    Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 Professor of English Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Jane Carroll July 15, 1997 July 18, 1997 DOH-11 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Jeffrey Hart Interview INTERVIEW: Jeffrey Hart ʻ51 INTERVIEWED BY: Jane Carroll PLACE: Baker Library Hanover, New Hampshire DATE: July 15, 1997 CARROLL: Today is July 15, 1997, and I am speaking with Jeffrey Hart, Class of ʻ51 and Professor of English, Emeritus. I am curious how you came to choose Dartmouth as the institution for undergraduate learning. HART: It was chosen for me. My father went to Dartmouth, Class of 1921 [Clifford F. Brown ʻ21]. Then he went to Columbia School of Architecture and got his Bachelor of Architecture there; but he was extremely loyal to Dartmouth and I felt that his four years at Dartmouth were probably the happiest of his life. He always seemed to be seriously connected with Dartmouth and I was, as a matter of fact, registered or enrolled in the Class of whatever, enrolled at Dartmouth when I was born. So I grew up understanding that I would go to Dartmouth. However there was a bump in that road since I got heavily involved with junior competitive tennis and felt that I probably would like to go to Stanford. His position was that I could go to Stanford. That would be fine, but he wouldnʼt pay for it. [Laughter] I could go to Dartmouth or I could go to Harvard if I got a scholarship. I did get some kind of tuition break at Dartmouth and that was the best deal, and I was perfectly happy to go to Dartmouth.

  • Faith, Reason, and Vocation
    The Conference 2011 Wheelock integrating faith, reason, and vocation Saturday, May 7 Located at Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business www.wheelockconference.org 7 May 2011 The Dartmouth Apologia and The Eleazar Wheelock Society present The Wheelock Conference Integrating Faith, Reason, and Vocation Welcome We at the Dartmouth Apologia and the Eleazar Wheelock Society believe that the Christian worldview offers a rational, viable, and liberating foun- dation for integrating faith, learning, and life. In these organizations, we seek to: - elevate reason and academic rigor - stimulate constructive dialogue about faith - encourage ethical development in service and leadership - engage students, faculty, alumni, and community members in a network of mutually beneficial relationships, personal and professional We support students in the exploration of Christian thought, integrating life and learning, ethics and vocation, faith and reason. We develop learn- ing opportunities anchored in scholarly inquiry, historical accuracy, and critical thought. We believe that these opportunities will create an envi- ronment of intellectual curiosity and the authentic pursuit of truth. Stu- dents on the Dartmouth campus are already discovering the implications of the Christian faith on life’s moral, vocational, and civic dimensions. In April 2010, we hosted the inaugural Wheelock Conference, bring- ing together prominent alumni and leading scholars to share how they integrate faith and reason to find meaning and purpose in their voca- tions. For students, the conference introduced a new kind of dialogue, one that engages the heart and mind together. This year, we hope to expand on this beginning by offering new sessions and extended time for networking and interaction, and engaging participants from across the Dartmouth community.
