Class Newsletter―Spring Issue, June 2019 Class Newsletter―Spring Issue, June 2019 News From, and About, the College “The best-laid plans . .” The College has begun work on a new master plan for the next 20 years. Bill Sjogren sent us a link for the story: https://www.dartmouth.edu/~master- plan/?fbclid=IwAR1BgBn5m7_XW4gsqkBC5rW_H2ZR40B3hqfaPlgyBaT3b4meliSrD617RDk. For a student take on the project, go to https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-master-plan. The Hood (continued). Boston’s WGBY (PBS) television station devoted about 6 minutes to the New Hood in its “Open Studio with Jared Brown” show on March 29. You can see it here, and get a glimpse of the 67 Gal- lery along the way: https://www.wgbh.org/news/arts/2019/04/04/arts-this-week-a-bronx-tale-and-the-new-hood- museum-of-art. You can also see a (very) short video showing the process of setting up the 67 Gallery’s first exhibit here: https://www.facebook.com/HoodMuseum/videos/424048175014065/. In an article about college museums, “Raising the Cultural Bar on Campuses,” The New York Times men- tioned the Hood and, notably, the nearly 7,000 objects in the museum’s Native American holdings: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/12/arts/college-university-museums.html 1 Woodsmoke. Continuing its commitment to sustainability, Dartmouth plans to build a new, $200 million biomass heating plant, operating not on oil but on “sustainably sourced waste-wood material from forestry and timber industries.” The project will be “financed, built, and operated by a private company in partnership with Dartmouth.” Here’s more: https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2019/01/new-biomass-plant-will-increase-dart- mouths-sustainability. And speaking of what to burn, the Dartmouth Outing Club has published another outstanding issue of its occasional magazine, Woodsmoke. You can see it, and/or download it, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/195BjitWyYjHrrTbWKXQ-nojqH2WuaENA/view. From the Department of Transparency . Dartmouth, apparently not under audit, has published its tax returns. A student article gives highlights, including information on executive salaries, at https://www.thedart- mouth.com/article/2019/05/dartmouths-tax-returns-show-high-exec-salaries-overseas-investments. Town and . um . gown? ΣAE’s long-running legal conflict with the Town of Hanover lives to fight another day. In late March, the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled against ΣAE on most of the issues, but ordered the Town to determine whether the fraternity qualifies as an “institution.” See https://www.thedart- mouth.com/article/2019/04/nh-supreme-court-rules-against-sae-legal-limbo-continues. “Know thyself.” Faculty and administrators serving on the College’s reaccreditation implementation group have completed a draft of Dartmouth’s “Institutional Self-Study Report.” The report reflects on how well Dart- mouth currently meets the standards for accreditation, and makes suggestions for improvement. You can view the 100+-page report at https://www.dartmouth.edu/~reaccreditation/pdf/neche_self_study_apr2019.pdf. “It is, Sir, as I have said, a small college . .” As part of the 250th anniversary celebration, the College staged a reenactment of the famed Dartmouth College Case (Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518 (1819)). Dartmouth won again. You can watch the full reenactment at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75zOxP8AzZg&t=5s. Or for a Cliff-Notes approach, watch Tom Burack ’82 portray Daniel Webster giving his famous peroration to the U.S. Supreme Court: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ24NE6MBz8&fea- “. and yet there are those who love it!” ture=youtu.be&utm_me- dium=app_email&utm_source=lp_app&utm_source=task_activ- ity&fbclid=IwAR3_F6_t1BJq1ZPwJqse_eYguV8RNx_f0Ry2ka8-Dskv8KwU2P-fpWdvkfw. That lawsuit (continued) and related matters. In April, President Phil Hanlon addressed a summit at the Naval Academy on sexual assault and sexual harassment at America’s colleges, universities, and service acade- mies. At the conference, Dartmouth was held up as a model for how an institution can take action to make its campus safer and more inclusive for all. See https://news.dartmouth.edu/news/2019/04/president-hanlon-ad- dresses-national-summit-sexual-misconduct?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Today&utm_cam- paign=e950139f6b-dartnews_today_2019_04_11&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_4ae973c30b- e950139f6b-391679741. At the beginning of May, two more former students of the Psychology and Brain Science (PBS) department joined the sexual misconduct lawsuit against Dartmouth. Some of the plaintiffs have used pseudonyms in court filings, and the College has sought a court ruling requiring identification of the parties. 2 On May 3, the Student and Presidential Committee on Sexual Assault sent President Hanlon a letter that criticized the College’s response to allegations of sexual misconduct by professors in the PBS department. The letter calls for receivership and reinvestigation of the department. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/arti- cle/2019/05/hanlon-responds-to-concerns-raised-about-pbs-department. The Concord Monitor reported on May 28 that the two sides have moved to stay the court proceedings while they attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation: https://www.concordmonitor.com/Dartmouth- women-want-mediation-in-sexual-misconduct-lawsuit-25862792. Other College News From the Department of Awesome Statistics: Dartmouth has been recognized for being a top producer of Fulbright scholars. The State Department reports that 13 Dartmouth students earned the honor for the 2018-19 year. See https://www.thedart- mouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-named-top-producer-of-fulbright-students. Eighteen Dartmouth sports teams recently received Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Awards—meaning that the College once again is a national leader in academic success from its athletes. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/05/mcgovern-mott-19s-athletes-academics. The Peace Corps has announced that Dartmouth Ranks Among the Highest Peace Corps Volunteer- Producing Schools―sixth among “small schools”―with more than 640 alums serving since the pro- gram was started in 1961. See https://alumni.dartmouth.edu/content/dartmouth-ranks-among-highest- peace-corps-volunteer-producing-schools?utm_source=Dartmouth+News+Weekly&utm_cam- paign=3191a18422-dartnews_weekly_2019_03_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0b7afd736b- 3191a18422-391544929. No “Varsity Greens,” apparently. Just before this year’s admissions decisions were announced, national attention was focused on the “Varsity Blues” college admission scandals at other colleges, in which faux ath- letes from wealthy families were allegedly welcomed into elite institutions after payment of bribes. The Daily D covered the story at http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/cano-privilege-and-progress-admissions- scandal-reactions. There is no sign of any such problem at Dartmouth. Nevertheless, the College has announced a new admis- sions protocol for athletic recruits: https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/04/college-to-alter-admissions- practice. A Daily D op-ed argued that, with one in five Dartmouth students engaged in athletics, “athletes should not have a special pipeline to admission.” See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/04/khan-ad- mitting-our-athletes. And speaking of admissions, Dartmouth offered acceptance to 7.9 percent of the applicants for the Class of 2023—an historic low, and a decrease of 0.8 percent from last year. The Dartmouth reported the results at http://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/03/dartmouth-admits-record-low-7-9-percent-of-applicants-to-class- of-2023. The acceptance rate has decreased for three years in a row. A record-high class of 23,650 applicants boiled down to 1,876 admissions. A record 16 percent of the admitted class of 1,876 prospective students are first-generation college students. Ninety-two of the accepted students matched with Dartmouth through Quest- Bridge, a program that helps low-income students find post-secondary educational opportunities. Fifty-one per- cent of the admitted U.S. citizens self-designate as people of color. About 40 percent of the new students come from low or middle-income families, which the Office of Ad- missions defines as a household with less than $200,000 in annual income. On May 18, CNBC published an article titled, “It costs $76,623 to go to Dartmouth—here’s how much students actually pay.” You can read it at https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/17/it-costs-76623-to-go-to-dartmouth--heres-how-much-students-pay.html, 3 or skip to the answer: under Dartmouth’s “need-blind” admissions regime, students from families with income under $100,000 get free tuition, and the average scholarship is $47,833, which cuts the cost to about $28,800. What makes the difference between paying that $76,623 sticker price and paying what the family can afford? In large part, YOU make the difference. In honor of the College’s 250th anniversary, the “250 for Dartmouth’s 250” initiative calls for alumni to donate a total of 250 endowed scholarships to students in need of financial aid by the end of the year. See https://www.thedartmouth.com/article/2019/02/250-new-scholar- ships, and note Head DCF Agent Joe Alviani’s invitation on page 22.

Paganucci, Class of 1953. PAGANUCCI: Tuck '54, etc. CARROLL: Tuck '54 and at Dartmouth in teaching and administrative roles between 1972 and 1986. I didn't realize that you had gone to Tuck. Were you part of the class, part of the continuing classes, the five- year plan? PAGANUCCI: Yes. Virtually all of us were in those days and, after Tuck, I went to Harvard Law School. So, in effect, I was an early M.B.A., J.D. before they had the combined degree programs. CARROLL: Did you know that you were going to do that from the outset? PAGANUCCI: I knew when I came to Dartmouth I was going to go to Tuck School. That is really why I came to Dartmouth. I could do it in five years instead of the six years it would have taken if I went to Harvard, which was the other college given serious consideration and then Tuck School was like one graduate year. Harvard would have been two, so I came here for that reason. But I had no plan at that time to go to Harvard Law School.

  • Collegiate Secret Societies in North America 1 Collegiate Secret Societies in North America
    Collegiate secret societies in North America 1 Collegiate secret societies in North America There are many collegiate secret societies in North America. They vary greatly in their levels of secrecy and independence from their universities. As the term is used in this article, a secret society is a collegiate society where significant effort is made to keep affairs, membership rolls, signs of recognition, initiation, or other aspects secret from the public. Some collegiate secret societies are referred to as 'class societies', which restrict membership to one class year. Most class societies are restricted to the senior class, and are therefore also called senior societies on many campuses. Categorization There is no strict rule on the categorization of secret societies. Secret societies can have ceremonial initiations, secret signs of recognition (gestures, handshakes, passwords), formal secrets, (the 'true' name of the society, a motto, or a society history); but, college fraternities or "social fraternities" have the same, and some of these elements can also be a part of literary societies, singing groups, editorial boards, and honorary and pre-professional groups. Some secret societies have kept their membership secret, for example Seven Society and Gridiron, and some have not, like Skull and Bones (the Yale societies had published their membership lists in the yearbooks and the Yale Daily News). One key concept in distinguishing secret societies from fraternities is that, on campuses that have both kind of organizations, one can be a member of both, (that is, membership is not mutually exclusive). Usually, being a member of more than one fraternity is not considered appropriate, because that member would have divided loyalties; however, typically, there is not an issue being a member of a secret society and a fraternity, because they are not considered similar organizations or competing organizations.[1] An especially difficult problem is the degree to which any one society is an actual society or is simply an honorary designation.

  • Town of Hanover, 1992 Annual Town Report
    TOWN OF HANOVER 19 9 2 Annual Town Report =Q^ei3^ W law.. • 9^^ =i(3:«tiJV5= ^im)h South Main Street Circa 1880 . The Board of Selectmen would like to recognize Lou Bressett, the Honorary Mayor of Hanover, for his many years of service to our town. Lou has had his fingers in many pies, and for all his many contributions, we offer a hearty thanks. John Stebbins said it best in the October 23, 1992 issue of "The Nugget News" when he wrote . ALL ABOUT . "LOU" "A Director of the Hanover Improvement Society Since 1958 and President from 1973 to 1991, 'Lou' is truly Hanover's First Citizen. As President of the Society, he was the moving force in the construction, operation, and profitable sale of the Nugget Arcade Building; the maintenance and improvement of Storrs P6nd; the creation of the Ceunpion Rink, and the beautif ication program on Main Street. Lou has led and served the Hanover community in more different capacities than anyone else in its history. After graduating from Hanover High School and attending the University of New Hzunpshire, he served with distinction as a Marine in the Pacific during World War II. One of his first civic responsibilities was as chairman of the Board of Precinct Commissioners until it merged with the Town in 1964. He was the first Chairman of the new Board of Selectmen and served in that capacity until 1967. A few others of his distinctions have been: President of the Hanover Water Company, 1975-1989; the first person to receive the Hanover Cheunber of Commerce 'Citizen of the Year' Award (1967); a long-time bank director of the Dartmouth National Bank, and later, the Ledyard National Bank; an honorary member of the Dartmouth College Class of 1927, and recipient, in 1986, of an honorary degree from Dartmouth College for his service to the community; and his appointment in 1991 as the Honorary Mayor of the Town of Hanover." .
