New Prospects

Ah, it's Spring Term. As beautiful as it is on campus, and as excited as I am about taking new and challenging courses, I must say that today I am excited for a completely different reason.

Today March 30th, 2011 at 5 pm eastern time, Dartmouth will embrace a new group of prospective 2015s. Brilliant academically, and unique in their perspectives and extracurricular activities, this group of students will have some important decisions to make.

As a 2013 (a sophomore), I am eager to welcome these prospective students-- and am eager to show them what wonderful resources Dartmouth has to offer!

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.
