Dr. Kim Laughing at Dartmouth
Dr. Jim Yong Kim, Korean-born Harvard Medical School official and newly appointed President of Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, is being aggressively courted by officials from both South and North Korea before he makes his final decisions about the future of the College.
During his acceptance speech in March, Kim outlined his plans to build “on the many achievements of Jim Wright and his predecessors that have made Dartmouth the vibrant, world-class institution it is today” and to “help build on Dartmouth’s great traditions as well as its singular role in higher education.”
According to Kim, the first steps include “taking sides” in the great battle between the mighty forces of communism and capitalism on the Korean peninsula and renaming Dartmouth College to represent its new alignment.
