I have a confession. I have been writing an advice column with Kate Taylor '13 every Friday since September, and we have made up almost all of the questions.

Orientation will be an unfortunately short six days packed with department open houses, floor meetings, intellectual banter, quality time in the outdoors and some other stuff.
Chivalry is a weird term. It conjures up images of knights who joust, quest and slay dragons to win over the girl of their dreams.
Dear Applicant, First, we wanted to thank you for taking the time to apply to Dartmouth College.
