Ackerman tells her class that early congregants saw him as a pious preacher with extraordinary charisma. Students later regarded him as a jovial partier who liked to lounge by a massive keg hoisting mugs of rum with Native Americans, as he is depicted in the Hovey murals. “Wheelock obviously didn’t show up with 500 gallons of rum,” says Ackerman, who earned her master’s in theology and a Ph.D. in Near Eastern languages and civilizations at Harvard. “When people tell stories about founder figures, they tell them in a larger-than-life way.

But Ackerman says that as the Col- lege became less focused on its Christian mission, as witnessed by the end of man- datory chapel attendance in 1925, Baker’s central location reflected Dartmouth’s shift toward more secular values. Religions also use rituals such as baptism, communion, and bar mitzvah Warner Hill Farm - Near Woodstock • Reading, VT Jericho Brook Farm - Bucolic Setting Close to Hanover • Hartford, VT to mark initiation into the group. Dart- mouth’s bonfire serves the same function, according to Ackerman. Lucy Turnipseed ’22 felt disappointed her class was forbid- den to run laps around it. “We were so sad that we only got to walk one lap,” she says. Safety concerns won over age-old tradi- tion. At least that’s what many students and alumni believe. “It’s so curious to me, because when I was an undergraduate there was no such thing as running around the bonfire,” says Ackerman, who notes that the annual ritual Foothouse - Private Swimming Pond • Hanover, NH Mont Hill - Private Location • Landgrove, VT Marcia Lane - Exceptional Views • Dorset, VT began in 1989.

The student-led sports tradition continued, and in 1895 the College first recognized these blazing pyres as a way to “initiate freshmen into the community,” according to President William Jewett Tucker. Many traditions meant to convey unchanging timelessness change all the time, she says, just as narratives about religious founders shift to fit storytellers’ agendas.

CONTINUING ED what i’ve learned since graduation

Sharon Washington ’81 On acting and stagecraft

Interview by LISA FURLONG

“I thought I would join the foreign service and work in a French- speaking African country. I never thought theater could be a career. You don’t watch your parents struggle to put you through college and then tell them you plan to be an actor.”

“What I got from Dartmouth was the ability to be comfortable in any environment. There were other students of color who felt dropped into a totally different culture. We supported each other and became a very tight-knit community. I was better prepared than some because I attended [the New York City prep school] Dalton.”

“When I started Dalton in third grade, I didn’t know how dif- ferent the other kids were from me. Much later I realized not everybody’s birthday party is at the Paramount Studios screening room. Not everyone can close down FAO Schwarz for an evening.”

“The summer before senior year I decided to see which alums were in the theater. It was all about finding a job with a steady paycheck. I talked to Barry Grove ’73, managing director of Manhattan Theatre Club, who gave me a job in the box office. Later I was his assistant for two years. It was incredibly useful to see what goes on behind the scenes.”

“My play began as a book that people suggested I should write h o t g r
