Miscues mark Big Green 3-1 loss to #22 Boston University

By Nick Harrington | October 14, 2014

The Big Green lineup that started in Tuesday’s 3-1 loss to Boston University looked very different than the team that dominated Yale University and Penn University at Burnham Field earlier this season. Dartmouth (7-3-1, 2-0-0 Ivy) left many of its senior starters on the bench to start the game, including three of its top four point-scorers: Alex Adelabu ’15, Robin Alnas ’15 and Hugh Danilack ’15.

By Ray Lu | October 14, 2014

Dalyn Williams ’16 is undoubtedly a special player. In his third year as a Big Green starting quarterback, Williams has taken a large leap forward, leading Dartmouth to a 2-0 start in the Ivy League while putting up some of the best stats of his career. Williams has primarily been known as a running quarterback in the past, but this year, he leads the Ivy League in touchdown-to-interception ratio with eight touchdowns to just two interceptions.

WWI poster show explores the 'unseen'

By Margot Bryne | October 13, 2014

Despite Baker Library’s notorious bustle, one cannot help but stop and notice the flashy graphics of World War I posters featured in glass cases along the entrance lobby’s walls. Behind the glass pane, a war-torn figure stands defiant amidst the blaze of a flaming battlefield. In another image, a soldier steps over the corpse of a fallen enemy. Above him, two words capture his unbroken will: “Come On!”

Censorship is far from new. But the subjective assessment of what art is “acceptable” and what art is censored is a new trend. Even before censorship laws, government parties and powerful individuals suppressed what fit their definitions of “unacceptable.” Socrates had to drink poison hemlock for disseminating seditious ideas and corrupting the minds of the youth.
