A Rewarding Study

By Jacob Batchelor | April 14, 2010

Learning doesn't always come easy. Although there are people who simply love to learn intrinsically, some students if not most need a more extrinsic motivation to show up every day and succeed in school.

Dartmouth Nation

By Isaiah Berg | April 13, 2010

Congratulations from abroad, Dartmouth. I've been watching you from afar during my two consecutive off-terms, and I'm relieved to see another Board of Trustees election has passed, and that power will change hands peacefully.

Laying Down the Law

By Jordan Osserman | April 12, 2010

VERBUM ULTIMUM: Involved@Dartmouth.edu

By The Dartmouth Editorial Board | April 8, 2010

To a large portion of the Dartmouth campus, the "Sun God" (formally known as Johnathan James Recor MALS '11) primarily inspires a general indifference toward his professed artistic goals of "unity" and "love." Responding to a mask-wearing, boombox-blasting, lightsaber-wielding, walking piece of performance art with apathy or even scorn is perhaps understandable.

Letter to the Editor: Elections Gone Sour

By Karen R. Blum Grantham, N.H. | April 5, 2010

To the Editor: I could not agree more that the cost and rhetoric of Trustee elections have moved into a sphere that is regrettable ("Verbum Ultimum: Poisonous Politicking," March 2). Having watched this trend develop over more than 18 years, I would just wish to point out that until this election no sitting trustee ever spoke out in favor of a candidate ("Smith '88 endorses Asch '79," March 2). Although there may be no formal rules to date within the Board, it used to be understood that the Board spoke publicly only with one voice.

Letter to the Editor: Board Misuse

To the Editor: As a former trustee, and even more as an alumnus, I am saddened and angry at the latest confirmation ("Smith '88 endorses Asch '79," March 2) that there are people on Dartmouth's Board of Trustees who believe they serve the College by mimicking the worst of electoral politics, including the appropriation of respected symbols (the Board of Trustees' letterhead) to claim a legitimacy that isn't there and the use of innuendo and hyperbole ("Enron board") to replace calm thought with high emotions.

Great Issues

By Chris Talamo | April 4, 2010

Dartmouth is mired in a lagoon of people who love it. Many of us feel so attached to our past or present experiences that we feel compelled to serve Dartmouth in some way.
