The Dartmouth spoke with some of the ’91 Trustees to learn more about their role on the Board — and investigate whether they might have an outsized influence (or perhaps some friendly class rivalry).

It’s probably odd to read a piece about the Dartmouth Pine in 2024, already six years after the new logo was introduced to give Dartmouth a standardized “visual identity.” Bear with us: we think that the issue of the D-Pine and the seal is central to Dartmouth’s identity and the future of the institution. We argue that Dartmouth must formulate a version of its historic seal that can stand honorably and ethically next to the shields and crests of the Ivy League, instead of a corporate mask which degrades the history of our institution and masks its injustices.
