Let the Dialogue Beg in

On February 6, Dartmouth's Trustees outlined five principles that will guide the revamping of the College's social and residential life in the coming decades. The news signaled the most important policy shift at Dartmouth since the advent of coeducation. Along with the guiding principles came the invitation to engage in a dialogue on how best to create the new system and spend the tens of millions of dollars the Trustees committed to the effort. To help begin that dialogue, we've gathered reactions and commentary, including views from undergraduates, parents, an alum, and Dartmouth's longest-standing faculty member. President Wright speaks to the issue in his "Presidential Range" column on page 16.

Not quite deja vu. In 1999 men andwomen objected to more coeducation.
