Minary Center: Yours for Nine Million
If you are in the market for an eleven bedroom home, the College has one for sale. It has a large family room with a walk-in stone fireplace, a four season glassed-in porch overlooking Squam Lake, a breakfast room with a stone floor that opens to an exterior stone patio, beamed ceilings, rich paneled walls, numerous fireplaces and lead-paned casement windows. Additionally, a grand two-bay boat house with a finished room and half-bath is centrally located on the 675’ of shoreline.
Take a look at the real estate ad for the Minari Center, one of the College’s most beautiful properties. As you can see from the below, this type of place is clearly out of synch with the spirit of modern Dartmouth.
Note: Quite amazingly, I have never seen any kind of advertisement offering the Minari Center for rent. A little commercial energy goes a long in seeking to make a place like this pay for itself.

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…
