Exhibit 5: Dartmouth's Principle of Community

In June of 1980, The Board of Trustees endorsed the following "Principle of Community" for Dartmouth College:

The life and work of a Dartmouth student should be based on integrity, responsibility and consideration. In all activities each student is expected to be sensitive to and respectful of the rights and interests of others and to be personally honest. He or she should be appreciative of the diversity of the community as providing an opportunity for learning and moral growth.

This statement provides a basis for interaction between and among all members of the College, and each of us is expected to be mindful of it in pursuing our own interests as members of this community. (From the Student Handbook, 1999-2000, Dartmouth College.)
