One Dean's View: People You Haven’t Really Met Yet

When I go to 51 Main, I feel as though I am close to a little piece of home (Brooklyn, New York) because I run into all types of people there. Not just students. Not just townspeople. But everyone imaginable. They are enjoying a shared interest, mingling, being together in the same place. Worlds collide ...

Power Couples

As students, we live our lives in proximity to our peers, and thus have the opportunity to see them not only in an intellectual environment, but also in the social sphere. We see our friends on dining hall dates, at Atwater parties, on long walks to the organic farm, and “studying” in the library ...

Sex Panther: Friends with Benefits

Friends with benefits. All of those words individually sound so nice. Friendship, that’s awesome. And benefits, who doesn’t want those? Yet somehow, often, these situations don’t end up working out as perfectly as people initially plan. At a place like Middlebury, with the “work hard, play hard, ...

A blizzard raged outside the Robert A. Jones ’59 House last Wednesday evening, but inside, the conference room was filled to its capacity of 100.

Atwater First Chef Cooks with Sweetness

Tammy Iffland, first cook in Atwater Dining Hall, is perhaps one of the happiest people I’ve ever met. “My job is fun,” she told me. “We love making you guys happy.” Iffland’s day starts around 7 a.m., but Atwater opens even earlier, with dry goods arriving on trucks from Burlington Food ...

The Secret Life of NARPs

For those of you who were worried (probably just our #1 most devoted fan, Izzy’s grandpa): we’re officially back baby. Maddie has resurrected from her gastro gravestone and joined Izzy once again for their half-marathon training. After a beautiful rendition of Baby Come Back to Me, a.k.a. a Vanessa ...

The Entitled Precariat and the Code-geois

As I transition out of the Middlebury community, I will be joining a cohort of young people who face career uncertainty that I will refer to as “The Entitled Precariat.” Despite its allusion to Marxism, the Entitled Precariat has nothing to do with ideology. Rather, it is a group of young professionals ...

All We Need to Do is Talk

Two weeks ago I wrote an article for The Campus about how certain brands of leftist activism, especially those on this campus, have created a hierarchy of classes, which dictates admission into our collective discourse (see: “Jared Leto and the Thought Police”). A week later an article was published ...

That Damn Patriarchy

“Act like a man.” I am sure that is a sentiment older male figures have expressed to any young man at some point in their lives. And I am sure the reasoning was well intentioned, even if ill-founded. I’m sure they meant ‘be brave, don’t cry and be athletic’; all those colloquial things we ...

Doesn’t Mean I’m Lonely When I’m Alone

I love to be alone. There is something so valuable about solitude, something so unique and singular, that I make a point to find it wherever I can. If I can find time to be alone, then that day is a success. Eating lunch by myself is the very least of the ways I can find solitude. I walk into town by ...
