Slow Sunday

Not much for you this morning. If you have mixed feelings about Harvard basketball you may be interested in a story published by Slate under this headline:

Upset Special
How Harvard became part of the problem with college sports.

The Crimson, of course, got pounded yesterday by Arizona.

Dartmouth baseball took a 7-4 decision from Bradley yesterday and returns to Hanover with an 11-1 record. That's the Big Green's best-ever 12-game mark. Dartmouth plays host to Siena Wednesday.

We're busy getting That Certain Dartmouth '14 packed up and moved into her dorm today after she spent the past week hiking and backpacking in the Smoky Mountains. It's her first regular term "on" in a full year.

So, where has she been? She spent last spring studying in Barcelona and then returned to a quiet campus for Sophomore Summer. She spent the fall in the Rockies with Dartmouth's legendary "Stretch" program. Winter saw her working as an intern with Dartmouth's SEAD program at a high school in southern New Hampshire.

She's really, really, really excited to be back on the busy campus. Did I mention she's excited? At breakfast this morning she explained that she can't wait for the term to begin because, "I love Dartmouth so much."

We should all be so lucky to feel that way about something.
