<p>Check out this story on thebiglead.com: Harvard-Dartmouth Squash Match Features Fans Shouting Obscene Language, Anti-Semitic Comments.</p>
<p>This was an unfortunate and out-of-character incident, that the president of the college sent out a community blitz about today. I’ll include the body of the blitz. I hope those students involved are truly sorry, and would like to assure you this is NOT the attitude of the general populace of Dartmouth.</p>
<p>"To the Dartmouth Community:</p>
<p>As you may know, The Valley News reported Saturday on the inappropriate behavior of Dartmouth students attending a men’s and women’s squash match against Harvard last Wednesday.</p>
<p>We are very disappointed that any of our students would engage in behavior that is out of line with the values of this community. While we encourage students to vigorously support our athletes, we expect them to do so in a way that reflects our pride in those teams, not disrespect for others. The Office of the Dean of the College and the Athletics Department are still gathering information about what happened at this match at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>A number of our students have already apologized to the Dartmouth community and others, including our men’s soccer team, which today issued a written apology to the Dartmouth community and took full responsibility for actions by some members of their team. We support the soccer team’s newly-announced initiative to encourage Dartmouth athletes and fans to discuss how to create a more respectful atmosphere at our events.</p>
<p>We will be personally contacting a Harvard player and his parents who were particular targets of inappropriate statements by Dartmouth students, as well as Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust, to convey our concern and to offer apologies on behalf of our community.</p>
