I'm sure few of us missed the recent uproar when Dartmouth was ranked #1 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report in the "Best Professors" category.
After the intricacies of Dartmouth's D-plan caused two of the top eight women's tennis players to be off campus during winter training, it would not have been unreasonable to expect the spring season to get off to a shaky start.

The men's swim team has a goal for this season-to surpass last year's performance. Actually, it doesn't have much of a choice.
