Last Sunday, I sat down to send an email out to my friends about my thesis presentation. Among others, I invited some of my freshman floormates, my fellow directorate members of The Dartmouth, my boss at Dartmouth Dining Services, my government major advisor and the executive chef of Murphy's.
Rebecca Xu / The Dartmouth We all like to imagine alternate versions of our lives.
Rebecca Xu / The Dartmouth I'm all for living in the now.
Laura Bryn Sisson / The Dartmouth Staff "Vox clamantis in deserto." You will read this phrase approximately a bajillion times in this issue.
Marietta Smith / The Dartmouth I love Dartmouth.
Justin Cozad / The Dartmouth Staff I am the 30 percent.
Marietta Smith / The Dartmouth While I was in London this past fall, I met an '07 who told me that during her time at Dartmouth (which was really not that long ago), she often wondered why given the amount of lawbreaking that occurs here on a daily basis this college is still recognized today as a legitimate institution of higher learning.
Marietta Smith / The Dartmouth In his speech to the Class of 2011, Conan O'Brien compared Dartmouth to its Ivy League peers by referring to it as the "cool, sexually confident lacrosse-playing younger sibling who knows how to throw a party and looks good in a down vest." Without a doubt, Dartmouth is a unique constituent in the Ivy League.
Jamie Mercado / The Dartmouth "Welcome Home." As a Dartmouth student, you hear and see that phrase almost constantly the residential life packet you receive in the mail before freshman Fall, that flashy banner that greets you when you arrive on Robo lawn for Trips.
We're all talking about it. Whether we are referring to the new FoCo, 1953 Commons, or Fiddy (the unsung hero of nicknames), the new dining halls are abuzz in Hanover.
