<p>That would be,</p>
<pre><code> "incorrect Ms.," (answers to both of your questions are below)
</code></pre>
<p>If you could please cut and paste my comments that state,</p>
<p>"dartmouth does not have a role to play in contributing new knowledge to the world,
that undergrads won't benefit from increased research opportunities"
or at least something that resembles it. </p>
<p>You apparently like controversey. That's why you're on this forum ad nauseum.
I am not on the Brown forum, because I'm interested in Dartmouth.
You cannot honestly think that anyone on the Dartmouth site thinks that your are a Dartmouth Booster. Please!
When you are not condescendingly kind you are outright critical. You toss in a few kind bromides amongst your ridicule and think that we are so dumb that we won't get your better-than-thou attitude? Ego?</p>
<p>A couple questions for you:
Are you worried about the state of any other Ivies?
Which ones and where will I find the threads?</p>
<p>Moreover,</p>
<p>"to balance the graduate and undergraduate programs in a uniquely dartmouth way" is what I assumed Dartmouth was doing and will do without your demand that they do so. Or, do you assume that this is something Dartmouth has only come around to doing because of your farseeing advise in the "Ivy League Council". Ego? Thank god for You, eh.
If you're saying it's something they need to do and they're doing it, it seems rather redundant to say so. If Dartmouth does not "balance the graduate and undergraduate programs in a uniquely dartmouth way" who does?</p>
<p>I agree that it would be unfair to compare your posts to Cal1600's post and that was not my intention, perhaps that was a clumsy comparison. My point is that it has only been the two of you, on this forum, that have been so constantly critical of Dartmouth while having no real vested interest in it (your brother, to my mind,doesn't count as I would I assume he would speak for himself). Although I realize you believe you're looking out for us. Ego?</p>
<p>As to my fellow posters, I'll let them weigh in as they see fit. My impression was that they felt Dartmouth has always done a fine job at deciding what Dartmouth will be and that there is no crisis, or problem that needs fixing.
So as not to be shrill, I have to say that I went back to look at some of your posts on the Brown forum and they seemed genuinely helpfull. I was suprised. No critiques of the school at all. Only encouragement and inspiration--not to mention coming to Brown's defense when criticism was levelled. That seems reasonable to me, how about you?
Are you amazed that Dartmouth students are not really interested in hearing people from other schools telling them that their school is inadequate? If so, you don't seem to have learned much about people while attending Brown, I'm a seventeen year old girl who's only lived in this country for 5 years and I know that.</p>
<p>I defy you to show me any postings of Dartmouth students critiquing Brown, or any other Ivy---that's good civilized behavior, no matter where your from.</p>
<p>As to your last two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Dartmouth has research opportunities and (as far as I know) will adjust them in the "Dartmouth way" as it sees fit, as it always has (perhaps not perfectly).</li>
<li>Dartmouth needs to produce knowledge in the students it has agreed to produce it in, beyond that I must confess that I'm out of my element, how about you?</li>
</ol>
<p>Honestly, look at your posts on this forum once more, you are a smart guy, and you'll see that it's not love and kisses. It's more like an all-seeing all-knowing party-popper.</p>
<p>I hope my response was what you hoped for and that I didn't fail in my attempt to answer your questions.
My sin is that I love Dartmouth too much!
Good luck to you at Med school!
I really wish you the best!</p>
<p>Peace</p>
