Dodd Fires Up Primary Season

Despite being a lofty sixty-two years of age, Dodd has managed to produce two daughters, aged five years and twenty-two months. He joked about how he receives both “AARP letters and flyers on how to save on diapers.”

Education, Defined (Subjectively)

We should reject the notion that we as individuals should embrace empathy with others as our primary concern, or that it should be the foundation of a liberal arts education. It’s a very good intention, and I’ll be sure to give it due notice when I see it on my way to hell.

Finding Education at Dartmouth

The courses you need are right there in the ORC, often surrounded by nonessentials and even outright garbage. Dartmouth will not tell you what the right courses are, but then that doesn’t matter — because I have just done so.

The American Conservative Mind And the Failure of George W. Bush

Editor’s Note: The following is the excerpted from the preface of The Making of the American Conservative Mind, by professor emeritus Jeffrey Hart. The book details the American conservative movement from Eisenhower to the present time through the eyes of National Review, where Hart is a senior editor. The book is available at most book stores in both hardback and paperback from ISI publishing.

The Tim and Adam Show: Low Stakes Poker

Upon the unveiling of the “official” sketch of the “Dartmoose” (a “cool” moose giving a thumbs up with his Dartmouth jersey on), a person in attendance loudly pointed out that moose don’t have thumbs, filling the hall with laughter the rest of the presentation was lost in loud arguments between audience members, accompanied by either cheering or hissing.

Hockey Turns Around with 3 in a Row

Dartmouth rose to the occasion in the third period, rifling off three goals in less than four minutes. Among the scorers was Joey Gaudet ’10 with his first collegiate goal. The Green pummeled the Canisius goal, taking 44 shots on the night to just 20 for the Griffins.
