According to IvyGate, graduating seniors with aspirations of making it on Wall Street should re-evaluate their short-term career goals–as soon as possible.
Speaking to an unidentified Ivy-Leaguer-turned-investment-banker, Dan Haley confirmed that, due to the current economic climate, internships at financial firms have become the unicorn of th...
Last week, the Nixon Library released over 198 hours of President Richard Nixon ranting and raving about--more or less--everything.
From the press to the Ivy League, Old Dick Nixon hated it all, and he wasn’t afraid to let everyone within an earshot know it—whether they cared to listen or not.
Thankfully, the mad ramblings of this presidenti...
Facebook and MySpace ruin lives—well, at least the lives of those who foolishly post incriminating pictures and/or objectionable information on their own profiles.
Case and point: Reiko Ohnuma, an associate professor at Dartmouth specializing—and I use that term loosely—in the Buddhist tradition of South Asia, until recently had an open Facebo...
On Saturday morning, a small fire broke out in the basement of the Chi Gamma Epsilon fraternity house, and according to the Hanover Police Chief, it was not accidental.
According to the police report, the blaze erupted sometime around 6:00 a.m., but it was extinguished before any major damage could occur. While no one was injured, police disco...
Yesterday, the ever-smug Princetonians patted themselves on the back after President-elect Barack Obama announced that two of their own would be joining his administration, and soon, Dartmouth is hoping to do the same.
According to several reports, Timothy Geithner ’83 has appeared at the top of Obama’s short list of Treasury secretary candida...
Talk about being ungraceful.
Republican Carol Elliott lost her bid for her fourth term as country treasurer for Grafton County, MSNBC and The Dartmouth reports. What is remarkable is that she lost to a 20-year-old junior at Dartmouth from Big Sky, Montana. Vanessa Sievers, who is set to graduate with a degree in geography and history in 2010, ...
Last night’s episode of NBC’s hit television series The Office focused on three distinct storylines: Pam meeting Jim’s brothers, Michael and Holly breaking up, and Dwight Schrute sporting Cornell apparel in order to upset Andy, the man currently engaged to his lost love, Angela.
Of the three, the latter narrative brought viewers and Ivy League...
Periodically, I encourage everyone to sift through the Craigslist Personals for their hometown. The things you find in there will shock, amaze and appall you – all at the same time.
Hanover, the home of Dartmouth College, is no exception to this tried-and-true rule. Simply searching for the keyword “Dartmouth” returned a startling number of st...
Kal Penn (Harold and KUMAR Go To White Castle), Justin Long (the Mac guy), and Olivia Wilde (House, the OC) made an appearance Sunday afternoon in Fahey-McLane to talk about how much they love Barack Obama and how students can make a difference.
For those who missed them, that's too bad because after all three gave their speeches, they strippe...
Before viewing the rankings, let’s put things into perspective. Many Europeans have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to their education system, and they get offended when someone from the United States claims to have a larger one on theirs.
Case and point: On October 1st, an OTR editor declared that Harvard, Columbia and the University o...
Did you know that there is a third candidate running for president of the United States?
Of course you didn’t, because no one cares about a non-Republican, non-Democratic nominee.
Still, rest assured, there is one, and his name is Ralph Nader.
On Monday, Nader, who is running as an independent in his fourth consecutive presidential bid, he...
How do you kill your social life in less than 1000 words? One of our very own Dartmouth 'shmen has done the impossible.
I rarely read The D, but they do print an occasional article that calls for attention. Much like the one printed Tuesday in the Opinions column by freshman Gabrielle (Gabi) Tudin. The article she wrote was quickly passed alon...
Streaking has been a tradition at colleges for decades and our generation holds up Frank the Tank as the mascot for these activities.
And why not? What’s not to like about the stray hot blond chick running across the football field? (Though let’s be honest, it’s more often a less-than-hot drunk guy). But some schools’ students have gone above ...
Trojan Condoms released their third annual Sexual Health Report Card today, and the Ivy League took two of the top five spots and placed favorably overall.
For the uninitiated, the Sexual Health Report Card ranks 130 colleges and universities based on the quality and availability of sexual health services and resources on campus. And so, in th...
The 2009 College Sustainability Report, also known as the “Green Report Card,” is finally out. And so, let’s all take a break from ogling gorgeous celebrities to evaluate a much more serious set of Ivy League rankings.
For the uninitiated, the annualized Report Card measures the sustainability – i.e. a school’s ability to meet “the needs of th...
With her heartfelt “eye-tits” article, Liana Mancini, Cornell ’09, proved that some Ivy Leaguers – at least, those in Ithaca – understand the concept of “sex.” Too bad the same cannot be said about those at Dartmouth.
Several days ago, The Dartmouth Review published an article written by Preston Q. R. Primrose that recounts the author’s allege...
Were your hopes and dreams shattered when you received a rejection letter from Yale? If so, join the Dartmouth Yale Enthusiasts today, because you’re not alone.
For the uninitiated, the DYE is a totally-real-and-not-fictitious* student group comprised of Dartmouth freshmen who failed to get into Yale but have vowed to not stop trying.
That’s...
According to Dartmouth’s humor magazine Jack-O-Lantern, the College’s beloved, chronically intoxicated unofficial mascot, Keggy the Keg, went missing sometime in late August – the victim of an apparent kidnapping.
As Keggy’s caretakers were away from Dartmouth during the summer, his abduction went unnoticed until students returned last week fo...
Fact or Fiction:
According to urban legend, a Princeton graduate, who worked on Wall Street at the time, went into a New York City bank and asked for a $5,000 loan.
When the loan officer asked him why he needed the money, the man responded, “I’m going to India on business for two weeks and desperately need the loan to cover my flight and hot...
Long ago, a student at Cornell drowned in the Cascadilla Gorge near the school, which resulted in all the Ivy League universities adopting a mandatory swim test – at least, that is how the urban legend goes at Columbia. Today, only three Ivies – Cornell, Columbia and Dartmouth – still have the requirement, but the others may have to adopt it yet...
