An Alcoholic Image
By
Catherine McCarthy
| March 8, 1999
So you come to Dartmouth and what do you know about this place? Do you think of the beautiful mountains, the idyllic hamlet known as Hanover where the college exists or do you think of the movie Animal House or a pervasive drinking culture that has all of the students at the pong table every weekend?

Rising Reputation and Intellectual Mediocrity
By
William C. Dowling
| March 5, 1999
To the Editor: Having been at Dartmouth during the countercultural '60s, when fraternities were a negligible presence on campus, I've had no opinion about them one way or the other. In listening to the defenders of frats over the last few weeks, though, I've come to see that the controversy is masking a deeper issue. Dartmouth has always had -- we all know this is true: it's the wince in the night of every Dartmouth graduate -- a tradition of intellectual mediocrity.

The Things Dartmouth Does Not Yet Know
By
Jean Hudson
| March 3, 1999
In 1990, I matriculated at Middlebury College. It was the year when Middlebury's fraternities (there were no sororities, due to a lack of interest) allegedly met their demise. So ... how come I was still going to Middlebury fraternity parties when I was a senior, in 1994? Fraternities at Middlebury did not die, as the college had intended.
