Congratulations '15s you have made it through that wonderful and peculiar form of coerced bonding we call "Trips" and are now poised for a radically different introduction to the Dartmouth community.

Lohse: Misleading Voices

|

Having been away from Dartmouth and in the "real world" for the past year, I've had to make the awkward transition back into this skewed landscape of wasted privilege, lockstep anti-intellectualism and rapacious yearning to at any cost to ourselves and each other become or remain upper class.

Kim: Whither the Liberal Arts?

|

Dartmouth distinguishes itself from its Ivy League peers through its adherence to liberal arts education, touting on its website that its course load is "structured to maximize your understanding of the world in ways that enable you to be a leader in your future work." During President Kim's inauguration, the College added another adage to its publicity arsenal by challenging its students to "aspire to change the world." It's time for the College to own up to its words.
