Letter to the Editor: Upholding the Responsibilities of Academic Leadership

1 week ago | thedartmouth.com | Andres Rodriguez

Re: Beilock says “reflection does not mean capitulation”College President Sian Leah Beilock’s reflections on higher education’s current challenges are vital and timely. True reflection, rooted in honesty and courage, can illuminate the right path forward. Yet reflection must lead to principled action — especially when federal actions threaten freedom of inquiry and the diversity that strengthens our institutions and academic endeavors.

Letter to the Editor: Stand Up Together Now

Re: Dartmouth only Ivy to abstain from signing letter against Trump administration funding cutsTo the Editor:I am deeply disappointed by College President Sian Leah Beilock’s continued refusal to sign the American Association of Colleges and Universities letter which now bears the signatures of over 500 colleges and university presidents. The intellectual gymnastics required to use “self-reflection” as justification for this decision is equally troubling.
Editor’s Note

My mom is a gardener through and through. She coaxes blooms from bare stems and revives the drooping and forgotten with a few muttered words and a splash of water. Whatever weight the day lays on her shoulders — fatigue, frustration, the quiet ache of repetition — it all slips away the moment she steps into our backyard. Five minutes among her plants and her spirit lifts as if it is photosynthesizing with the leaves around her. Her garden is more than a pastime.
Letter to the Editor: We Need Courageous Leadership

2 weeks ago | thedartmouth.com | Jessica Brown

To the Editor: These are extraordinary times. I am ashamed to say that the president of my beloved alma mater chose not to sign the AACU letter. It is not hyperbole to say our entire way of life is in peril. They are at war with us and the only way we can avoid defeat is to band together and set aside minor disagreements. The challenge is greater now as we try to fight the internal threat of authoritarianism. This is not partisan politics as usual.
Reflection: Who’s Going to Late Night These Days?

3 weeks ago | thedartmouth.com | Leila Brady

One writer reflects on her Late Night experience as a sophomore. Within three hours of getting back to campus this spring, I found myself at Late Night at the Class of 1953 Commons. It felt like a fitting re-entry. I’d spent the first two weeks of my off-term away from Hanover, but there I was again, bathed in the dim, warm glow of Foco. The air was thick with fryer oil and the little plastic cups next to the soda machines were stacked in their jagged towers.

The transition into this term felt like being dropped into a pool and told to swim before I could even surface for air. One minute, I was catching up with friends, eating rushed dinners with people I hadn’t seen in months, laughing too loud and staying up too late; the next, I was hunching over tables in the Life Sciences Center and Fairchild Physical Sciences Center, whispering the names of organic compounds under my breath like incantations, and hoping they’d stick.
Review: “Severance” season two dives deeper into what it means to be human

1 month ago | thedartmouth.com | Owen Phillips

Although Dan Erickson’s “Severance” is rife with cynicism and corporate humor, it differs drastically from a workplace satire. “Severance” is ultimately a work of science fiction. The show grants insight into the depths of human psychology and emotion. The workplace of “Severance,” biotech corporation Lumon, is a strange backdrop.
Double Trouble: Harrison Keith ’27 excels on the lacrosse and football fields

2 months ago | thedartmouth.com | Cesar Hernandez |César Hernández

Harrison Keith ’27 has been playing lacrosse for as long as he can remember. He began his career in second grade and continued into high school, where he played as a starting offensive midfielder for Choate Rosemary Hall. At Choate, he also started on the football team as a safety. Despite his love for both sports, Keith knew that pursuing football in college would be the right decision — his recruitment status for football was better.
Reflection: Dine and Shine, Dartmouth

2 months ago | thedartmouth.com | Leila Brady

A dim light and muffled chatter fill the dark side of the Class of 1953 Commons. I sit across from my friend as we talk about the lives of people we don’t know. Our heads are on a swivel, scanning the space out of habit. I look down at my meal. It’s what I’ve been getting every night for the past few weeks: rice and chicken coated in teriyaki sauce, alongside a salad with balsamic vinegar and too many red pepper flakes. Foco is like a microcosm of Dartmouth.
