Better Than They Found Me

By Felicia Schwartz | May 22, 2014

You should aim to leave someone as good or better than you found them. In my four-year relationship with Dartmouth and The Dartmouth, I think I can say I am better than they found me.

Pure Poetry

By Amelia Acosta | May 22, 2014

In just how infinitely and minutely different everyone else’s spaces and moments are, they are infinitely and minutely beautiful. Just as I will never lose mine, they will never lose theirs. That’s how we’ll never lose Dartmouth, and that is pure poetry.

Moving the Roots

By Tyler Bradford | May 22, 2014

My satisfaction from my time at Dartmouth is not going to come from the doors of success it opened for me, but from my knowing that I came here and gave this place the deepest part of myself when I felt more vulnerable than ever.

I Wish Dartmouth Love

By Maggie Rowland | May 22, 2014

To persevere in bettering it with our love, and to accept that an imperfect love is ever so much better than none at all — this is my hope for Dartmouth and those who remain here.

Thank You For All Of It

By Seanie Civale | May 22, 2014

It may be silly to believe that in this unfathomably big universe, leaving this place is a huge deal. But I’ve had a lot of good things here that I don’t want to let die. I’m afraid of forgetting them.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | May 22, 2014

When I think about my uncertain future, my mind goes back to what is the most quintessential game of Dartmouth, the game of champions: pong. When you’re down to a half, you can’t lose on a serve, so just keep trying.

Overheards

May 22, 2014

’17 Guy: Staying in bed on Sunday morning and yelling “Oh god!” does not count as going to church. ’16 Guy: After Green Key last year, I was unsure if this was an Ivy League school. Econ Prof: You don’t want to run up your credit card debt buying liquor, drugs or women... I don’t know what you guys do on the weekends. Art History Prof: Yes, some people were having orgies in the streets during the Black Plague... It was kind of like Green Key weekend.​ ’15 Guy: I don’t see the point of running if you’re not simultaneously tanning. ’16 Girl: The easy way out is my favorite way in.

Depledging at Dartmouth

By Victoria Nelsen | May 8, 2014

Throughout my conversations, however, I neglected a certain viewpoint, one that might be more telling than the rest: those who were at some point affiliated, but chose for whatever reason to leave their house. This story is often unheard on this campus, but these individuals have seen life both in and out of the system, and they thus hold a certain wisdom.

An Examination of Racial Passing at Dartmouth

By Haider Ghiasuddin | May 8, 2014

I speak of the passing, the practice where some black individuals presented themselves as white, that must have occurred at Dartmouth to the same extent it did at other elite American colleges. In the process of exploring historical passing, I interviewed four Dartmouth undergraduates on their feelings about passing and its relevance, if any, to black students at Dartmouth today.
