Dartmouth's Anti-Semitism
No
Room for Minority Religions?
by Olga Kulinets and Alexander Wilson
 It is extremely difficult to
practice any religion at the College, but the difficulty
is significantly less for Christians than for other
religious groups. Even among Christians there are
difficulties as a number of sects, notably members of
either the Greek or Russian Orthodox Churches, are not
represented in the Hanover community. For
observant Jews, practicing their religion is not only
difficult, it is almost impossible.
Princeton
and Jewish Enrollment
by Alexander Nazaryan
Over the
last ten years, the number of Jews at Princeton fell
sharply. Since 1985, the Jewish population has declined
by 40%, to 450 students in the class of
2002—approximately 10% of undergraduates. Many now
question Princeton's admissions policy.
President
Tucker's Legacy?
by Christian Hummel
Tucked away behind Mass Row in South Fairbanks
Hall, the William Jewett Tucker Foundation is responsible
for campus religious life. In practical terms this
entails barbecues during Orientation for freshmen,
managing the College Chaplaincy, and otherwise promoting
and protecting religious practice at Dartmouth. While the
Foundation has been at the center of various
controversies in recent months, overall the Foundation
provides several worthwhile programs serving both
Dartmouth and the Upper Valley community. Its religious
leadership, however, has been lacking.
The
Messiah Unbound
by Andrew Grossman
Smack between Hanover Strings and Makin' Waves
sits a somewhat curious office. On the white frosted
glass door is the icon of a lion, and beneath it, in
ornate Semitic text, the organization's name, “The
Lion of Judah.” Their mission: “Proclaiming
Jesus, King of the Jews.”

“Far better it is to dare mighty
things, to win great triumphs, even though
checkered by failure, than to rank with those
poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer
much, because they live in the gray twilight that
knows neither victory nor defeat.”
—Theodore
Roosevelt
