For the first time in its history, the College admitted more women early applicants than men this year. According to a profile of students admitted early, the College admitted 173 women and 161 men out of a pool of 1,281 early applicants. The Office of Admissions and Financial Aid compiled the profile. "It is noteworthy that for the first time the College admitted more female than male students," Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid Karl Furstenberg said. This year's total of 173 women also represents the highest number of women applicants accepted early in the past five years. The larger number of women admitted early reflected the increase in the percentage of women who applied early to the College.

Environmental Protection Agency administrator William Yellowtail '69 emphasized in a speech Friday the necessity of education and partnership to confront the environmental challenges of the coming centuries. Yellowtail's address about environmental responsibility kicked off the Dartmouth Environmental Network's sixth annual Environmental Issues Symposium, which is designed to discuss environmental sustainability. "We are victims of our own ignorance of the environment," Yellowtail told the crowd of about 200 people in Dartmouth Hall. Yellowtail spoke of "the sacred trust," saying "before us, we have to keep this vision that all things are interrelated." An important aspect of this trust is engaging the community, he said.
