<p>are there any famous dartmouth alumni or popular culture references other than dr seuss, the sec treasury guy, and animal house</p>
<p>I think TV journalist Bill Beutel was a dartmouth alum</p>
<p>Daniel Webster would probably be among the most important.</p>
<p>edit: I had to quote this entry in the aforementioned directory:</p>
<p>

<p>Lol!!!</p>
<hr>
<p>thanks...what do you think they meant when they say that the fictional character stephen colbert went there (fictional as in not in real life but for the show) is that funny bc comedy central execs are trying to say dartmouth is conservative?</p>
<p>My favorite fictional character to attend Dartmouth is Michael Corleone. I mean, when the Godfather's son attends your school, you know you're cool.</p>
<p>Amen to that!!!</p>
<p>Didn't robert frost go there? that's famous!</p>
<p>I think he transferred though... oh another interesting fictional alum...apparently Colbert of Colbert Report is a D alum...^_^</p>
<p>Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy went to Dartmouth. Not the actress who plays her, but the character on the show.</p>
<p>For fictional characters: Freddy Prince's dad in She's All That</p>
<p>grey's anatomy writer went to D</p>
<p>A world champion shot putter... can't think of his name off the top of my head.</p>
<p>haha, i knew grey's anatomy fans would post here. meredith grey wears her dartmouth shirt all the time on the show</p>
