Hosanna
I thought it in poor form to mention Dartblog’s contention while adjudging was underway, but now that America’s Future Foundation, the excellent Washington-based classically liberal think tank, has conferred upon Dartblog the title of “Best Conservative or Libertarian College Blog,” I ought to thank the Foundation for sponsoring such a bold contest. Print subversion, with excellent underwriters like the Collegiate Network, already have ample institutional support. Conservative and libertarian publications based on the Internet, although they are home to some of the most significant campus reportage, are frequently overlooked.
The other college blogs named as finalists are: GOP3.com (Marquette University), The Oregon Commentator (University of Oregon), California Patriot Blog (University of California, Berkeley), The Irish Rover (University of Notre Dame), The Critical Badger (University of Wisconsin-Madison), The Claremont Conservative (Claremont McKenna College), Panther Talk Live (University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee), Surveillance State (Indiana University Bloomington), and On Life and Lybberty (Brigham Young University & University College London).
These are all superlative publications which have made considerable impacts on their campuses. The Oregon Commentator earned a second place prize, and Surveillance State earned honorable mention.
Mille mercis to David Kirby at AFF, who presided over the contest; and to the judges: National Review’s Jonah Goldberg, The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle, Reason’s Radley Balko, Heritage’s Rob Bluey, Volokh Conspiracy’s Jonathan Adler, Townhall’s Mary Katharine Ham, and Instapundit’s Glenn Reynolds.

How Regents Should Reign
As Dartmouth alumni proceed through the legal hoops necessary to defuse a Board-packing plan—which put in unhappy desuetude an historic 1891 Agreement between alumni and the College guaranteeing a half-democratically-elected Board of Trustees—it strikes one… -

Fare Thee Well, Tom Crady
And now Dean Tom Crady has precipitously announced his departure from the College after only 20 months on the job. How to read this? By way of background, prior to coming to Dartmouth, Crady had… -

Kangaroo Court, Indeed
In an interview with The Dartmouth, alumni-elected trustee T.J. Rodgers ‘70 explained his reasons for declining to participate in future evaluations of trustees up for “re-election,” namely the “kangaroo court” nature of such discussion in…
