Order in the Court

Future Vision
Dartmouth expects to prepare a new 20-year master plan to provide guidance as the College evolves. “Master planning can support our academic mission and create a roadmap for growth and change in a way that sustains and enriches the physical identity of our institution,” says President Phil Hanlon ’77. The effort will encourage sustainability, protect the character of the campus, and preserve the architectural landscape, according to a press release. Two architectural firms will work on the plan with College officials.
Justice Is Served
Four Martin Luther King Jr. Social Justice Award winners were honored on campus in late January. The recipients include Ray Blackwell ’80, DMS’87, surgical director at Christiana Care Health Services in Newark, Delaware; Bruce Duthu ’80, a Dartmouth professor of Native American studies; author Michelle Duster ’85; and the class of 1959, which created Dartmouth Partners in Community Service.
Welcome Development
An alum has stepped in to fill the bookshop void created by the December closing of the Dartmouth Bookstore. Allie Levy ’ll signed a lease to take over the former store’s first floor. She plans to open Still North Books, which will feature a cafe—and a beer and wine bar—this fall.
