Dartmouth College

By Joseph Asch '79 We need to have the confidence to bring in consultants. They will teach us what any local business who deals with Dartmouth already knows: the College is not "pretty efficient." In fact, if you were to make that statement to a roomful of experienced Upper Valley businessmen, the laughter wo...

Dear Women of Dartmouth, The Dartmouth Review has a long history of active participation by women. [The just-elected Editor in Chief is a woman.] What traditions, disrespectful of women, are the traditions of the parity slate? Are these the traditions of the two women on that slate?

One Dartmouth student, class of 2010, commented to Dartblog on the recent OPA reversal of policy: Surprise, surprise, the Dartmouth Propaganda Machine will only alert you to the good things the Dartmouth Administration does. In what is essentially the largest self-call in the history...

Second, and I feel like a broken record here, Dartmouth is worse than all three peer groups in "Administration's responsiveness to students." Dartmouth students rated that item as the third-worst aspect of Dartmouth. One has to wonder how the bureaucrats preparing the report felt when t...

Next, Mathias attempts to polarize the issue by contending that somehow The Dartmouth Review is linked with the lawsuit. This is a deliberate obfuscation of the issue, and not a very good one at that. Firstly the Review was hardly around in 1891 when the contract for Parity was made. More impo...

By A.S. Erickson The Dartmouth Review: My first question is—you are an alumna of Dartmouth—what was your experience at Dartmouth like? Was there any racism or bigotry? Was it a positive experience? TDR: Could you ever see yourself working in the Dartmouth—undergraduate—College Community again?

1. Dartmouth students drink radically more than the Ivy League average; or, 2. The Dartmouth administration is at war with its students and enforces the alcohol laws with incomparable harshness. UPDATE: The Dartmouth Review had even more on this topic in a recent issue.

By A. S. Erickson Mooney: One passed in 1893, one passed in 1921, 1961, and 1967. All four were bills brought by legislators that became law that some form or another amended the Dartmouth charter.

By A. S. Erickson It is the nature of insurgencies to seek to offend orthodox opinion, and perhaps that is the spirit in which Todd Zywicki, Dartmouth trustee and professed higher-education reformer, delivered recent remarks during a conference in North Carolina.

By A. S. Erickson 3. Comprehensive social engineering of student life and replacement of the Greek system for instance. Let me tell you a little bit about the Dartmouth board.
