description: This lively new Reader, addressed particularly to Dartmouth graduates, students, and friends, will also appeal to others interested in the history of higher education in America. "While preparing this volume," the editors write, "we developed fresh appreciation for that peculiar slice of humankind known as the men and women of Dartmouth, who in Hanover learn to analyze the verse of Milton, explore fluid dynamics, wrestle with Lu Xun, confront Aquinas, discover radiogenic isotope geochemistry, climb Moosilauke, build their own kayaks, sharpen an ax with a dual-grip handstone, and slip across a snowy campus on cross-country skis to an early morning class on Flaubert."From "Dartmouth Hall Burns," "The Beginnings of Dr. Conversation with Theodore S. Geisel," Earl Blaik's "Football in the 1930s," Charles Widmayer's "Providing a New Library," C. Everett Koop's "On Falling in Love at Dartmouth," Ray Nash's "World War II on Hanover Plain," John Sloan Dickey's "Joyful Spirit," Corey Ford's "My Dog Likes It Here," John Kemeny's "Computers at Dartmouth," Steven Tozer's "Parkhurst Hall Take-over," and Wally Ford's "Black Student at Dartmouth," to Regina Barreca's "Mater Dearest" and Ricardo Worl's "Tlingit Brother of Alpha Chi," and more, it's all here.
