Peter: "I was having an exit interview with Pudge Neidlinger [in 1946]… and Pudge is carrying… In those times your college record was on a hard piece of manila paper…and he was walking around and talking and during the conversation, he looked at it and he said, 'My god, Peter, you've been going to Dartmouth long enough to graduate.' I had put in eight semesters but had never become a sophomore…I got credit for things but I never got any good grades…I flunked out three times… [Neidlinger] said, 'This is it,' and I agreed. There aren't many three-time flunkies."

Jackie: "Dartmouth guys would date the older Hanover High School girls. They were that desperate for women. Remember, there were no women on campus…. And our senior year at senior ball time this letter appeared in The Daily Dartmouth and it was an anonymous letter…but it said 'I'm a senior in Hanover High School and I resent the fact that I cannot find anybody willing to go to the Hanover High School Senior Ball with me because all those Dartmouth students are taking the girls to the ball.'"
