With only one of the four founders of the program left (Warren Foote) the hockey team wasn't able to sustain the success they found in their second season and finished with a 1–5–1 record.
|
Note: Dartmouth College did not possess a moniker for its athletic teams until the 1920s, however, the university had adopted 'Dartmouth Green' as its school color in 1866.

Geetha Angara homicide
|
On the afternoon of February 9, 2005, the body of Geetha Angara, a chemist who had not been seen since the previous morning when she had gone to the water tanks to take samples, was found in a water tank at the Passaic Valley Water Commission treatment facility in Totowa, New Jersey, United States, after the tanks had been drained.
|
A radio and broken beaker she had been carrying when last seen alive were also found in the water below an access panel that was slightly ajar.
|
Broken glass was found on the floor near that panel.
|
An autopsy found bruises on Angara's neck consistent with choking, as well as on her waist and elbows, suggesting she had been involved in a violent struggle, but not a deadly one.
|
The cause of death was determined to be drowning, as she was alive when she had gone into the water.
|
Investigators classified the case as a homicide, believing the killing had been intentional; they put Angara's death as having occurred the day before.
|
Since access to the plant was tightly controlled, police believed that the responsible party was someone else in the plant that day.
|
After interviewing all of Angara's coworkers over the next few months, detectives found some possible motives and narrowed a list of possible suspects down to eight men.
|
Three were ultimately considered suspects, but after further investigation the case went cold, and they have not been publicly identified and no arrests have been made.
|
Investigators have also considered the possibility that the death was purely accidental, based on the work of a Scottish pathologist who argues that injuries very similar to those associated with strangulation can occur as victims drown in very cold water such as that Angara was found in—the theory is that the plate over the tank might negligently have been left open following some sample collection for water testing.
|
Struck by similarities with a 1968 killing of a woman, also in Passaic County, alone while in a high-security industrial complex on a weekend, they looked for leads in that case's file.
|
In 2007, Angara's family, frustrated by the lack of progress, successfully pushed for the state's Attorney General to review the case, but that effort did not result in any new leads or information either.
|
Born in Chennai, India, in 1961, Angara earned bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry from Loyola College, Chennai, the first woman in the school's history to do so.
|
As the top student in the class, she earned a gold medal.
|
In 1984, she emigrated to the U.S., where she earned additional master's degrees and a doctorate in organic chemistry from New York University.
|
Angara married another Indian emigré who worked in banking, and the couple shortly had the first of their three children, settling at first in Clifton, New Jersey, a suburb in Passaic County.
|
After a year at Merck analyzing compounds, in 1992 Angara began working for the Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC), a public utility owned by Clifton and the neighboring cities of Passaic and Paterson, which provides of water daily to 800,000 customers in those cities and 14 other communities in that region of North Jersey.
|
Seven years later, the family moved to Holmdel, to the south in Monmouth County, where they believed the school system was better.
|
In 2003 an episode of "", "", used the plant as one of its filming locations.
|
It centered on a coverup of lethal fraternity hazing; one scene had a character's body found floating in a tank.
|
"Brotherhood" was the show's first episode aired in 2004.
|
Angara had been considering leaving the PVWC, but changed her mind after she was promoted to senior chemist of the plant and earned a plant operator's license.
|
In that position, she took the lead in transitioning the Totowa plant from the chlorination it had been using to purify its water to an ozone-based process.
|
She was proud of her work on that project, but some of her coworkers had resented both her promotion and the switch, her husband later recalled.
|
Angara did not socialize much with her coworkers, other than a few she worked with closely, preferring to concentrate on her work.
|
In August 2004, the ozone system, to the extent it had been installed, failed briefly due to poor welding.
|
In late January 2005, the discovery of a pinkish substance in the treated water, during a week Angara was out sick, heightened tensions in the PVWC workplace, since Angara was asked to retrain some coworkers as a result.
|
Angara had also begun the process of applying for another license, which aroused more antipathy among those coworkers who disliked her.
|
Another coworker later told "People" this attitude was at least in part racially motivated: "Ninety-eight percent of the plant is white, and not all of them like seeing immigrants do well".
|
On the morning of February 8, Angara arrived at 7:30 a.m. and worked until a 9:45 a.m. breakfast with her immediate coworkers.
|
One, a subordinate of hers, told her that the plant's filters and clarity sensors needed to be calibrated, an assertion supported by plant records.
|
The group left for another building shortly before 10 a.m.; Angara returned to the building where she usually worked at 10:30.
|
Angara was carrying a clipboard, beaker, and a two-way radio.
|
She left a sandwich on her desk, apparently intending to eat it when she returned from a task her coworkers said she had done many times without incident.
|
It was the last time Angara was seen alive.
|
The subordinate who had reminded her of the need to calibrate the instruments went into the basement themselves, noticing broken glass on the floor in one area about 15 to 20 minutes later.
|
By 11 a.m. the subordinate was asking other workers in the lab if anyone had seen Angara.
|
Angara's absence would not otherwise be noticed at work until 9:20 p.m. that night, when a worker on the night shift noted that her car was still in the parking lot; another worker noticed that her sandwich still on her desk where she had left it and her coat was still in the closet.
|
Her coworkers returned to work from their homes to search the building for her.
|
Repeated calls to her cell phone from her family in Holmdel, where she was supposed to give her daughter a ride to an afternoon basketball game, had gone unanswered.
|
Workers at the plant called the Angaras to say they could not find her at the plant and it did not appear she had ever left.
|
Before midnight, she had been reported missing to police.
|
Workers searching the basement found an area where one of the , aluminum floor panels that opened onto the million-gallon () tanks was slightly ajar, and the 12 screws which normally held it in place were broken or missing.
|
On the floor nearby were some shards of broken glass consistent with the beaker Angara had been carrying.
|
These were swept up and thrown away.
|
At 2 a.m. on February 9, PVWC officials shut the plant down so that the tank below that panel could be drained.
|
When it was, Angara's radio and clipboard were found.
|
Over the course of the day, the other tanks were drained.
|
At 6:30 p.m. Angara's body was found in the clear well, a different tank it had drifted into.
|
Before refilling the tanks and restoring service, the commission issued a boil-water order to customers as a precaution; this was lifted at the end of the following day.
|
Angara's body was autopsied by the Passaic County coroner's office.
|
The pathologists found that she was alive when she went into the water and reported the cause of death as drowning.
|
But her neck had deep bruises suggesting a strangulation attempt prior to death.
|
Other bruises on her waist and elbow suggested a struggle Six days after Angara's death, county prosecutor James Avigliano announced that the case would be investigated as a homicide.
|
Detectives' case theory was that whoever had killed Angara had likely incapacitated her first (exactly how, if not just through the strangulation, has not been made public since only the killer would know that; some accounts suggest she was struck on the head, but with only bare hands), and then opened the access panel and dumped her in, then hastily replaced the panel.
|
An alarm system that would have gone off when it detected significant displacement in the water was not functioning.
|
The tank was unlit and there was no ladder that would have allowed Angara to climb up into the between the water surface and the basement floor; the water itself filled the tank to a uniform depth of leaving no place to stand.
|
The circumstances made it difficult to find forensic evidence that might lead to the killer.
|
Angara's body had been immersed for over a day, and the heavy chlorination in the water eliminated any trace evidence, such as DNA or fingerprints, that another person might have left on it or her clothing during the final struggle.
|
The glass fragments from the beaker on the floor near the panel had been irretrievably disposed of shortly after they were found,
|
Many firefighters and police officers, as well as plant workers, had walked through the putative crime scene before the body was found, leaving it severely compromised.
|
While there were many security cameras elsewhere in the plant complex, there were none in the basement above the tanks.
|
Loud machinery in the area where Angara was attacked would have muffled any sounds like a scream, struggle, or broken glass.
|
This paucity of evidence was offset by the limited pool of suspects.
|
Access to the treatment plant complex was tightly controlled, with only one driveway and a manned security post where all entrants had to check in, monitored by a camera (although once they had been cleared, they could move about the complex freely).
|
Most of the property was otherwise fenced off, except for the south side on the Passaic River.
|
Security records showed that no one was in the complex that day who had not been cleared.
|
Of the plant's 83 other employees, 50 had come to work that day.
|
Police believed one of those people had killed Angara.
|
Since the autopsy showed she had not been sexually assaulted, they ruled out that as a motive.
|
They also dismissed any attempt to emulate the "Special Victims Unit" episode.
|
Instead, after learning of the animosity some of her coworkers had for Angara, they looked to that.
|
Two women were known to have widely disliked Angara, but no one thought they were capable of killing her over that.
|
Detectives found that many of her coworkers thought well of her, saying that in addition to being devoted to her work and cheerful, she was modest, asking them not to address her as "Doctor" and simply use her first name instead.
|
Her job responsibilities as senior chemist did not include hiring or firing authority, making it unlikely that a workplace dispute could have arisen from those possibilities.
