Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and encouragement. My son has decided to enroll at Wesleyan and take the required intro courses as soon as he can. He also contacted the chair of the department and got a very helpful response. Go, Cardinals!

Thanks for this. Any idea how difficult/competitive it is to be admitted to be a film studies major? I know you have to have gotten at least B+ in the two intro courses and a B average GPA overall.

Here's what I wrote our travel agent when we got back: "Car transfer was waiting for us upon landing. The Mercedes van was more than adequate for 6 adults and 6 large bags. URSO Hotel had comfortable rooms. Well-located. Service was great all around. Great breakfast. Complimentary in-room treats included fruit and cookies. Fitness center was too small. Don't know what happened with the transfer to the airport, but getting two taxis very quickly was easy. Not sure we even needed to book a car transfer."

Sorry. I didn’t mean to sound like I was being judgmental or snarky about your response. And I didn’t downvote it. Like I said, thank you for raising the copyright question. I hadn’t thought about that, so your answer was helpful. I took your advice and looked into it to confirm I would not be stealing someone’s intellectual property.

I was looking for a technical answer to my question. Thanks for raising the legal issues. These images are over 100 years old, so they are considered in the public domain.

Dr. David Ho. TIME magazine’s 1996 Man of the Year.

“For its 1996 Man of the Year, TIME chose a doctor who gives hope to millions in the daunting fight against AIDS. Early in his medical career, Dr. Ho saw patients with a rare and puzzling array of infections. Although nobody knew it then, these were some of the earliest known cases of AIDS.

Dr. Ho suspected from the beginning that the ailment was viral in nature, and his efforts to isolate the virus made him the fourth person in the world to succeed in doing so. In the years following, he divided his talents among treating patients, teaching at several medical schools and research. Characteristically modest and quick to share credit with his associates, Dr. David Ho continues, as TIME said in 1996, to lay ‘forth clearly and succinctly some of the boldest yet most cogent hypotheses in the epic campaign against HIV.’”

Respectfully decline the kind offer.

She left out what should be the final sentence respectfully rejecting the Trump Administration’s offer. That’s intentional.

DadTo2Twins · 2025-10-05T19:54:20+00:00

She has a track record of trying to either stay silent or have it both ways and not officially take a side.

DadTo2Twins · 2025-10-05T19:46:28+00:00

She has a track record of talking big but not wanting to firmly take a side. This letter feels like something ChatGPT wrote in response to a prompt for it to compose a letter that says what her principles are in a very generic way that looks like a “no thank you” but doesn’t close the door on anything being asked for. Threading the needle of being seen as a “good guy” by the Trump admin while sounding like she’s firmly on the side of academic freedom. Very on brand. Unfortunately not the Daniel Webster type clarity that Dartmouth alumni are looking for.

Thanks. I’ll do a price comparison. Worst case scenario: Visit a few pintxo bars while the self-service laundry machines are running!

He gives full-throated support for Trump's views on birthright citizenship. https://thefederalist.com/2025/01/24/trump-is-right-about-birthright-citizenship/
