Hood receives Homer watercolor

By Elizabeth Dziadik | July 31, 1997

The Hood Museum of Art's newest acquisition depicts boys swimming and boating along the coast on a bright summer day. The Hood recently received "Boys Bathing," a watercolor by the American artist Winslow Homer (1836-1910), as a gift. The painting was donated by Edward Connery Lathem, Dartmouth's former Dean of Libraries and a long-time member of the College's administration staff, in memorial tribute to Rudolph Ruzica.

Lead the 'shmob--your guide to campus buildings

By Elizabeth Dziadik | July 22, 1997

So you've managed to figure out that your Introductory Chemistry class is in 106 Steele. As you wander past buildings reminiscent of the campus tour you took with your parents, you begin to wonder anxiously about what your first college class holds in store for you. Images swirl in your head: 600 scribbling students crammed in a huge auditorium where the chalkboard is a mile a way, the professor seems to be a mere ant mumbling in a distant voice. In reality, Steele Hall comfortably houses about 100 students in an auditorium-like room where the chalkboard and overhead projectors help students enrich their lives with chemistry. Fairchild Tower, with its 70-foot- high, 260-pound rotating pendulum, connects four major science buildings. Fairchild houses the geography and earth science departments, while Steele Hall is home to the environmental studies department. The physics department is located in Wilder Hall, where two large lecture halls hold classes in math, biology, astronomy, and physics.

Buildings tell story of Dartmouth men

By Elizabeth Dziadik | February 26, 1997

Baker, Collis, Hopkins, Rockefeller, Thayer. You hear the names every day, but few students know whose names Dartmouth's buildings bear. Most of Dartmouth's edifices are named after the rich, like Charles Collis '37, who donated $1 million toward construction of the Collis Student Center, or the famous, like Nelson Rockefeller '30, the vice president under Gerald Ford. "Many of the buildings are named in honor of distinguished people who have been important to the College," Director of Principal Gifts Lucretia Martin said.

Several duties await '97 Council

By Elizabeth Dziadik | January 16, 1997

Besides applying for graduate schools or preparing to go through corporate recruiting, members of the senior class are currently engaged in a less stressful but perhaps equally important task -- the selection of the 1997 Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is a group of students who, as alumni, organize their class for the five-year period after graduation. Members of the Class of 1997 have until tomorrow to submit nominations, and from that group seniors will elect 20 members for their committee. The representatives are responsible for establishing trust funds, planning mini-reunions, and maintaining contact with their fellow classmates, among other duties.
