A QUIET PLACE
The week after winter term finals, a bus departed campus for Boston, taking some of the last students in town off to their spring break. This was March 17. Little did we know.
As the eerie sounds of silence descended on campus, photographer Rob Strong ’04 donned a mask to wander and capture images that convey a stark reality: The heart and soul of Dartmouth—its students—were not coming back for the spring term.
BEYOND SOLITUDE
No games. No reunions. No Commencement. But plenty of Zooming. Unprecedented times have created a somber serenity on campus that may last at least through the summer.
In these photos, the majestic grounds and facilities of Dartmouth seem to yearn for the human element—for students, professors, anyone—to return and bring back the vibrancy and vitality that make the College so meaningful to so many.
