's award-winning yearbookhttp://www.dartmouthyearbook.com. Published annually, the Aegis captures the passions, experiences, and perspectives of students during their four years at Dartmouth. The main sections of the yearbook are campus events, student life, student organizations, sports, academics, and the senior section.
To the ancient Greeks the Aegis was Zeus' celestial shield and was emblematic of heavenly majesty. Today, the word is synonymous with guidance and protection. Its goal, like the shield of yore, is to represent, guide, and protect the splendor of Dartmouth College. The yearbook represents the effort of an entire staff that is dedicated to capturing the beautiful images of Dartmouth College. Each year Aegis staff members attempt to endow the book with the passions, experiences and perspectives of students at the College.
The Aegis' mission statement, as stated in the Aegis Constitution:
The Aegis exists at Dartmouth College because it is strongly felt that there is a need for a pictorial account of life on the Hanover Plain. The Aegis shall not be grandiloquent, but the effort is to be made to capture a bit of the splendor, the agony, the triumph, the discouragement --- the green grass, the white snow, the brown mud, and the uniqueness of personage who find in it all something to carry away. As a piece of worthy public relations and proud memorabilia, The Aegis is a valuable and concrete record of a year on campus. And thus it is that The Aegis helps to save a bit of what Dartmouth is every year. The Aegis occupies a position of traditional luxury, and Dartmouth College has none other quite like it.
The 2005 Aegis earned the 2006 Award of Recognition.
The 1994, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Aegis won the Benny or Best of Category award, given to the best yearbook in the nation by the Printing Industries of America, Inc. based on high standards of print and design. The Aegis was the first college yearbook in the nation to have won the Benny three times consecutively.
