"You know, Dartmouth (College - He attended, but did not play) is just like the Giants: once a Giant, always a Giant. And this is quoted from Chaucer: once a Dartmouth, always a Dartmouth. You never lose that affection for the old school, regardless if you just get in there and get a cup of coffee. They instill that spirit into you that lasts. Dartmouth men are very, very close, all over the world. They'll never turn you down." - Chief Meyers in The Glory of Their Times (1992)
