Cloud rap has always been a genre defined by its resistance to definition. Emerging in the late 2000s through trailblazing artists like Main Attrakionz and Lil B, cloud rap introduced a sound that felt hazy and psychedelic, often shaped more by mood than by design. Though frequently tied to the online music platform SoundCloud and the artists who rose through it — such as Yung Lean and Bladee — the “cloud” has never referred to the platform itself. Instead, it is the atmosphere that lingers in the music’s euphoria and detachment: essentially, the perfect high.

Famously drawn on Dartmouth fraternity life, the raunchy, exaggerated depictions of Greek social scene and over the top humor in 1978 comedy “Animal House” still resonate with today’s college students. Author Jeff Nelligan explores the film’s cross-cultural bridge in his recently released short satirical book, “When the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor: Animal House in Western Intellectual Thought,” a faux-academic study of “Animal House,” which was co-written by Dartmouth alumnus Chris Miller ’63. In the book, Nelligan frames the film as a cornerstone of the Western intellectual tradition, comparing it to classical works by authors like Homer and Shakespeare. In doing so, Nelligan playfully applies the language of high cultural theory to a film rooted in college chaos and irreverence.

Dartmouth College President Sian Leah Beilock just went to San Francisco and Miami to deliver the same stump speech she’s been making since she mass-arrested students on May 1, 2024. She’s added some new elements since the White House’s January 21, 2025 executive order targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion, but by and large her principal claim has been — say it with me — “At Dartmouth, we teach students how to think — not what to think.”
Shockingly, this assertion has gone unchallenged. The Dartmouth Review, which has been critical of College administrators since its inception, has showered Beilock with effusive praise. The Board of Trustees was historically a place where disagreements about Dartmouth’s direction have revealed themselves: in the 1980s when discussing divestment from South Africa, for instance, or in the mid-to-late 2000s when Peter Robinson ’79, Stephen Smith ’88 and Todd Zywicki ’88 — all of whom were vocal in their opposition to Dartmouth’s 16th president James Wright — were elected to serve. Today’s Board has become, in my opinion, an obsequious syndicate of rubber stampers — unwilling to take action when directly asked to do so by alumni, faculty and students following the mass arrests in May 2024, and President Beilock’s refusal to sign the AACU open letter in defense of academic freedom in April 2025, to name but two of many examples. Other than two brave members of the Class of 2029, no one on campus has written an editorial in The Dartmouth questioning Beilock since the start of 2026.
Yet, Beilock’s claim that Dartmouth teaches thinking, not opinions, must be contested. And the vehicle for scrutinizing it, should be the very thing that Beilock touts as evidence of her veracity: Dartmouth Dialogues.
Before spring term ends and commencement is held, Dartmouth Dialogues executive director Kristi Clemens should host a series of meaningful, public exchanges about Beilock’s questionable decisions as College president.

“Project Hail Mary” is practically miraculous in how deftly it balances intergalactic stakes and an intimate, character-focused emotional core. Directors Phil Lord ’97 and Chris Miller ’97, best known for their comedies and animated films like “21 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie,” turn out to be the perfect fit for a blockbuster sci-fi story that treats wonder, comedy and sentiment with equal conviction.

In the opening scene of Aaron Sorkin’s “The Newsroom,” three panelists are asked, “In one sentence or less, why is America the greatest country in the world?” The show’s lead, a famous news anchor named Will McAvoy, attempts to dodge the question but eventually blurts out “It’s not the greatest country in the world … that’s my answer.” He continues, “You know why people don’t like liberals? Because they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, then why do they lose so goddamn always?”

There are a number of things that are particularly anomalous about the American college experience when compared to life in the real world. Many college students live in walkable neighborhoods, something that is remarkably rare in the United States. Only about half of college students participate in the labor force, making it one of the few groups of American adults where broadbased unemployment is accepted. One of the activities relatively unique to college students is the broad use of and participation in shared spaces. College students frequently live, study and socialize in shared spaces that are managed by their institution.
