    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.

  • News for the Friends of Dartmouth Physics & Astronomy
    News for the Friends of Dartmouth Physics & Astronomy A New Interdisciplinary Institution Recent Faculty Research A Message from John Thorstensen, Chair Dear Friends, As you can see from these pages, we've had another good year here in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. If you've been keeping track, you'll notice that the Chairship has changed hands -- Jim LaBelle handed me the reins at the end of June. I had already served a 3-year term a decade ago, so the chairship is "deja vu all over again" for me -- as the handoff approached, Jim referred to me in his inimitable way as "The Once and Future Chair". Hopefully I'll be up to the job -- as the Department's longest-serving faculty member (I was hired in 1980), I at least bring institutional memory to the table. In any case, I am grateful to Jim for having handed me a happy and well- functioning department. The intellectual life of the Department is vibrant, thanks to the vigorous research effort that you'll see detailed in these pages. While research and teaching are sometimes painted as being in conflict, we would surely not attract the superb students we see without the intellectual excitement that comes from working at the edge of the unknown. I have interviewed many prospective undergraduates over the years, and pretty much every single one has asked about research opportunities for students -- and I've always been able to reassure them on that point. This summer we welcomed a new faculty member, James Whitfield; another, Devin Walker, is arriving at the start of the new year.

    Ernest Martin Hopkins ʻ01 President, Emeritus An interview conducted by Edward Connery Lathem ʻ51 Hanover, NH February 21- March 14, 1958 Reels 1-9 Rauner Special Collections Library Dartmouth College Hanover, NH Ernest Martin Hopkins Interview Reel #1 Hopkins: I'm very apologetic for being late, but every time I have a definite appointment, I get hung up on the telephone. Watson: But I got hung up in a different way. Just as I was getting in my car, my trousers got caught on a piece of broken metal at the back of the car. Professor Sadler ran into it yesterday – and ripped my trouser leg right down so I had to rush back and change my pants. Hopkins: I'm sorry for the cause, but I'm kind of glad you were delayed. This was an interesting telephone conversation. It was with a fellow named Gordon who is the head of the company that made the silver bowl and he just wanted some assurance it was all right and so forth. He's a very, very attractive fellow, but I have just barely met him though. I donʼt know him well at all. Childs: It looked like a beautiful bowl. I trust it's as beautiful as it looked there. Is it? It's a perfect reproduction, isnʼt it? Hopkins: Just a perfect reproduction. It is very beautiful, very beautiful. Childs: I told you ahead of time I wasn't going to get to your dinner. But I did. I was so glad… so thrilled by it. It was wonderful.
