Who Said It?

Match the quotation with the person.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP: WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR quotation number one, below? If you said "I," for Ernest Martin Hopkins '01, you're right. But don't get cocky; a few of the questions are trickier. For answers, turn to page 55 but only after you've finished the quiz!

1 "NOTHING COULD SO QUICKLY KILL THE COLLEGE OR so promptly suppress the interest in it which the public has as the carrying out of a policy by which academic standards should be altered or eased for the sake of the athlete."

2 "MUCH OF WHAT I ENJOYED AT DARTMOUTH WAS ACTING like an Indian in a school founded for Indians."

3 "FIRST, YOU ARE CITIZENS OF A COMMUNITY, AND YOU are expected to act as such. Second, you are the stuff of an institution and what you are it will be. Thirdly, your business here is learning, and that is up to you."

4 "IT IS ALSO MY FIRM BELIEF THAT THIS INSTITUTION will so attach the Indians to the British Interest that it will prevent more Incursions & ravages upon the Peasantry in those remote Countries than the best Regiment of Troops that could be raised."

5 "WE MUST STRENGTHEN OUR ATTRACTION FOR THOSE singular students whose greatest pleasures may come not from the camaraderie of classmates but from the lonely acts of writing poetry, or mastering the cello, or solving mathematical riddles, or translating Catullus."

6"DURING THIS YEAR, YOU WILL HEAR THE VOICES OF those who have lost faith in man's ability to improve his institutions. You will be told that the road to change is through confusion, through confrontation, and through coercion. These are the voices of doom. Do not listen to them."

7 "CONTRARY TQ THE ASSERTION OF CARDINAL NEWMAN man...that to discover and to teach are separate functions seldom united in the same person, I believe that discovery stimulates teaching, and that teaching necessitates discovery."

8 "I WAS BORN A HEATHEN AND BROUGHT UP IN HEATHENISM, till I was between 16 and 17 years of age, at a place called Mohegan, in New London, Connecticut, in New England."

9 "AY-OH-HAY! (TWICE) AY-OH-WANEE-WAY-HAH! YEA-AH! Dartmouth! Dartmouth! Dartmouth!"
