The Ivy League the Drawbacks of Affirmative Action), Serious Misconceptions (I.E
IN ENGLISH USA. For instance, Yale’s roots can be traced back to 1640s when the idea of preserving educational tradition in the New World emerged. The Reverend Ele- azar Wheelock, the founder of Dartmo- uth, had originally aimed at educating Native Americans (Moor's Charity School in Lebanon, Connecticut). American institutions of higher edu- cation are widely considered as the world’s leaders in both innovation and development, as well as educational opportunities. Surprising as it may se- em, it was Massachusetts that imposed requirements on towns with more than 50 families to provide schools at public expense, establishing the world’s first compulsory free schools in the late 17th century (Stevenson, 1998). Most people dream of studying in the USA, admitting in unison that the best career oppor- tunities are provided by American Uni- versities. Although the whole American educational system is full of myths (i.e. The Ivy League the drawbacks of Affirmative Action), serious misconceptions (i.e. spelling er- How important is the year 1636 in the history of the USA? rors can be considered as the student’s creativeness rather than laziness), and It was in that year that the first institution of higher educa- false images, the universities are and will prevail the source of success and self-re- tion was founded in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, North alization.

Telling Our Story
Tel l i ng Our Story What makes Dartmouth an experience like no other? Why does Dartmouth matter out of proportion to its size? What makes Dartmouth ... Dartmouth? The answers to these questions—the defining fundamentals of our story—come not from outside experts but from within our own community: students, faculty, staff, and alumni who so eloquently articulate what makes Dartmouth distinctive. From them come the language, tone, and proof points for the pages that follow. To celebrate what makes Dartmouth different in a way that resonates and sticks, we must be clear and consistent. To motivate those who know us best and introduce ourselves to those who don’t yet know us at all, we must be proud and unapologetic. To tell our story with confidence, we must embrace who we are. This book provides the tools for you, as an ambassador for Dartmouth, to do just that: to share with the world what makes Dartmouth … Dartmouth. 1 Telling Our Story Our Mission Dartmouth College educates the most promising students and prepares them for a lifetime of learning and of responsible leadership, through a faculty dedicated to teaching and the creation of knowledge. 2 3 Telling Our Story The Strategic Communications Framework There are lots of facts and stats that document what makes Dartmouth great.

Author: Kathryn Paisner Layout: Lily Li [1] © Copyright 2012 IP Checkups, Inc. Abstract Ivy League universities are world-famous for their academics, but how do they stack up in the tech transfer department? In this report, IPC explores patenting trends at the eight Ivy League schools (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale), including data on top inventors, annual filing rates, overall issuance rates, and the most heavily-patented areas of research. [2] © Copyright 2012 IP Checkups, Inc. PART I. Patent Filing Rates All Ivy League universities filed more patents in 2010 than in 1980; however, most of this growth in patent filing occurred prior to 2008. The two leaders in patenting, over this period, were Cornell and Columbia, with Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania vying for a close second place. With the exception of Cornell, all of these schools filed far fewer patents in 2010 than they did in 2007; Cornell's peak filing year was 2006.Patent filings at most Ivy League schools either decreased or remained static, post-2007: only Princeton and Cornell showed an upward trend in patent filings, over this period. # " ! &% &% &%" &%$ &%% && && &&" &&$ &&% " $ % Patent filing velocity by year, across WIPO, US, Japanese abstracts in English, and European patent publications [3] © Copyright 2012 IP Checkups, Inc.
