The Aegis

The Aegis, founded in 1859, is Dartmouth College's award winning yearbook. The Aegis originally published three times a year but became an annual publication in 1876. 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. Our 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 we attempt to endow the book with the passions, experiences and perspectives of students at the College.
