Dartmouth: 1969 — My Understanding Is…

John Hinderaker helped take over the President’s Office, the administration buildings, and the ROTC offices — in order to seek an end to the Vietnam War (among other matters).

My understanding is that when the lawless takeover of campus offices and property was over, he not only remained enrolled, but still had honors status, fraternity privileges — and finished with top of class honors.

So his whining about MIT policies… seems more than a little… ironic.

[My understanding is that while Mr. Mirengoff also was involved, and arrested, he was cleared to graduate with honors, also from Dartmouth.] Additionally, my understanding is that only violence led to arrests, that year.

So… ironic, indeed.

That’s all. Out.
