Newsworthy

Dartmouth has received a $100 million gift, the largest in school history. The donor prefers to remain anonymous. From The Dartmouth:
The gift, the largest single outright donation in College history, includes a matching mechanism that could double its amount to $200 million through the end of 2015, senior vice president of advancement Bob Lasher ’88 said. 
And . . .
The $100 million gift will be divided into two portions of $50 million each. One will support future academic initiatives, and the second will endow cross-disciplinary programs. 
After much consideration I've decided it's the right thing to do to reveal the anonymous donor.

It was me.
OK, that's not really true.
Among the many publications to come out of Dartmouth is one called, From The Green. The spring issue has a look at senior tailback Kevin Price, a veteran who walked onto the Dartmouth football team at age 31.

At the team banquet Sunday, Price was presented with the program's Manners Makyth Man Award, "Presented to the member of the varsity football team who, in the judgment of his teammates, has best conducted himself to the advantage of the college and displayed good manners in the sense of William Wickham's phrase, 'Manners Makyth Man.' ” 

I'd toss a link up, but if the publication is online – which it should be – I can't find it. If you click the jpeg below it should swell enough to be readable.
