Alma Mater

Dear old Dartmouth, give a rouse
For the college on the hill!
For the Lone Pine above her,
And the loyal ones who love her,
Give a rouse, give a rouse, with a will!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Though 'round the girdled earth they roam,
Her spell on them remains;
They have the still North in their hearts,
The hill-winds in their veins,
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
And the granite of New Hampshire
In their muscles and their brains.
Dear old Dartmouth, set a watch
Lest the old traditions fail!
Stand as sister stands by brother!
Dare a deed for the old Mother!
Greet the world, from the hills, with a hail!
For the sons of old Dartmouth,
For the daughters of Dartmouth.
Around the world they keep for her
Their old undying faith;
They have the still North in their soul,
The hill-winds in their breath,
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death.
And the granite of New Hampshire
Is made part of them till death.

This Weather?!


Have you seen "The Day After Tomorrow"? The Science Fiction film about Dennis Quaid trying to save the world from global warming? Well I have, and the similarities between the movie and the natural disasters occurring in the world today is, well...creepy. Every week my mom calls and the asks "Honey hows the weather?". Surprisingly the -28 degrees the NorthFace Store guy in town predicted (while I was buying my jacket) was not correct. Unlike Maryland/Washington DC we didn't have a snow storm in good 'ol supposed to be freezing New Hampshire. Actually I haven't seen the ground covered in snow for longer than two days in about two weeks. My parents went crazy buying wool socks, boots, cute little scarf and hat sets for the Negative degree weather of Hanover. However two of my classmates arrived to class in shorts yesterday. So would I tell someone to worry about the weather at Dartmouth...not at all. I admit it does get cold but trust me the weather is not a problem, having no snow in New England while your friends in Texas have a snow day...Is indeed the problem lol :).
