradually appeared on the priority lists of Dartmouth students.

The future is an open book for all Dartmouth seniors.

Trustees to meet this weekend

By Karen Rose | June 11, 1995

While most visitors to the College this weekend will be content just watching the Commencement ceremonies, the College's Board of Trustees has its own agenda in mind. The Trustee's annual June meeting, its last of the academic year, is sure to have important ramifications on the future of Dartmouth. Commencement 1995 will be the main focus of the meeting, College Spokesman Alex Huppe said. The final recommendations from the Committee on the First-Year Experience report, will be up for approval at the meeting, Huppe said. Dean of the College Lee Pelton, who chaired the committee last year, released his final recommendations to the College community in May. The recommendations propose that one primarily freshman dorm have a Senior Faculty Associate, who will live near the residence hall and a dean who will advise members of the cluster. The recommendations suggest the cluster have a programming budget between $20,000 and $30,000, significantly larger than the programming budgets of other clusters. The proposal also calls for an overhaul of freshman orientation and a review of student housing needs to see if the College needs to add more beds. Also over this weekend, the Trustees will consider changes to the plans for the Center for Jewish Life, Huppe said. The Trustees will also finalize the budgets for the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration and the Thayer School of Engineering Huppe said the Trustees will be asked to give approval to two endowed chairs in addition to various appointments related to the tenure and emeritus status of members of the Board of Overseers and Board of Visitors. Trustee Ann Fritz Hackett '76 will be honored at a luncheon this weekend for her service to the College as a Trustee for more than 10 years. Chief Executive Officer of Simon and Schuster Publishing Jonathan Newcomb '68 who, after this meeting, will replace Fritz Hackett on the Board, was invited to the meeting.

World War II separated men of Class of 1945

By Jeffrey Beyer | June 11, 1995

The Class of 1945, one of three classes never to have a formal Commencement ceremony, returns to the College this weekend for its 50th reunion. Sent all around the globe by the call to serve their country in World War II, the men of the Class of 1945 only spent a few months together in Hanover before many of them left Dartmouth to join the armed forces. The Class of 1945 holds the unenviable distinction of losing more men in the war than any other Dartmouth class -- 24 of its members never returned from the war. This weekend, the Class of 1945 returns to renew old friendships, many of which were broken in December of 1941 by the bombing of Pearl Harbor. For some, it will be just another weekend.

Past valedictorians find celebrity fades quickly after graduation

By Charles Davant | June 11, 1995

While being named valedictorian is the highest honor the College can bestow on a graduate, the instant celebrity fades quickly, according to three former valedictorians. Kamala Dansinghani '94, Ally Jeddy '93 and Henry Spindler '92 all said they were honored to speak at Commencement, but that the title has affected them only in subtle ways. Dansinghani, who graduated from the College with eight academic citations and a perfect grade point average of 4.0, said one effect of graduating first in her class was she "felt a little more confident coming" to Harvard Medical School. "It is the same thing as Dartmouth.

Class of '95: a history in numbers

By David J. Pichler | June 11, 1995

The Dartmouth Class of 1995 began, as all classes here do, in a flurry of numbers written on an application sitting on the desks of admissions officers in early 1991 -- there were SATs and ACTs and GPAs and more. Since then, the students have hopefully gotten past those numbers, but still the numbers remain.

The Council on Computing will recommend that incoming freshmen buy a Power Macintosh this year, a significant upgrade from the Quadra 605 it recommended to the Class of 1998.

Palaeopitus chooses members

By Neil Desai | May 30, 1995

Palaeopitus, an organization of senior campus leaders who advise the College President and Dean of the College, selected new members and announced revisions to its constitution Sunday night. The new members include juniors Panhellenic Council President Dani Brune, Junior Class President Brendan Doherty, President's Office Intern Monica Oberkofler, Coed Fraternity Sorority Council President Matt Raben, Student Assembly President Jim Rich and President of The Dartmouth Justin Steinman. This year's delegation also includes four ex-officio organizational representatives: former La Alianza President Ramyar Cruz, former Afro-American Society Vice President Shakari Cameron, Cassie Ehrenberg, who works for the Women's Resource Center, and Dartmouth Rainbow Alliance member Matt Silvia. According to Palaeopitus' new constitution, the group's purpose is "to encourage working harmony among the various campus organizations, facilitate communication between undergraduates and the College administration and to promote the welfare of Dartmouth and protect her good name." Claire Unis '95, a member of Palaeopitus, said the members removed a clause from the constitution that stated an additional purpose, "to preserve the customs and traditions of Dartmouth." "We felt it was not an appropriate charge for us to keep," Unis said. This year's members also changed the guidelines for selecting new members. Candice Jimerson '95, Spring term chair of Palaeopitus, said four ex-officio positions were added from two categories. "We added two from ethnic and affinity groups and two from larger group organizations such as the Women's Resource Center, the Dartmouth Outing Club, religious organizations or DaGLO," now the DRA, Jimerson said. "We made these changes because previously the ex-officio positions always included someone from AAm, and it was thought to be unfair to have this while the other ethnic groups were growing in numbers," she said. "And we also changed it so that the members do not have to be the president of their organization, but active members who have shown leadership abilities," she said. Jimerson said Palaeopitus also added a group of "at-large" members: Ping-Ann Addo, John Barros, Eran BenDavid '97, Lisa Cain-Perkins, Grace Chionuma, Tim Cross, Kirsten Doolittle, Sue Kim and Federico Rivera '95. Jimerson said the "at-large" members do not necessarily represent one organization but were selected based on overall leadership activities around campus.
