This is a 2007 Featured article that has not been maintained to WP:WIAFA standards. The following should be addressed, or the article should be submitted for a Featured article review:
That's just a start; a revamping is needed, starting with reducing the images by about half (and checking that those remaining comply with policy). SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 21:38, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

There's another Dartmouth-related FAR, this one for The Green (Dartmouth College). Feel free to join at Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Green (Dartmouth College)/archive1. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:59, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I just wanted to say to User:ElKevbo that Dartmouth alumni's devotion to their alma mater is already mentioned and sourced at the beginning of the alumni section, and the source used in that section could be thrown in with the other two sources if necessary. RyanAl6 ( talk) 21:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
For me varsity was an at the time unknown term, and I intended to add link to the relevant WP article to make it clear for next readers. I found there was a confusion at the target, because the term has several meanings, with disambiguation page technically correct but not very helpful for the purpose (I wanted etymology when no single direct meaning found seemed suitable).
Also in this article varsity is used in more than one of the meanings proposed on disambiguation page (both representative varsity team and varsity sport in general (meaning not club dependent)). I didn't yet find a suitable solution, so I propose adding a link to wiktionary for a temporary solution, as shown here at the top of the section. There, both basic etymology and different usage is at least partially shown. Marjan Tomki SI ( talk) 12:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
