Attacks by the Dartmouth Review

[edit]

Part One
Beginning in 1983, The Dartmouth Review – an arch-conservative publication[2] not affiliated with Dartmouth College but operated by students – ran a series of antagonistic articles that harshly ridiculed Cole, personally and professionally. Laura Ingraham, then a student, authored the first one in January 1983.[3][4][5][3] Dinesh D'Souza, then a student, was the paper's chairman; Edmond William Cattan, Jr., was editor-in-chief.[6] After two local newspapers cited the Review and declared Cole "incompetent", Cole sued the Review for slander.[4] Also, Cole, in April 1983, filed a libel suit in Burlington's U.S. District Court for $600,000 against the publisher (Hanover Review, Inc.), D'Souza, Cattan, and Ingraham – but later dropped that suit.[7][5] The slander case was settled out of court after two years without the Review admitting guilt or providing any monetary compensation, but both the Review's and Cole's reputations were damaged.[8]

New: April 19, 2021

  • Esi Eggleston Bracey ('91), a black student who witnessed the confrontation told PBS Frontline, "That moment let me know that there are people in the world who hate you just because of your color. Not dislike you, or choose not to be friends with you, but hate you".[9]

Ingraham was a sophomore when she wrote the article.link

Michael Collette was editor-in-chief in April 1984, when the Review was awaiting a decision from the U.S. District Court in Vermont.[10] The Review had written that Cole told his class, "Read little, think deeply – and much."

As for Cole's teaching style ... a generation earlier, Percy Grainger, an eccentric albeit beloved Australian-American composer, was, according to ?????:

"The most enthusiastic interpreter of primitive life could hardly do greater justice than Grainger to the superior possibility of individual participation in art among primitive communities than in our own. He says:"
"With regard to Music, our Western civilization produces, broadly speaking, two main types of educated men. On the one hand, the professional musician or leisured amateur-enthusiast who spend the bulk of his waking hours making music, and on the other hand, all those many millions of men and women whose lives are far too overworked and arduous, or too completely immersed in the ambitions and labyrinths of our material civilization, to be able to devote any reasonable proportion of their time to music or artistic expression of any kind at all."



Part Two
In 1988, four students who were Review journalists – John William Quilhot (with a camera), John Henby Sutter (with a tape recorder), Christopher Baldwin (with a printout of the Review's editorial policy statement), and Sean Nolan – all white, showed up to Cole's classroom, after class, to give Cole a copy of the editorial policy and demand an apology for his remarks during the second of two phone calls made in an attempt to give him an opportunity to reply to the article, "Dartmouth's Dynamic Duo of Mediocrity", of February 24, 1988. The confrontation grew into an altercation, for about five minutes, during which Quilhot was taking photos. Cole grabbed Quilhot's arm, which, among other things, resulted in damaging the camera flash.[11] Dartmouth College charged all four with harassment and disorderly conduct, and suspended the first three – Quilhot until fall 1988 (two quarters), Sutter until fall 1989 (four quarters), and Baldwin until fall 1989 (four quarters). Nolan was placed on disciplinary probation for four quarters.[11] A lawsuit, in Federal Court, against the college, filed in 1989 by the Review, ensued. On January 3, 1989, the Grafton County Superior Court, in state court parallel litigation, revoked the suspensions of Sutter and Baldwin. The Federal Court later dismissed the suit against Dartmouth College.[12]

When 60 Minutes aired a segment about the lawsuit November 13, 1988, Morley Safer, the host, left out the Review's political connections.[13] Quilhot was invited by then Senator Dan Quayle to spend his summer suspension as an unpaid volunteer in his Washington office.[14]

Prologue
The Review, founded in 1980, had been part of a movement to agitate Dartmouth's academic programs in non-Eurocentric disciplines, including Women's Studies, African-American Studies, ethnomusicology, and the like (see Eurocentrism). In doing so, the Review had published provocative criticism of its interpretation of political correctness on subjects ranging from Apartheid in South Africa to sexual orientation to race. William F. Buckley, Jr., and his publication, the National Review, supported the Review with (i) funding and (ii), from 1982 to 1998, more than two dozen editorials by authors that included Ingraham, Jeffrey Hart (Dartmouth faculty member whose son, Benjamin, had been an editor for the Review), and David Boaz.

Epilogue
In August 1990 – after sixteen years at Dartmouth with tenure, under duress of seven years of repeated attacks by the Review – Cole resigned.[5][15] "I was totally blackballed."[4] A year later, as a guest lecturer in Bill Dixon's class at Bennington College, Cole reflected on the cost of success in a White world: "I was taught all my life that if you get an education, things will open up. But what I learned is if you want to help your own people, it won't open up." "You have to sell yourself out enough so when you look in the mirror in the morning, you don't know who that is".[16][15]

1983 Lawsuit

[edit]

Part One
In April 1983, The Dartmouth Review – an arch-conservative publication[1] not affiliated with Dartmouth College but operated by students – published an antagonistic article that harshly ridiculed Cole, personally and professionally. Laura Ingraham, then a student, was the author of one of the articles.[2][3][4][2] Andrew Pickens III was editor-in-chief of the Review in April.[5]

(Dinesh D'Souza, also then a student, was – around that time – Editor-in-Chief of the Review.)[6]


Sequence of events

[edit]
  • Cole file suit against the Review and three students. He was the subject of three articles during the Winter of 1983, the first in mid-January written by Laura Ingraham. The suit asks for $600,000 from the
  1. Hanover Review, Inc.
  2. Edmond William Cattan, Jr., the paper's former editor-in-chief
  3. Dinesh D'Souza, the paper's former chairman, and
  4. Laura Ingraham, staff writer who wrote the article

Cole filed the suit in Burlington's U.S. District Court

  • John Long was attorney for Cole; at least 40 members of the Dartmouth College community contributed money to help Cole pay for the suit.
  • The Review was represented by Blair Soyster of Rogers and Wells of New York City and Hughs, Miller, and Candon of Norwich, Vermont. The New York firm was headed by former Secretary of State, William P. Rogers.

Libel case
After two local newspapers – the Rutland Herald and Valley News – cited the Review to declare Cole "incompetent", Cole sued the Review for slander.[3] Cole also sued the Review for libel, but later dropped that suit.[7][4]
Slander case
The slander case was settled out of court after two years without the Review admitting guilt or providing any monetary compensation, but both the Review's and Cole's reputations were damaged.[8]


"I was taught all my life that if you get an education, things will open up. But what I learned is if you want to help your own people, it won't open up." "You have to sell yourself out enough so when you look in the mirror in the morning, you don't know who that is." – Bill Cole, reflecting on the cost of success in a White world. October 30, 1991, speaking as a guest lecturer in Bill Dixon's class at Bennington College.[9]

1985 lawsuit against the DR

[edit]

Rev. Richard Allen Hyde (born 1951), a Dartmouth College chaplain since 1978, filed a $3-million libel suite, claiming that the Review libeled him in articles concerning his professional and personal life.

The suit was filed January 22, 1985, in Grafton County Superior Court, and alleged that the Review published "several articles containing false, misleading and inflammatory information about (his) personal and professional life."

Editor Laura Ingraham said the suit is based on a series of articles, one involving a satirical column on left-leaning Dartmouth faculty titled the "Dartmouth Liberation Front."[10] "That was in the context of a satire and absolutely defensible on that ground," she said.[11] Hyde's suit named the Review and two former editors, Dinesh D'Souza of Princeton, N.J., and Andrew Lee Pickens III (born 1962) (Phillips Exeter '80; Dartmouth '84; UCLA '90 JD) of Fairfield, Ohio.

The suit was settled. The Review published an apology. Among other things, the Review had published that Hyde defended a group that advocated sex with adolescents.[12][13]

Criticism of DR

[edit]
  • "President of Alternative Dartmouth Weekly Quits – 'I Cannot Allow the Review to Ruin My Life Any Further'". New York Times, The. Vol. 140, no. 48377 (Late ed.). October 3, 1990. p. A28. Retrieved April 17, 2021 – via TimesMachine LEAD: The president of The Dartmouth Review, a politically conservative student weekly newspaper, resigned today, denouncing the paper and its editor in chief for publishing on its masthead an anti-Semitic passage from Hitler's Mein Kampf.
    Unlike previous Review controversies, the center did not hold. "I cannot allow the Review to ruin my life any further," C. Tyler White declared soon after he resigned as President of the Review, "The official Review response, which I co-signed and helped distribute, avoids the main thrust of the issue. It does not emphasize our sorrow in this dreadful act of malice, nor does it claim responsibility for letting it reach newsprint ... The editor-in-chief has failed in his job, and now we must wear the albatross of anti-Semitism because he won't take responsibility for the issue’s contents." Review contributors David Budd and Pang-Chun Chen also resigned saying, "We are conservatives, but we are not Nazis ... " Budd noted that the paper’s apology implied "let’s put the blame on someone else." link
