The Burning of Dartmouth Hall Dartmouth Hall burned down in Feb- ruary of 1904; alumni quickly raised funds for a new building, its corner- stone laid by that October. It was cru- cial to rebuild the hall as fast as possi- ble as it was central to student life; it included a dormitory, a library, and classrooms. The hall was completed in 1906; further renovations were made to fireproof the building after it caught fire again in 1935. 1910 1920 1930 1935 Created in 1910 at the sugges- In January 1920, a group of Dart- What had started tion of DOC founder Fred mouth students gathered together Sanborn Tea Begins with just 16 tripees Harris, Class of 1911, what with the goal of restoring a rowing and a few trip lead- began as the “first field day of team to the College.

Fortunately, these students refused to give up, deter- mined as they were to take advantage of their proxim- ity to the Connecticut River. So, in April of 1920, they founded Ledyard Canoe Club. The new club chose John Ledyard for their namesake, a man who, in his first year as a Dartmouth student (Class of 1777), grew tired of his studies, felled a pine tree, dug out a canoe, and set off down the Connecticut to be- come an explorer. By 1921, their second year in exist- ence, the new organization had already retraced Le- dyard’s trip. This tradition continues today as the an- nual Trip to the Sea, which sends seniors traveling down the Connecticut River from Hanover to the Long Island Sound. 1937 1938 1939 1956 Moosilauke Ravine Lodge had been built as a ski lodge in Dartmouth skiway opens the 1938, just as the trails on Home of the Dartmouth Ski Mount Moosilauke were blazing Team, the Skiway has been Dartmouth’s position atop the host to NCAA championships new collegiate sport of downhill and scores of racers who went ski racing .

  • Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business
    Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business RECRUITMENT AND SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS What programs and initiatives has your school found successful in the recruitment of minority and/or female students? Achieving a diverse student body is critical in a globalized world where business demands that different voices, approaches and opinions are heard. The Tuck admissions office goes to great lengths to attract, select and matriculate a class of students to bring a variety of perspectives to the classroom and to student life. Our global business perspective means that we value differences—cultural, historical and social. Understanding the spectrum of experience and outlook is essential for leaders who will manage diverse work forces. Ensuring that everyone feels comfortable in the Tuck community accomplishes more than harmony; it improves the learning process. It is a critical component of our leadership development and it starts with the admissions process. The school competes at the highest levels on key factors that are important to all students, such as the talent and prestige of faculty, career opportunities for graduates and depth and breadth of curriculum. Yet Tuck also differs from other top business schools in important ways that reflect the values of diverse groups including our focus, personal scale, emphasis on group learning and teamwork and the extraordinary levels of involvement and support we receive from our alumni family. Each year, Tuck admissions undertakes a wide variety of initiatives to attract a diverse group of applicants and enroll a diverse class. These initiatives include mailings to women, minority and international prospective students; receptions and meetings around the world for prospective students; participation in the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management; the minority and alumnae mentor programs; inviting admitted students to conferences, alumni events and the admitted student weekend in April; and organizing faculty, students and alumni to contact admitted students.

By David Holden Professor Theodore A. Wilson, Advisor The U.S. Army officer corps experienced an intellectual revolution following the experience of WWI that fundamental altered the relationship between man and machines in war. As a result, officers failed to develop the technology gene and began to think of war as being inherently quantitatively and technological based. This dissertation examines the relationship between technology and the U.S. Army and Navy officers specifically between 1900-1925. Furthermore, the treatise addresses the role of Frederick Taylor and the rise of scientific management within the U.S. Army and Navy. iii Acknowledgements In writing this dissertation, I received invaluable assistance and support from a number of people and organizations.

  • Our Green Future: the Sustainability Road Map for Dartmouth
    OUR GREEN FUTURE: THE SUSTAINABILITY ROAD MAP FOR DARTMOUTH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY President Hanlon has called on Dartmouth to play a leadership role in improving global sustainability and overcoming the challenges of climate change. The Sustainability Task Force has been charged with developing plans supportive of this goal. Although Dartmouth has substantially reduced campus energy use and made other significant advances over the last decade, we lag our peer institutions with respect to commitments, actions, and reporting in the sustainability domain. The best available science indicates that, in order to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees centigrade, greenhouse gas emissions must be decreased by at least 80% by 2050. Our report recommends principles, standards, and commitments in the areas of energy, waste and materials, water, food, transportation, and landscape and ecology. Energy is the largest contributor to Dartmouth's greenhouse gas emissions and is also the area where prior analysis best positions us to take action. We believe that providing 50% of campus energy from renewable sources by 2025 and 100% by 2050 is feasible. For campus operations other than energy, we recommend timelines for data gathering and goal-setting. Looking beyond campus operations, Dartmouth has opportunities to maximize our impact by initiatives involving integration of sustainability into our curriculum, out-of-classroom activities and research and scholarship. We believe that the tension between fiscal and operational constraints and sustainability imperatives is healthy. This tension focuses the tradeoffs and allows us to determine how we might gain the most benefit possible per unit of spending. Open discourse and continuous fine-tuning of our goals will allow our investments to produce the greatest possible impact, and enable us to build a model that can be sustained and replicated.

Performance Regimes and Marketing Policy Shifts Abstract Year after year, managers in mature markets strive to improve their performance. When successful, they can expect to continue executing on an established marketing strategy. However, when the results are disappointing, a change or turnaround strategy may be called for in order to help performance get back on track. In such case, performance diagnostics are needed to identify turnarounds and to quantify the role of marketing actions in this process. This paper introduces rolling-window tests and performance barometers to analyze how strategic windows of performance growth and decline alternate with long periods of performance stability. Applying this framework to a rich marketing dataset, the authors identify and interpret transitions between stable and trending performance regimes, and assess marketing's power to induce performance turnaround. The empirical analysis shows that, even in mature markets, performance stability is not the only business scenario.
