There Stood Dartmouth College

By Robert Kilmarx | June 12, 2000

We came to Hanover after the war in the fall of 1946, to that point the second largest Dartmouth class and the most diverse, thanks to the GI Bill of Rights. We were equally divided between war veterans and those of us too young to have been in service.

College for the '50s -- a very different place

By Omer Ismail | June 12, 2000

It was a very different Dartmouth back then. But it was an even more different group of students at Dartmouth. Half a century after graduating, the Class of 1950 -- the only one of its kind -- returns to Hanover this weekend to meet their friends and reminisce their golorious days at the College. Joel Leavitt '50, reunion chair for the class, told The Dartmouth that he and his fellow classmates were excited to come back to Dartmouth and meet his fellow peers. The first class to enroll at Dartmouth after the end of World War II, the Class of 1950 had an large numbers of war heroes -- coming to attend college after years of treacherous fighting. "There was a great [number] of people who had been involved in the war one way or another," Robert Shnayerson '50 said, adding the class had a wide mix of people ranging from an ordinary rifleman to a fighter pilot. Following the government's passing of the GI bill -- aimed at helping war verterans receive an education -- many members of the class were people who ordinarily would not have been able to afford a Dartmouth education. "The GI bill made a huge difference to ... democratize the idea of going to college," Shnayerson said. The Class of 1950 was the largest Dartmouth class to date, and members, on average, were older than usual.

Dartmouth Undying

By Jacob T. Elberg | June 12, 2000

When I think about graduating from Dartmouth, I think less about the fact that my fellow classmates are so talented that they will be heading off to do amazing and exciting things next year, and more about the fact that most are so in love with their college that they would trade their plans in a second for a chance to be a Dartmouth student for one more year. I was walking across campus a few nights ago with some friends, enjoying the night and somehow blocking out the fact that it would be one of our last before graduation.

Graduating seniors face changes in job market

By Rachel Osterman | June 12, 2000

If the Class of 2000 resembles the senior class that graduated two years ago, 60 percent of its members have received job offers for next year, one fifth plan on attending graduate school and the average alum will make roughly $36,000 annually. The most common choice of employment is likely business -- with investment banking and consulting leading the way -- distantly followed by education, scientific research, computer science and engineering, social service, communications, arts, and government, in that order. Among those who attend graduate school, most will go to medical school, a close second will go to law school, about two percent of the class will receive advanced degrees in engineering and an additional two percent will enroll in Ph.D.

Class of 2000 story told in numbers

By Jeremy Skog | June 12, 2000

Numbers have always been important in the world of tertiary education: SAT scores, ACT scores, the inverse square root of the rate of growth of an exponential function. There seems to be a number for every occasion, and numbers for the graduating class this year are no different. As of May 31, 1,076 people were scheduled to graduate, 964 of which are from the original 1,085 of the class of 2000, who started in 1996. Twenty-four students transferred into the class of 2000 and 98 students are from other classes. Fifty-five percent of the graduates are male with 560 students, whereas 53 percent of the original class was male. Most of the graduates are from the Mid-Atlantic and New England, with New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California and Connecticut being the most popular states.

By Rachel Osterman | June 12, 2000

Among those who will not graduate with the Class of 2000 is Jenica Rosekrans '00, whose sudden death last spring from meningitis spurred an outpouring of grief and concern.

At a tearful memorial held this fall at Rollins Chapel, fellow Tri-Delt members described Rosekrans as "our biggest cheerleader." Through speeches, poems and songs, friends expressed their gratitude for having known Rosekrans and their sadness for having lost her. Kathleen A.
