Back at Dartmouth!

I just got back to Dartmouth a few days ago-- and moved into my new dorm. Compared to McLane, the Fayerweathers aren't that great, but they do have a touch of Dartmouth's history! On the back of my dorm room door there's a sign that gives instructions in case of an air raid!

I LOVE my roommates this year-- Annie Chen and Roanna Wang. Our room is a two room double with a relatively spacious living room and a slightly more cramped inside sleeping room. Regardless, I know that this year is going to be A LOT of fun!

Classes start on Wednesday. I am so excited!

The Alma Mater

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the college on the hill!
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her,
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though 'round the girdled earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains;
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill-winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.

Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch
Lest the old traditions fail!
Stand as sister stands by brother!
Dare a deed for the old Mother!
Greet the world, from the hills, with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith;
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill-winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death.
