" on the Hill.  Unlike so many other institutions these days—the College experience at Dartmouth is truly undergraduate. Professors teach every class and generally treat students like royalty. Sure, Dartmouth has a few graduate students, but they skitter about on the edge of campus, while everything important to undergrads surrounds the Green.

 A ""blatant"" emphasis?  A Dartmouth student might say that the typical university has a blatant emphasis on graduate studies and research, giving short shrift to the true objects of an educational institution. 

 ==Dartmouth's billiards club== 
 The Dartmouth billiards club is being voted on for deletion right now, as it's not notable enough on its own to warrant a page.  I figured a Dartmouther (... what do you call yourselves, anyway?) might want to take a look to see if you want to merge any of the content over here, as I noticed you have a number of student org's listed.  Cheers,   

 [""Dartmouthers"" are (technically, should be) called ""Dartmothians.] 

 :This is very likely a product of  class project, which last year netted some 500-600 decent articles and about fifty that ended up on VfD. Most of the latter ultimatedly ended up being merged into Dartmouth College.  

 :Sons and daughters of Dartmouth, you may wish to take a look at  for some thoughts of mine. 

 :This year's assignment is apparently due tomorrow, and we will probably see a few articles on trivial aspects of Dartmouth student life. I hope everyone will be courteous to our guests.    

 ::Well, a few I noticed on a single page of new pages: 
 ::* Poolball 
 ::* Dartmouth Final Cut 
 ::* The dartmouth seven 
 ::* Te@ 
 ::* Dartmouth Rugby Football Club 
 ::* Gamma Delta Chi 
    

 == Happy medium between one catch-all and lotsa nuggets == 

 Hi. As is explained above, over the last few years the wikipedia has seen a lot of small, arguably non-notable articles on facets of Dartmouth life. Most of them get VfD'd and their content gets merged into this page. This has led to a Dartmouth College page full of a gazillion little sections on individual facets of Dartmouth life.  

 It seems to me that this is getting out of hand and this page is getting hard to use because of it. There should be a happy medium: each club doesn't warrant its own page, but the Dartmouth College article shouldn't be burdened with so many little largely unconnected nuggets. A deletionist might argue for paring all that info out of the wikipedia altogether; but it seems much more friendly, respectful, and ultimately useful to simply spin it off elsewhere. To hold all this information, why not create these subpages: student organizations at Dartmouth and athletics at Dartmouth? Then this main Dartmouth College page could have brief summaries on these two subjects with the usual Main article: student organizations at Dartmouth pointer at the head of the appropriate § (in the same way that, e.g., most country articles deal with that country's history). Thoughts?  |   

 :OK, why has this not drawn any comment, one way or the other? Shall I just assume there's no objection?  |   

 ::I saw your comment, thought it sounded reasonable, sort of wanted to wait for Peter Wayner's 2005 class exercise to finish before getting into it. The Dartmouth article is now 46K so some kind of breakout is reasonable. I might have preferred a single breakout page with a title like Dartmouth College student life, but if you're actually going to do real work on this than it's your call.    

 :::OK, I finally got around to doing this. There are now two spin-off pages, Dartmouth College student groups and Dartmouth College athletic teams. Please visit, develop, and enrich these pages.  |
