Dartmouth teams were once known as the Indians, but this facile ethnic stereotype was eventually deemed offensive (rightfully so) and an impediment racial understanding at the College and thus discontinued\u00a0(how\u00a0<\/span><\/span>ironic that the putative progressive wing of the Bay Area cannot muster the same righteousness over a\u00a0certain vapid musical pastiche* on stage in North Beach)<\/span>!

For the last several days, I have been enmeshed in alumni interviewing applicants for the Class of 2013, hoping to cull the next great Classical Languages scholar or Creative Writing major. Given the pace of global warm, New Hampshire may well be the leading subtropical destination by the time these would-be matriculants graduate. With a sustained Mediterranean climate and the anticipated proliferation of\u00a0Sostevinobile<\/span>\u00a0venues throughout selected West Coast locales by then, who knows? I may be endowing a new Department of \u00a0Enology at my reunion that year.<\/span><\/div>\n
