The Valley News has announced that Maurice L. Johnson '13 has been arrested in regard to the recently reported theft in Phil Delt. Johnson is listed by RealTalk as one of its campaign members. He is being held in the Grafton County Correctional Facility. To date RealTalk has not justified Johnson's alleged crime as a protest against the College.

We saw Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street- Rainy Weather 1877 at the Met in New York as part of the Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity show (it will be there until the 27th). Normally the painting hangs at the Art Institute Of Chicago. A moment of recognition ran through us: "That's our street!" Of course, Caillebotte seemed to take some liberties with the composition, but the various avenues and streets that converge on his central traffic circle closely resemble our neighborhood.
But there is a problem with our conclusion: Caillebotte painted his work in 1877, and our building -- the second from the left -- was built in 1899-1900. The building furthest to the left, almost out of view, was constructed in 1907, on ground where Victor Hugo had his residence until his death in 1885.
Oh well.
Addendum: Wikipedia, in its infinite wisdom, reports that the painting "depicts the Place de Dublin, an intersection near the Gare Saint-Lazare, a railroad station in north Paris," which is a little more than two miles from our neighborhood.

Subject: Dartmouth Safety and Security Alert Update
This is update to the earlier Dartmouth Safety and Security Alert sent at 6:39PM today. The student involved in the incident below has been arrested by Hanover Police and is incarcerated in the Grafton County Correctional Facility. See below:
An alumnus has reported that on May 17th 2013 at approximately 1:57 AM a student entered a room where he was sleeping and made inappropriate contact with him while removing cash and valuables from the room.
Hanover Police and Safety and Security have identified the student and valuables have been recovered. The investigation is ongoing.
Rumors are flying around Hanover that the perpetrator is a prominent member of the RealTalk movement, but to date no information on the identity of the arrested person has been forthcoming from the Town of Hanover Police department. It seems that the theft took place in the Phi Delt fraternity, and the thief forced his way past a number of brothers as he fled.
Addendum: The rape charge against Parker Gilbert '16 has made the papers as far away as San Francisco. The additional incident described above will undoubtedly keep Dartmouth in the news.
