After being evicted from its offices at Zeta Psi fraternity in the wake of a zoning board dispute with the Town of Hanover [TDR, 3/4/04], The Review prepares to move into new offices at the Campion Building on Main Street this weekend. The paper will hold court in a second-floor, one-room conference chamber with a lofty, vaulted ceiling. According to former Review President Harry Camp '04, "Mr. Campion has been very accommodating, and we appreciate his offering us this fine corporate space from which to operate." Meetings will resume in the new office starting Monday at 6 P.M.
February 28th marked this year's installment of the TDR Changeover Dinner, where senior editors pass the reigns of the paper to the rising seniors just in time for Spring term. This year the day's festivities began with a cocktail party at Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity, followed by a dinner at the Alden Country Inn in Lyme, New Hampshire.
For the first time in TDR history, a school bus was rented to transport the staff to and from the Inn, which made for a trip more interesting than anyone could recall from their days in elementary school. Arriving at the Inn, the upperclassmen of the staff enjoyed a selection of wines and cocktails while the kiddie staffers settled for soda.
In attendance were former Review Editor James Panero and Professor Emeritus Jeffrey Hart, who serves on the Review advisory board and was a key figure in the launch of the paper in 1980. Professor Hart lent the event some interesting words, defending the government and alluding to the thoughts of fellow National Review contributor Victor Davis Hanson on war and the West.
Then, after all of the senior staffers reminisced on a long year which saw the paper moving in and out of its Zete offices, they offered the best of their advice to the new Editor in Chief, Joseph Rago '05. Camp said that, "As much as this night is for the seniors going out, it is also for the new leaders coming in. This is your organization now. I think we've left the Review in better shape than we found it, and I feel very confident [the new staff] will fulfill your responsibility to take it to even greater heights in the coming year."
