Linguistics can change approach to law

By Julia Levy | January 15, 1999

Goodwin among Montgomery Fellows

By Deborah Bernstein | January 4, 1999

"The intent is to take Dartmouth's last Winter and Spring terms of the 20th century and examine how certain presidents in this century have used -- or misused -- the power of their office," said Barbara Gerstner, assistant provost and executive director of the Montgomery Endowment. The format departs from the traditional Montgomery format, where visiting speakers stay at the College to give multiple lectures and interact with students.
