THE DARTMOUTH EXPERIENCE Ask Any Member of the Dartmouth Family to Define This Phrase, and Most Will Struggle for the Precise Words DARTMOUTH COLLEGE R OWING 2007-08 THE DARTMOUTH EXPERIENCE Ask any member of the Dartmouth family to define this phrase, and most will struggle for the precise words. That's because every Dartmouth Experience, like every log in the Homecoming bonfire and every snowflake in the Winter Carnival snow sculpture, is somewhat similar yet distinctly different. The Dartmouth Experience is formed by the College's many traditions, like Dartmouth Outing Club Trips in the New Hampshire wilderness, where the newest members of the Dartmouth community are baptized and bonded through hiking boots, backpacks, trail mix - and friendships. Or when the entire freshman class dons jerseys emblazoned with their class year and stands for an entire football game. It's also the multitude of encounters that flavor everyday life at Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Experience comes in the classroom and late-night study ses- sions in the '02 Room in Baker Library, when 200 pages of reading suddenly makes perfect sense. It's the camaraderie on the river, in the locker room and on the bus rides back to Hanover after a race. It's thoughtful discussions with some of the nation's brightest minds, who turn out to be peers as well as professors. It's criss-crossing the trails at the Dartmouth Skiway, hiking to the top of Mount Moosilauke or walking along scenic Occom Pond. It's watching as the bulk of your TABLE OF CONTENTS wardrobe of sweatshirts and sweaters gradually is transformed into one predominant color - Dartmouth green. The Dartmouth Experience . .1 It's pepperoni pizza with dorm mates on Thursday night and all-you-can-eat brunch in Thayer Dining Center on Sunday morning. It's the chill that goes up your This is Dartmouth College . ..2 spine and the feeling of pride that overwhelms you during the singing of the Alma Mater.
