Wonderful Afternoons at Dartmouth
The weather at Dartmouth has been absolutely gorgeous for the past week, mid-70s, not a cloud in the sky, and sunny enough to burn a little. Perfect weather for baseball, I might add, and also to make a favorable impression on prospective students who visited Dartmouth this past weekend for Dimensions, and to just generally enjoy life.
On this last point, as Joe mentioned, Collis Porch (see below) was just right over the weekend for a smoke. I enjoyed a Perdomo Lot 23, a fine smoke with a wrapper from my home state of Connecticut. I must say, though, I was a little jealous as Joe enjoyed a Montecristo No. 4, imported from overseas. All in all, a fine smoke and a beautiful weekend, reflecting on the fact that there is no place I would rather be than dear old Dartmouth.

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…
