DART MOUTH COLLEGE

a seat of higher learning for men, situated at Hanover, N.H. It had its origin in a school for the education of Indian children, founded by the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock in 1754, in Lebanon, Conn. The school was known as Moor's Indian Charity School after a farmer who provided the house and land. Funds for the school’s maintenance were provided by the general courts of Ma achuset and New Hampshire: Financial aid also came from England, where a sum of $50,000 was subscribed, one of the chief contributors being the Earl of Dart mouth, who headed a board of trustees which was organized. The school was removed to Hanover, where the State of New Hampshire gave the establishment grants of 44,000 acres of land. There the institution was chartered as Dart mouth College in 1769, and Dr. Wheelock was made its first president. The college in 1819 was the means of inspiring a famous judgment of the U.S. Supreme Court bearing on corporation law, the case arising from a dispute between the college trustees and the State of New Hampshire. The latter sought, by revising the college charter to ini crease. to impair it.
