<p>Hey guys just a future applicant here. But am I the only one who thinks Dartmouth has by FAR the most ill motto?</p>
<p>"The voice of one crying out in the wilderness"</p>
<p>Is that motto not epic?!?</p>
<p>Yeah, like an SOS call from someone lost in the North woods.</p>
<p>It’s from the Bible, namely John 1:23.</p>
<p>“He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.”</p>
<p>It fits when you consider Dartmouth’s history of being founded in the 18th century by Rev. Wheelock as a missionary school with the goal of educating and converting the native Americans to Christianity. The motto was chosen by Rev. Wheelock himself,</p>
<p>Thought there would be a mention of a “vomlette”.</p>
