First Impressions

hat does it mean to have a liberal arts education? Is it important that students earning a Dartmouth diploma learn about issues surrounding diversity? Although a smaller part of the newly released Committee on Institutional Diversity and Equity Report, the recommendation to incorporate diversity into the curriculum of Dartmouth College is crucial. I support this [...]

Beyond the Numbers
02 July 2001
s in the past, Dartmouth must be a place of opportunity for students of all backgrounds. It is hard to imagine education occurring in an environment that is fully like-minded and homogeneous.

Letters to the Editorial Board
02 July 2001
’ve got a bit of a beef with your name. Free Press, eh? Come on kids, what happened to the real spirit of liberalism? Your paper is as meaningfully different from the Review as A is from B. If I want ostensibly offensive rhetoric, I’ll read the Review. If I want [...]
