On Baking and Breaking Bread

I’m sure that you, like me, have been flooded with Instagram stories of banana bread, friends’ new baking accounts or one of the 168,000 and counting #quarantinebaking posts on Instagram.

The History of Pong: A Dartmouth Tradition

By Maggie Doyle | August 30, 2019

Once upon a time, some Dartmouth fraternity brothers playing table tennis rested their mugs of beer on the table while they played. A few stray ping pong balls landed in the cups by divine accident, until someone proposed that it was more fun to aim for the mugs of beer themselves.

Vast & Frozen: Dartmouth Explores Antarctic Circle

By Maggie Doyle | April 17, 2019

  Author Jon Krakauer once wrote, “Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It’s like going to the moon.” In February 2020, a group of Dartmouth alumni will get to experience the magic ...

Wait, I Have an Accent? Exploring Dialects at Dartmouth

By Maggie Doyle | April 3, 2019

 “Where are you from?”  “Chicago.”  “Oh my gosh ChicAAHgo hahaha.” This strange phenomenon started on First-Year Trips. Every time I said the word “Chicago” people would, in unison, respond “ChicAAHgo,” exaggerating the harsh vowel sounds associated with the pronunciation ...
