Hee! Check out the cover of the July/August Dartmouth Alumni Magazine:
I’ve noticed a couple of blog postings about Dartmouth’s featuring its most famous (sort of) alumnus; here’s one that gives a brief overview. And this one, from LiveJournal, includes an amusing Photoshopped image:
Stephen Colbert in Dartmouth Alumni Magazine
The July/August issue of DAM arrived in the mail on Saturday, and upon seeing the cover, Cara, my housemate, exclaimed, “Stephen Colbert went to Dartmouth?” I explained that he did not really go to Dartmouth, but his fictional persona did.
. . .
The author of the article was not able to get any information about Colbert’s fictional Dartmouth days from Colbert’s office, so the whole article only reports on “memories” that alumni from that period have of him. There are several photoshopped pictures as well. He is implicated in the conservative shenanigans on campus during those four years, as well as being given credit for masterminding the recent attempted takeover of the Board of Trustees by conservative interests. He is portrayed as being lonely, awkward, and a poor student …

I’m amused that his character has become so three-dimensional that people are writing their own stuff about his history. It’s just like Sherlock Holmes….

at first that article seemed too true, like it would confuse people, but after a few paragraphs I concluded that it is very well-written. thanks for the PDF!

Haha! Thanks for the .pdf! What a great “history” of “Stephen”‘s time at Dartmouth. It’s so neat to see fans take his character places that he hasn’t gone yet…just when you thought there wasn’t such a place.
