Tuck（塔克）故事 by Tuck2012
"This, sir, is my case. It is the case not merely of that humble institution, it is the case of every college in our land... Sir, you may destroy this little institution; it is weak; it is in your hands! I know it is one of the lesser lights in the literary horizon of our country. You may put it out. But if you do so you must carry through your work! You must extinguish, one after another, all those greater lights of science which for more than a century have thrown their radiance over our land. It is, sir, as I have said, a small college. And yet there are those who love it!"
—— Daniel Webster (Dartmouth College v. Woodward)
在这里，我们选择了Daniel Webster在1816年的听证会上做出的著名陈词作为新一期Tuck故事的开始。1816年，New Hampshire州政府要求将Dartmouth College收回作为州立大学，而Daniel作为Dartmouth的律师，在听证会上为了捍卫自己的母校慷慨陈词。他最终胜利了。而他在陈词中所说的“It is, sir, as I have said, a small college. And yet there are those who love it!"也变成了所有Dartmouth校友的信条，在校园里随处可见。而他本人，也因为这次著名的申诉，成为Dartmouth’s favourite son。
可以说，没有Daniel Webster，就没有现在的常青藤Dartmouth College，更没有建于1900年的Tuck商学院。每一个Dartmouth的学生，不管是本科生、Dartmouth Medical School的学生、 Thayer School of Engineering的学生、还是 Tuck School of Business的学生，都因为“Dartmouth students”这个统一的身份连接起来，亲如家人。这是Dartmouth的传统，也是Tuck引以为豪的Close community的根源。
Tuck是一个很特别的学校，它并不适合每一个人。希望通过这一期的Tuck（塔克）故事，能让大家更加深入和全面的了解这所学校的过去、现在与未来，从而做出最适合自己的选择。
Tuck MBA是一个很小的program，两届学生加起来不过500人左右。而整个Dartmouth College也不过5000余人。Yes, it's small. And yet there are those, us, who love it! |
