TDR Exclusive Interview: Peter KreeftEditor’s note: Last spring, Boston College’s Peter Kreeft visited Dartmouth to give a talk honoring St. Catherine of Siena. Professor Kreeft teaches philosophy at Boston College and is the renowned author of over 45 books. He sat down with The Dartmouth Review at that point to discuss the role of religion on a college campus. Indian Football Week ThreeThe Indians came out a little slow, and as Coach Buddy Teevens described, “a little wide-eyed.” The class of 1979, winners of the 1978 Ivy League Championship, were there to root on the Indians but the team that Coach Teevens led to the promised land did not bring luck to the current squad of players. Dartmouth’s Five New TrusteesThe heated discussion of the merits of parity versus diversity on the Board of Trustees seems to be moot for the time being. So who are the five new men and women that Haldeman & Co. has decided are the best possible stewards of the College’s mission? Tucker’s Refound Mission: Morality and Religion at the CollegeWith religion so besieged, the Tucker Foundation, the very organization created to foster religious life at Dartmouth, seems uninterested in creating campus-wide dialogue and debate on religious issues. The Dartmouth Review: A HistoryEditor’s note: For the benefit of the freshmen, below is a brief history of The Dartmouth Review. Upon reading this, if freshmen are interested in joining ranks with us, but missed our freshman open house, stop by our office for our weekly meeting: 6:30 p.m., Monday nights, 38 South Main Street (behind Ledyard Bank). Orientation: A Pea Green’s ThoughtsAh, Orientation—days we’ll always remember, nights we don’t, or wish we could forget. Parents long left behind, open houses and “mandatory” assemblies galore, the miasma and melodies of fraternity basements beckoning like Sirens, and new neighbors to befriend and annoy and learn from. Dartmouth’s orientation, like the College itself, presented myriad possibilities. We Won’t Cancel Your SubscriptionDear Mr. Herlihy: Sorry. English, political science, history, mathematics, humanities, and Japanese are not quite enough. But don’t give up, Herlihy. Don’t ever give up.—WFB For a Flexible Drinking AgeCall it the rule of common sense: safety and other considerations are given priority over legal interpretations that produce unduly harsh results. Rosenstock-Huessy Returns...Rosenstock, as we called him, made me take Christianity seriously for the first time. Both of my parents were Catholics, my mother remaining loyal to the Church, but my father (Dartmouth ’21), though he went to a Catholic prep school, thought the whole thing was a lot of nonsense. The Last WordI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. Barrett's MixologyCorpse Reviver 2 oz Gilbey’s Gin |
Ending the Secularist CrusadeThese days, very little remains of Wheelock’s grand religious vision. Since the retirement of President William Jewett Tucker in 1909, for whom the Tucker Foundation (devoted to morality and spirituality) was named, the religious imperative of the College has waned.
