Those Aren't Books in There

When President Eisenhower received his honorary degree in 1953, he described Dartmouth as "What a College Should Look Like." That description is even more fitting today, in every way. Take a look at the Homecoming bonfire from Friday evening, as shown in The Dartmouth:


Would that the football team could improve just a bit more to win the game the next day. The post's title is a reference to the famous statement Eisenhower made to the students that day. Read the context here.

Fortunately for Dartmouth the Joseph McCarthy-loving Ann Coulter attended Cornell.

Could someone please tell me what
Ann Coulter has to do with today's

You really got to wonder what Ann Coulter was thinking. She really needs to shut up. I saw her running her mouth over at moneygrabber
last week as well
