I was struck by all our names. I thought of Alfred Lord Tennyson and nearly wept. I have taken liberty with his poem.

The Charge of the Dartmouth ED Brigade

Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Decision
Strode our thirty-nine:
'Forward, the Dartmouth ED Brigade!
"Let the Moose loose'" ajayc opined:
Into the valley of Decision
Strode our thirty-nine.

'Forward, the Dartmouth ED Brigade!'
Was there a man or woman dismay'd ?
Not tho' the student knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Ours not to make reply,
Ours not to reason why,
Ours but to do & die,
Into the valley of Decision
Strode our thirty-nine.

Cannon to right of us,
Cannon to left of us,
Cannon in front of us
Volley'd & thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly we strode and well,
Into the jaws of Decison,
Into the mouth of Hell
Strode our thirty-nine.

Flash'd all our ECs bare,
Flash'd as we turn'd SATs there
Lifting our grade points in the air,
Charging an adcom while
All the world wonder'd:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right thro' the line we broke;
Admission staff & Director
Reel'd from the essay-stroke,
Shatter'd & in decline.
Then we strode back, but not
Not our thirty-nine.

Cannon to right of us,
Cannon to left of us,
Cannon behind us
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
While moose & hero fell,
We that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Decision,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of us,
Left of thirty-nine.

When can our glory fade?
O the wild charge we made!
All the world wonder'd.
Honor the charge we made!
Honor the Dartmouth ED Brigade,
Noble thirty-nine!

skichica · December 4, 2007, 11:21pm

I've been lingering on this site for far too long... I might as well add my name in for ED!!!

Good luck to us all! I'm about to go crazy at this point... I keep on refreshing my in box even though they obviously wouldn't send out any sort of email at this time of night

Welcome skichica!

hahaha AWESOME stuff there BalletGirl! bows All hail Queen BalletGirl!

johnleemk · December 5, 2007, 11:57am

I'm in the admissions office right now (I get paid to sit at my laptop, hurrah), and I can tell you that if there's a firm date for releasing ED decisions, they're not telling us. I heard that the likely date is Dec 15 but they will not commit to that because of the numerous apps this year. (In other words, don't count on past ED release dates because this year they have even more to go through than usual.)

But chill, you guys will get an email from the office three or four days before the decisions go up online. You'll know then.

ajayc · December 5, 2007, 12:24pm

Thanks for the info, johnleemk!

5757 · December 5, 2007, 12:34pm

Thank you johnleemk for that news. I wish it were sooner but I'll try not to anticipate anything happening this week.

Thanks, but that's a bummer.

I guess no decisions this week.

Adapted from Henry V's St. Crispin's Day speech at the Battle of Agincort
Apologies to William Shakespeare

Saint Decision Day

No, my fair EDers
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer (wo)men, the greater share of honor.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one (wo)man more.

Rather proclaim it, Pampelmoose, through my host,
That (s)he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let them depart; their passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that (wo)man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call'd the feast of Decision.
(S)he that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Decision.
(S)he that shall see this day, and live old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Decision's.
Then will (s)he strip his sleeve and show her scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Decision's day.'

Old (wo)men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But (s)he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats (s)he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in their mouthes as household words-
rainmama's son, copefan5 and thesparetire,
sneamia and ajayc, shackelton55 and andsoitgoes-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good (wo)man teach his son;
And Decision Decisionian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers and sisters;
For (s)he to-day that sheds his/her blood with me
Shall be my brother and sister; be (s)he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentle(wo)men in other admissions pools now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their (wo)manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Decision's day.

God be with us all!

The Charge of the Dartmouth ED Brigade

Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Decision
Strode our forty-five:
'Forward, the Dartmouth ED Brigade!
"Let the Moose loose!" ajayc chim'd:
Into the valley of Decision
Strode our forty-five.

'Forward, the Dartmouth ED Brigade!'
Was there a man or woman dismay'd?
Not tho' the student knew
Perhaps a counselor had blunder'd:
Ours not to make reply,
Ours not to reason why,
Ours but to do & die,
Into the valley of Decision
Strode our forty-five.

State school to right of us,
Small LAC to left of us,
UPenn in front of us
Tutor'd & test’d;
Deadlin'd with date and bell,
Boldly we strode and well,
Into the jaws of Decision,
Into the mouth of Hell
Strode our forty-five

Flash'd all our ECs bare,
Flash'd as we turn'd SATs there
Lifting our grade points in the air,
Charging an adcom while
All of CC wonder'd:
Plunged in the USN&WR rankings-smoke
Right thro' the line we broke;
Admission staff & Director
Reel'd from the essay-stroke,
Shatter'd & in decline.
Then we strode back, but not
Not our forty-five.

State school to right of us,
Small LAC to left of us,
UPenn an option for us
Tutor'd and test'd;
Deadlin’d with date and bell,
While moose & hero fell,
We that had scored so well
Came thro' the jaws of Decision,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of us,
Left of forty-five.

When can our glory fade?
O the wild charge we made!
All of CC wonder'd.
Honor the charge we made!
Honor the Dartmouth ED Brigade,
Noble forty-five!
