Dartmouth College is a college in Hanover, New Hampshire. It is a member of the Ivy League, the smallest of them in terms of enrollment.
Dartmouth College is a college, with medical, engineering, and business schools. It retains the name "College" as an important historical point of pride. It relates to the famous Dartmouth College Case of 1819, in which the State of New Hampshire attempted to take over Dartmouth and make it into a state university (which, for a brief period, they did successfully, Dartmouth University occupied Dartmouth College). The case was argued before the Supreme Court by Daniel Webster, in which he made the famous remark:
"It is, Sir, as I have said, a small college. And yet there are those who love it."
Social Scene and Fraternities
Social life at Dartmouth is highly dependent on the college's fraternities. Webster Avenue, known as "frat row" to the students, has been called "the greatest center of debauchery north of Massachusetts" by some of its students. Students attending Dartmouth often take part in questionable activities, including heavy drinking (mostly of domestic beer, namely Keystone Light), for which they are famous in the Ivy League, promiscuous sexual activity including, but not limited to, sodomy, polyamory, bestiality (especially sheep buggery), participations in orgies, viewing and production of godless and uninspired postmodern art (in 2007, an installation by artist Wenda Gu made entirely of braided human hair). This college, with specific regard to its social scene, is a bastion of depravity.
One of the most glaring examples of the extreme liberal bent of the college's fraternity scene is a Co-educational Fraternity known as Phi Tau. Allowing young men and women to not only sleep under the same roof, but to share toilet and shower facilities, Phi Tau tolerates, nay, outright encourages promiscuousness and deviant sexual behavior.
Academics and Godlessness
With regards to academics, Dartmouth excels specifically in the humanities and economics, turning out a high number of investment bankers. However, despite its best efforts (including a brand-new mathematics building), Dartmouth's purer sciences are sub-par. As with most institutions of mathematics or physical scientists, Kemeny Hall (mathematics0 and Wilder Hall (physics) are teeming with evolutionists and atheists.
Mascot Dispute
In the past, Dartmouth's mascot was "The Indian," which was thrown out due to allegations of racism. Currently, there are several groups on campus pushing for sundry mascots. The two main contenders, though, seem to be:
The Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern: Keggy the Keg The Student Assembly: The Dartmoose
Though "The Dartmoose" is far more logical and "huggable", Keggy is the massive frontrunner, again pointing to the college's love of drinking and debauchery.
