What roles have you held on The Dartmouth, and what was your role on the 181st Directorate?
Mirror, Mirror, on the wall: it’s Gretchen, writing from one of the mysteriously-stained, slightly-too-squishy couches that lives on the second floor of Robinson Hall — the same couch I’ve sat on for the past four years at Mirror story assignment meetings. To be honest, I’ve been dreading this Editors’ Note — the last of the 181st Directorate — because the end of my time on Directorate is akin to taking the first step on the path that leads to graduation. And that, in turn, feels somewhat like stepping off the edge of a cliff when you don’t know what lies beneath — not to be dramatic or anything. Clearly, our last night of production is filling me with the first twinges of nostalgia for my college experience.
As New Hampshire’s newly elected Kid Governor for 2025, fifth-grader Jade Adams from Wells Memorial School in Harrisville, N.H., hopes to make New Hampshire the 13th state to ban animal testing. The Kid Governor program is a national award-winning civics program for fifth graders created by the Connecticut Democracy Center and has been implemented in four states. In New Hampshire, the program is led by civics education organization N.H. Civics in partnership with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, an academic institute at Saint Anselm College. According to Adams, she entered a primary in her classroom and won her school’s nomination during a school-wide election. With the help of her friends and family, she created a campaign video that focused on animal testing. Last November, fifth graders around New Hampshire selected Jade in the state-wide election for Kid Governor, against six other finalists. As she begins her one-year term, The Dartmouth sat down with Adams to talk about her experience with the Kid Governor election process, the position so far and her hopes for the remainder of her term.
This winter, 25 students have been learning about a subject that often feels as unpredictable as the New Hampshire winter weather: love. In SOCY 62, “Love, Romance, Intimacy and Dating,” sociology professor Kathryn Lively is teaching students to navigate the intricate terrain of human connection from a different perspective.
A dim light and muffled chatter fill the dark side of the Class of 1953 Commons. I sit across from my friend as we talk about the lives of people we don’t know. Our heads are on a swivel, scanning the space out of habit. I look down at my meal. It’s what I’ve been getting every night for the past few weeks: rice and chicken coated in teriyaki sauce, alongside a salad with balsamic vinegar and too many red pepper flakes.
The Washington Post’s opinion section has long been a hub of diverse thought, featuring voices ranging from staunch conservatives like George Will to progressive columnists like Katrina Vanden Heuvel. It has provided a platform for foreign policy hawks and anti-interventionists alike, for free-market champions and economic populists, for establishment figures and radical critics of power. Last week, Amazon’s billionaire founder Jeff Bezos pulled off one of the most grotesque threats to American media in recent history.
On Feb. 27, the Montgomery Fellows Program hosted Yale University Digital Ethics Center founding director Luciano Floridi for a talk titled “AI and the Future of Content.” Floridi’s lecture focused on the importance of maintaining human-made content in a world that is becoming increasingly reliant on artificial intelligence.
On Feb. 27, Dartmouth Divest for Palestine — a coalition of College students, faculty, staff and alumni — organized a protest to “tell the Board of Trustees to invest in workers not the war machine,” according to a flyer for the event. Approximately 60 students and community members attended the protest.
The Courtyard Cafe will be closed for renovations until March 31, according to Dartmouth Dining director Jon Plodzik. The venue closed on Sunday and is scheduled to reopen on the first day of spring term classes — complete with new digital ordering kiosks and “Fresh Zone” retail machines.
After defeating Brown University on March 1, Ryan Cornish ’25 strolled into the players’ lounge for the postgame press conference. Sitting down, Cornish contrasted the hug-filled 20 minutes which had preceded his march off the court in Leede Arena.

On Feb. 24, English professor Alexis Jetter resigned from the College, approximately three weeks before the end of winter term. Jetter tendered her resignation in reply to an email from a College administrator informing Jetter that a “formal grievance” had been filed against her, according to a copy of the email thread obtained by The Dartmouth.
While some students prefer to spend their summers at home, those warmer months can also provide an opportunity to pursue internships abroad. Those who choose the latter might find themselves at the end of Ben Joel ’27’s camera lens. Joel, a digital storytelling intern for the Dickey Center for International Understanding, spent last summer traveling around the world to shadow other Dickey Center “interns at work” and document “their experience through photography, videography and storytelling,” according to the center’s website. Starting in Costa Rica, Joel visited interns across the United States, Vietnam, Kosovo and Kenya, documenting his journey along the way. The Dartmouth sat down with Joel to discuss his extensive journey and reflect on his experiences.
As of June of 2023, race-based affirmative action is no longer permissible, and even when it was practiced, it failed to achieve its goals. When former Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell authored his 1978 opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke — which determined whether affirmative action violated the Equal Protections Clause of the 14th Amendment — he justified race-based admissions as a means to achieve diversity that fosters a “robust exchange of ideas.” The deference that universities were granted when selecting their incoming classes was thus carefully predicated on achieving the educational benefits that flow from “viewpoint diversity,” a point that is almost entirely overlooked in the modern discourse surrounding this issue.
On the ground at Brown University’s Olney-Margolies Athletic Center, throwers were stretching, runners were sprinting and jumpers were getting ready for their jumps. Five meters and 20 centimeters above the ground, Dartmouth pole vaulter David Adams ’26 soared into the program’s history books. With a 5.2-meter vault at the Brown Invitational this Saturday, Adams broke the program record — 5.18 meters — that he had set in 2023.
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, there were more people than chairs in the Wheelock House, the Christian Living Learning Community and former home of Eleazar Wheelock. Spencer Reece, a visiting poet and Episcopalian priest, stood at the front of the room like it was a Sunday service. He led the group in “Shalom,” a call-and-response prayer begetting peace. As I repeated the Hebrew benediction, moving from whispers to shouts, I felt aware of how rarely an opportunity arises to join a group of strangers and sing without shame.
On Feb. 26, the Dartmouth Political Union hosted former CNN political commentator Keith Boykin ’87 and American Enterprise Institute fellow and educator Ian Rowe for a debate on the merits of diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Boykin argued in favor of DEI, while Rowe argued against it.
