Winter carnival (lowercase c)


This is a screengrab taken this morning from the Baker Tower webcam overlooking the Green. In the middle of the Green is the Cat in the Hat – minus the Cat – a lonely reminder of the missing sculpture. I'm not an alum – just a parent of an alum – and it makes me sad to see such a wonderful tradition fail.

A total of 29 NFL teams sent someone to Dartmouth to look at members of this year's senior class since last spring. It will be interesting to see how many show up for the Big Green Pro Day on Saturday, April 2. 

Green Alert Take: I've been to just about every Dartmouth pro day since before quarterback Jay Fiedler was drawing scouts to Hanover in 1993 on his way to a long NFL career. With a handful of players on the the league's radar, I'd venture to say there will be more NFL scouts here on April 2 than at any pro day in at least the past 25 years. Stay tuned ;-)
