Taking 'intellectual steroids' not considered cheating

By Jessica Spradling | April 21, 2004

While the use of illegal stimulants by some students may seem unfair to other students against whom they are graded, use of illegal drugs to enhance performance on tests is not considered cheating, according to the Academic Honor Code currently used by the College. The Academic Honor Principle was adopted by the College in 1962, and still serves as the major document, that governs academic honesty at Dartmouth.

Woodstock -- rich with New England heritage

By Jessica Spradling | April 6, 2004

White churches and whiter Christmases, commons, trees bursting with colorful foliage, wassailing, gentlemen farmers and tiny towns with a long and much-loved local history -- just a few of the images filed in the American cultural imagination under the term "New England." For many Dartmouth students who live in the vast regions of the United States where Wal-Mart and interstates are the rule of the day, part of the allure of Dartmouth is the "New England experience." The College is not shy about capitalizing on this idea, as the Dartmouth view books, with their New England panoramas, promise prospective students the New England they have imagined.

Many alumni feel so strongly about the physical space of the Dartmouth campus, that what at other schools would be considered relatively minor changes to the landscape are suddenly very controversial. Not even a sculpture of College founder Eleazor Wheelock himself enjoys a place on campus.

Town votes down zoning restrictions

By Jessica Spradling | May 14, 2003

The College averted a crisis last night when citizens at the annual Hanover Town Meeting voted against proposals that would have crippled several long-anticipated construction projects. Work on the planned North Campus expansion -- including a new 500-bed super-cluster -- will continue unhinged, despite attempts by several Hanover townspeople to pass restrictive amendments to town zoning laws. Approximately 800 residents voted against each of the four controversial amendments, which included height and setback restrictions, while around 400 citizens voted affirmatively.
