I'm Going to Say It Now
Dartmouth's
Doomsday Prophet
by Andrew Grossman
 Thomas Malthus would be happy today,
if still gloomy. In his seminal 1798 work, An Essay on the Principle
of Population, the economist Malthus argued that population, growing
exponentially, would always overtake food production, growing
linearly—leading to cyclical episodes of mass starvation. Two
hundred years later, modern Malthusians are still trying build a
scientific framework around immanent global doom.
College:
Greeks' Future Bleak
by Matthew Tokson
Dartmouth College
sponsored its first “Greek Leaders Retreat” this summer in East
Wheelock’s Brace Commons—an appropriately antiseptic environment
for a day-long meeting that began by focusing on the “marketing”
of a tamer Greek system. Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman,
saddled with much of the responsibility for implementing the Student
Life Initiative’s changes, arranged the meeting to “communicate
and develop some common themes to guide the Greek community over the
next several years.”

“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
