    Asher M. Daniel ’17 Dartmouth College Oral History Program SpeakOut November 11, 2018 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [ELIZABETH A.] JANOWSKI: Hello. This is Elizabeth [A.] Janowski from the Dartmouth College Class of 2021. Today is November 11th, 2018, and the current time is 12:24 p.m. I’m here in Baker-Berry Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, speaking with Asher [M.] Daniel, a former Dartmouth College student from the fall of 2013 to the winter of 2018. Asher is speaking with me from his home in Chelsea, Oklahoma. The following interview is part of the Rauner [Special Collections] Library’s SpeakOut projects, an oral history project focused on recording the memories and experiences of Dartmouth’s LGBTQIA+ community. So, all right, Asher, I thought we could start at the very beginning, and let’s just talk about where home is to you. So where were you born, and where did you grow up? DANIEL: Well, I was born not too far from where I’m at right now. I was born in a small hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma, and then proceeded to grow up in the little town of Chelsea. I think it was, like, only 200 people here. Quite a little small town, where I lived until I left for school. Very small little community, very close knit. A little interesting. My family did not fit in the most, but we’re—my—none—none of my family—like some other families was from a small town. My mom was from California. My dad grew up in Arkansas.

  • Sharang Biswas '12 Dartmouth College Oral History Program
    Sharang Biswas ’12 Dartmouth College Oral History Program Dartmouth Community and Dartmouth’s World May 12, 2013 WOMICK: So to get us started off, my name is Cally Womick, and I’m here with Sharang Biswas. We are in Collis, and today is Sunday, May 12th, 2013. So to get us started, why don’t you talk about where you grew up? BISWAS: So I was born in New Delhi, India, and I spent the first few years of my life there. Then there was a period where I moved back and forth from the United Arab Emirates and India, so I spent, like, a year in the UAE and then came back and then a year and came back. It’s actually very confusing. Then, when I was, like, 7-ish, we again move to the UAE and stayed there, so from 7 ‘til I came to Dartmouth, I was in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. WOMICK: Okay. What kind of schools did you attend? BISWAS: So in India, I attended a little bit of a—kind of an elite private school, G.D. Goenka Public School, so in India it used the British system, and a “public” school in that system is equivalent to a “private” school here, while I know in England a “government” school is what would be a “public” school here, so it’s called G.D. Goenka Public School, but it’s a private school. We had to wear, like, blazers. Like, I had a red blazer. I learned what the word “blazer” was.

  • Thomas E. Kurtz Professor of Mathematics and Computer
    Thomas E. Kurtz Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, Emeritus An Interview Conducted by Daniel Daily Hanover, New Hampshire June 20, 2002 July 2, 2002 DOH-44 Special Collections Dartmouth College Hanover, New Hampshire Thomas Kurtz Interview INTERVIEWEE: Thomas Kurtz INTERVIEWER: Daniel Daily PLACE: Hanover, NH DATE: June 20, 2002 DAILY: Today is June 20, 2002 and I am speaking with Professor Emeritus Thomas Kurtz. Professor Kurtz, one of the first questions I would like to ask is what brought you to Dartmouth and specifically the math department here? KURTZ: It was primarily the attraction of the geographical area. I was a graduate student at Princeton and, incidentally, at one point I lived less than a block from the Kemenys [John G. and Jean Kemeny], but I didnʼt know them down there because we were in different spheres. I think by that time he was a junior faculty member of philosophy and I was a lowly graduate student in mathematics. At any rate, in the summer of 1955, my first wife and I and our family came up to Hanover to visit people who we knew down at Princeton, particularly Bob [Robert] and Anita Norman who had moved up here. He had taken a position in the math department -- or was here for the summer at least -- and [J.] Laurie and Joan Snell, whom we knew quite well at Princeton. So we came up and spent a week…I donʼt know…and thought, “Gee, this is a lovely part of the country.” I had previously thought, “Well, obviously I am going to go out west where men are men and women are glad of it type of thing in the mountains." Then, I think it was about March of the year I was scheduled to finish my degree at Princeton and I had mentioned something about wanting to go to Dartmouth because one of my friends had said that Kemeny was in town recruiting.

  • Fraternities & Sororities
    Guide to Fraternities & Sororities 2011-2012 GreetinGs from Fraternity & sorority Affairs! Welcome to the university of Rochester Fraternity and Sorority community! Whether you are a fraternity/sorority member, a prospective member, a parent, faculty or staff member, student, or a guest of the university, we are happy to welcome and introduce you to the unique, and award-winning, community of fraternities/sororities in the College. The uR fraternity/sorority system is aligned with the educational philosophy of the College. due to the intentional connection to the academic mission of the College, the organizations appreciate the value of being a part of a learning community. We support a framework that assumes fraternities and sororities can and want to be successful and that the College’s role is to expect and to provide support for their success. The system stresses the importance of autonomy of action within a framework of shared systems, goals, and objectives (expectations for excellence). We believe our success-driven model represents a unique and effective model for the university of Rochester. We are proud of the success achieved by both our chapters and individual members. Annually uR chapters and members are recognized with top national awards for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, programming, service, and risk management. Many members of our fraternity/sorority community are also leaders of a variety of organizations on campus including, but not limited to, Student Government, Class Councils, cultural groups, and academic undergraduate councils. We are fortunate to have many faculty and staff, including thed ean of Students, the dean of Freshmen, and the dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, involved as Chapter Advocates who volunteer to assist organizations in planning and implementing their expectations for excellence and related programs.
