The Dartmouth Review was founded in 1980 in the living room of Dartmouth English professor (and National Review Senior Editor) Jeffrey Hart by four discontented campus conservatives: Greg Fossedal, Keeney Jones, Gordon Haff, and Benjamin Hart.
Since that time, The Dartmouth Review has been the College’s preeminent independent newspaper and a staunch advocate for freedom of expression. It is the oldest and most renowned campus commentary publication in the nation, having inspired a national movement that reached institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, and Princeton. Its alumni have won many awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, and have been published in The Wall Street Journal, National Review, The Spectator, The New Criterion, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, and the New York Post, to name a few.
The Review aims to provide a voice for any student who enjoys challenging or questioning campus academic hegemony. We stand for free speech, students’ rights, the liberal arts, and Dartmouth’s traditions.
We seek to provide useful and enlightening long-form journalism that is relevant to the Dartmouth community at large. Our print issues are produced by Dartmouth College undergraduates on a bi-weekly basis during Dartmouth’s fall, winter, and spring terms. One issue is printed during Dartmouth’s summer term.
The Dartmouth Review is a publication of The Hanover Review, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
