Every morning the Hopkins Center wakes and shakes off the night as students arrive for breakfast at the Courtyard Café and check their Hinman boxes. Through afternoon classes and evening rehearsals the Hop buzzes into the late hours—sometimes all night—with performances, 24-hour drawing marathons and, of course, Dartmouth Seven seekers.
Much has changed in the last five decades, but the Hop remains the cultural heart of campus, beating with the nit and grit and grind of people trying to make something of their art—and of themselves.
A photographic tribute to the Hop highlights the center’s performance venues, studio spaces, and social areas, captured by photographer John Sherman.
