The aerial view of Hanover on Wikimapia is highly detailed and only a matter of months old.

Centerbrook has a New Varsity House page up with information already available elsewhere.

A flurry of publicity has marked the ongoing construction of the new Fred Harris Cabin (Vox; The Dartmouth).

The articles describe this cabin in relation to the first cabin the Outing Club built, one that went up during 1913 and apparently collapsed during the 1990s. Hooke lists the first cabin as Cow Moose (1913, demolished 1941) and he describes Fred Harris Cabin as completed during 1951 and still in use in 1987. It’s still not clear what’s what.

Varsity House construction photos are available, including several depicting the dismantling of part of the East Stands at Memorial Field.

Maps now label the old Davis Varsity House as “Davis Field House.” A dedicatory plaque inside the building also seems to use that name, so perhaps the “Varsity” part has been inaccurate all along.

Every one of the 37 new two-story buildings in Sachem Village has been escorted from the Canadian border by Vermont State Police and then from the New Hampshire-Vermont border by the the New Hampshire State Police to Lebanon.

No word on which model the College has selected, whether the Verlaine or the Foucault.

Is the film Beerfest (2006) the first film to depict the playing of pong? (See The Dartmouth;Wikipedia.) The characters appear to use paddles, but the film’s creators learned the game at Colgate.

Daniel Lindsay, director of a post-9/11 documentary titled Why U.S.? (Stanford Daily), is directing a film meant to document pong and its history on a national scale, according to an article in The Dartmouth. He and producer Josh Otten were in Hanover gathering material in November.
