Panelists discuss the future of liberal arts

By Paul Hung | May 25, 1993

Participants in a panel discussion last night called "Dartmouth Undying" lashed out against the College's current liberal arts education and offered visions of the future. Religion Professor Susan Ackerman, Senior Class President Doug Chia, English Professor William Cook, Susie Lee '94 and Dean of Student Life Holly Sateia comprised the panel, which often focused on how much emphasis the College should give to traditionally marginalized academic voices. Jay Heinrichs, editor of the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine and moderator of the event, opened the panel by saying that while the traditional liberal arts concept has changed, it still focuses on the national elite. Lee said there is a syndrome of "preaching to the choir" at discussion events like last night's panel.

President's quest: Freedman strives for intellectualism

By Steve Hoffman | May 25, 1993

Second in a series of articles about James O. Freedman. Dartmouth's Board of Trustees hired James Freedman as the 15th President of the College with one goal in mind: to improve the intellectual atmosphere of a school that ranked as the least academic of the Ivies. Freedman took over the presidency from David McLaughlin '54, a businessman and CEO without a doctoral degree who was heavily criticized by the faculty for his lack of intellectual leadership. In January 1985, an ad hoc committee formed by the faculty to examine the governance of the College released a report sharply criticizing McLaughlin's leadership style.

Music Prof produces 'Dreams' CD

Time for maturity at The Review

By Nina Mcadoo | May 25, 1993

The time has come for me to join The Dartmouth Review debate. Why do the editors of The Review seem to think that it is fun to offend as many people as possible in order to prove their point that the First Amendment is unassailable? What I find frustrating about The Review is that I often agree with them on Dartmouth issues.
