Wow! I was there at the time! Class of 1958. I didn’t see me or many of my friends, but I did see some of my professors. Memories galore! Thank you for screening!
I entered the College in 1968 with not much difference between then and '56. Same all-male enrollment (my class was the last all-male, and for the good, graduating class ), same Thayer Dining Hall, Baker Library stacks, and Prof. John Kemeny teaching my Finite Math (Mast 6 as I recall). But academic departments had been reorganized (no separate Russian studies, zoology folded into Biology), the Dartmouth Skiway was still one year away, men of color were being admitted, and the Indian, ah, the Indian. The then-College mascot would be ostracized soon after I arrived. His banishment is not regretted by me.
I can not say I dream of going back to back then because it was a time of Vietnam-related pain and turmoil with a springtime '69 student occupation of Parkhurst (administration) Hall only to be rousted and arrested by NH state police. A goodly number were convicted and served sentences in the Grafton County jail. All that was then followed by outrage, strikes, and early school dismissal after Kent State, in 1970. Turbulence was those times.
All that chaos has not left me, with Vietnam ptsd a part of me to the end. But as the saying goes sort of, Dartmouth was the worst of times, Dartmouth was the best of times. For me. Back then. Before the College opened the doors to graduate degrees, professorships, and, well, a long, long life of learning. As President Dickey told me when I was a freshman, "Your job here [at the College] IS learning." He was right.
Fantastic find. Amazing how the basic essence of the college had not changed between 1953 and when I graduated in the '80s. When we visited last summer, I had the same feeling after listening to the tour guide for close to 2 hours about how it is now and the experience I had. Thank you for posting.
Golden age awesome
I appreciate you putting this up.
Sweet!
Ahh those where the days at good ol' Dartmouth. God I wish I could go back in time to the 1940s and 50s.
Where women, gays and minorities were subjugated to racism, sexism, degradation, humiliation and other injustices?! Shame on you!
Build a time machine to 1992
renegade runner He was talking about going back in time at the college. Not going back in time on social issues. Shame on you for being an absolute imbecile.
@@renegaderunner332 sounds awesome tbh
What was so good about attending college at time when women, and people of color were prohibited from attending?
If I could go back in time for it, not now.
I'm in awe as to how they use to kick the football......
I take it as a sign of a good Dartmouth education that I can't watch this short without thinking "Now how could the Dartmouth Jack'O use this?"
what are those towers at 1:08 on top of builds are these radio towers....way back then!
They were on the Physics building. But I had not a clue then nor now. Well, they could have been sending out hate radio waves to Harvard. :p
It gets 23 seconds in and stops.
3@@@ Joseph smith went here too ?
Collegium est societas plurium corporum simul habitantium.
what year did they wake up and admit women?
Or literally anyone other white Anglo-Saxon men.
1973
.
Back then the school was extremely white and not considerate at all of minorities way back then.😊😊
However the school has changed a lot since that period in human history.
The women are now inclusive since the early 2000s.😊
Since the Class of 1973. :)
The Indians?wtf 😂😂😂
This was a different time. Now it's native americans but back then you could say Indian.
