At Wright's faculty address, less news is good news

By Matthew Kelly | October 28, 2003

President of the College James Wright addressed the faculty at yesterday's general faculty meeting, where he outlined the College's goals and priorities, while provoking little opposition from the faculty. Whereas last year's meeting was marked by virulent protest across departmental boundaries regarding budget cuts, President Wright's address yesterday was greeted with strong applause, to the obvious delight of a smiling Wright. Wright's news was considerably rosier than last year's.

Homecoming Revisited

By Rene C. Moya | October 24, 2003

This year's Homecoming presents the members of the class of 2006 with an inordinate challenge -- what is our role as upperclassmen, if not to run around the bonfire like heathens? Do we beat up the little freshmen who try to escape from running laps around the fire?

By Kevin Garland | October 24, 2003

Big Green sports teams in competition this weekend

By Keil Hur | October 24, 2003

Although much of the excitement of Homecoming weekend is directed toward the football game against Columbia, there are several other events to keep sports fans entertained long after the final whistle at Memorial Field. Although tradition and public awareness dictate that football be at the heart of every Homecoming, three other Big Green teams will take on Columbia this weekend and two -- men's tennis and women's lacrosse -- will play host to a handful of colleges in the Big Green Invitational. Despite playing out of the spotlight, the four teams that have begun their seasons so far have turned in top-notch performances and one -- women's lacrosse -- will kick off its season with a four team tournament. Although these teams normally play in front of smaller crowds, they all represent the pride of Big Green on their respective playing fields, and a large crowd of supportive fans will certainly help all five teams continue -- or kick off -- their seasons in a winning fashion. By sheer size, the Big Green Invitational, hosted by the Dartmouth men's tennis team, will be the biggest event of the weekend.

Editor's Note

By Colin Barry | October 24, 2003

At its heart, Homecoming is about pride -- the pride that swells in new class as they sweep through town and flood the Green to encircle the bonfire, the pride that fills Memorial Field and defines every cheer, the pride that keeps an army of allegiant alumni coming back each Dartmouth Night. This weekend puts freshmen at center stage.

Bonfire history: 116 years of flames, first-years and fun

By Steven Orbuch | October 24, 2003

Tonight, as the class of 2007 runs around the bonfire, they will be honoring a Dartmouth tradition so old that it predates Dartmouth Night and formalized Homecoming. The first makeshift bonfire occurred in 1888 when students decided to celebrate a 3-2 Dartmouth baseball victory over Manchester College.
