Testing your Dartmouth knowledge: 1. Explain the scene depicted on the weathervane on the top of Baker Library. 2. How much New Hampshire land does Dartmouth own? (Answers below.)


Four Dartmouth alums competed in the Summer Olympics: Sean Furey ’04, Th’05, javelin; Evelyn Stevens ’05, road cycling; Erik Storck ’07, sailing (49er class); Anthony Fahden ’08, lightweight crew (men’s four). No medals for Dartmouth alums. Two others—Abbey D’Agostino ’14 and Ben True ’08—unfortunately lost out in the 5,000-meter track and field trials. 


Next time you’re in Hanover check out the east wall of Hopkins Center. It’s now full of color from the four vivid Ellsworth Kelly panels commissioned by trustee emeritus Leon Black ’73 and his wife, Debra. 


Congratulations to Lesley Wellman, Hood curator of education, who was recently named 2012 National Museum Educator of the year by the National Art Education Association. “At the Hood Museum,” said Ann Manning, director of the Art Education Association, “Lesley has gracefully positioned the education department and education activities at the center of the museum’s mission.”


Answers: 1. The 8-foot-by-9-inch-long, 6-foot-by-8-inch-tall weathervane depicts Eleazar Wheelock teaching a Native American under the Old Pine. 2. Not counting Dartmouth’s 230-acre campus, the College owns 36,000 acres, mostly in northern New Hampshire.
