By Kristen Kelley | July 1, 2004

If students have one gripe about sophomore summer, a term traditionally idealized as time of relaxation and enjoyment with classmates, it is the lack of dining options. Dissatisfaction with the dining hours abounds, with students complaining that they must save food for later at night, that the needs of vegetarians are not considered, and that meals off-campus are almost forced.

"You know The Dartmouth quoted students calling me an uninspiring and uninteresting choice for commencement speaker," Immelt said.
