History

The Charter of Dartmouth College on display in Baker Memorial Library. Fisher Ames Baker Memorial Library is the main Library at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The Charter was signed on December 13, 1769, on behalf of King George III of Great Britain.

Dartmouth was founded by Eleazar Wheelock, a Puritan minister from Connecticut, who sought to establish a school to train Indians as ministers to spread civilization and Christianity. Eleazar Wheelock ( April 22, 1711 &ndash April 24, 1779) was an American Congregational minister orator educator and founder of A Puritan of 16th and 17th century England was an associate of any number of religious groups advocating for more "purity" of Worship and Doctrine, Wheelock's inspiration for such an establishment largely resulted from his relationship with Mohegan Indian Samson Occom. The Mohegan tribe is an Algonquian-speaking tribe that lives in eastern upper Thames valley Connecticut The Reverend Samson Occom (1723 &ndash 1792 (also called Samson Occum) was a Native American Presbyterian clergyman and a member of the Mohegan nation Occom became an ordained minister after studying under Wheelock’s tutelage from 1743 to 1747 and later moved to Long Island to preach to the Montauks. Long Island is an island located in southeastern New York, USA, its western shores directly across from Manhattan, from which the island stretches ^[19]

Wheelock instituted Moor's Indian Charity School in 1755. ^[20] The Charity School proved somewhat successful, but additional funding was necessary to continue school’s operations. To this end, Wheelock sought the help of friends to raise money. Occom, accompanied by Reverend Nathaniel Whitaker, traveled to England in 1766 to raise money in the dissenting churches of that nation. With the funds, they established a trust to help Wheelock. ^[19]

Although the fund provided Wheelock ample financial support for the Charity School, Wheelock had trouble recruiting Indians to the institution – primarily because its location was far from tribal territories. Receiving the best land offer from New Hampshire, Wheelock approached the Royal Governor of the Province of New Hampshire John Wentworth for a charter. Sir John Wentworth ( 9 August 1737 &ndash 8 April[[ 820]] was the British colonial governor of New Hampshire at the time of the Wentworth, acting in the name King George III of the United Kingdom, granted Dartmouth a royal charter on December 13, 1769, establishing the final colonial college and naming the institution after his English friend, William Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouth.

The historical phenomenon of Christianization (or Christianisation &mdash see spelling differences) the conversion of individuals to Christianity . . ] and also of English youth and any others. " Given the failure of the Charity School, however, Wheelock intended his new College as one primarily for whites. ^[21][19]

Wheelock had established a collegiate department within Moor's Charity School in 1768. He moved the school to Hanover in 1770 where the College granted its first degrees in 1771. ^[22] Occom, disappointed with Wheelock's departure from the school's original goal of Indian Christianization, went on to form his own community of New England Indians called Brothertown Indians in New York. The Brothertown Indians (also Brotherton) are Native American descendants of the Pequot and Mohegan ( Algonquian-speaking) tribes in southern ^[19][21]

In 1819, Dartmouth College was the subject of the historic Dartmouth College case, in which the State of New Hampshire's 1816 attempt to amend the College's royal charter to make the school a public university was challenged. Trustees of Dartmouth College v Woodward, 17 US (4 Wheat 518 ( 1819) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case dealing with the application New Hampshire ( is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. An institution called Dartmouth University occupied the College buildings and began operating in Hanover in 1817, though the College continued teaching classes in rented rooms nearby. Not to be confused with Dartmouth College. Dartmouth University is a defunct institution in New Hampshire, the result of a thwarted ^[19] Daniel Webster, an alumnus of the class of 1801, presented the College's case to the Supreme Court of the United States, which found the amendment of Dartmouth's charter to be an illegal impairment of a contract by the state and reversed New Hampshire's takeover of the College.

Dartmouth emerged onto the national academic stage at the turn of the twentieth century. Prior to this period, the College had been relatively unknown and poorly funded. ^[11] Under the presidency of William Jewett Tucker (1893-1909), Dartmouth underwent a major revitalization of facilities, faculty, and the student body. The Rev William Jewett Tucker (1839-1926 served as the 9th President of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, United States, from 1893 to 1909 Twenty new structures replaced antiquated buildings, while the student body and faculty both expanded threefold. Tucker is often credited for having "refounded Dartmouth" and bringing it into national prestige. ^[23] Presidents Ernest Fox Nichols (1909-16) and Ernest Martin Hopkins (1916-45) continued Tucker's trend of modernization, further improving campus facilities and introducing selective admissions in the 1920s. Ernest Fox Nichols ( June 1, 1869 &ndash April 29, 1924) was a U Ernest Martin Hopkins served as the 11th President of Dartmouth College from 1916 to 1945 College admissions in the United States refers to the annual process of applying to institutions of Higher education in the United States for Undergraduate study ^[11] John Sloan Dickey, serving as president from 1945 until 1970, strongly emphasized the liberal arts (particularly public policy and international relations). John Sloan Dickey ( 4 November 1907 &ndash 9 February 1991) was an American diplomat scholar and intellectual ^[11][24]

In 1970, longtime professor of mathematics and computer science John George Kemeny became president of Dartmouth. Mathematics is the body of Knowledge and Academic discipline that studies such concepts as Quantity, Structure, Space and Computer science (or computing science) is the study and the Science of the theoretical foundations of Information and Computation and their John George Kemeny (Kemény János György ( May 31, 1926, Budapest – December 26, 1992, New Hampshire) was a Hungarian ^[25] Kemeny presided over several major changes at the College. Dartmouth, previously serving as a men's institution, began admitting women as full-time students and undergraduate degree candidates in 1972 amid much controversy. ^[26] At about the same time, the College adopted its "Dartmouth Plan" of academic scheduling, permitting the student body to increase in size within the existing facilities. ^[25]

During the 1990s, the College saw a major academic overhaul under President James O. Freedman and a controversial 1999 initiative to alter the character of the school's single-sex Greek houses. James Oliver Freedman ( September 21, 1935 - March 21, 2006) was a career academic administrator ^[11][27] The 2000s saw the commencement of the $1. 3 billion Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the largest capital fundraising campaign in the College's history, which as of January 2008 has surpassed $1 billion and is on schedule to be completed before 2010. ^[28][29] The mid- and late 2000s have also seen extensive campus construction, with the erection of two new housing complexes, full renovation of two dormitories, and a forthcoming dining hall, life sciences center, and visual arts center. ^[30]

Since the election of a number of petition elections to the Board of Trustees starting in 2004, the role of alumni in Dartmouth governance has been the subject of ongoing ideological conflict. ^[31] In February 2008, it was announced that current president James Wright would step down in June 2009. James Edward Wright (born 1939) is a Historian and currently the sixteenth president of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university in Hanover ^[32]

Academics and administration

Until it burned in 1904, Dartmouth Hall (first built in 1784) was the oldest building on Dartmouth's campus. (It was rebuilt the following year, shown here. )^[33]

Dartmouth, a liberal arts institution, offers only a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree to undergraduate students. The term liberal arts refers to a particular type of educational Curriculum broadly defined as a Classical education. ^[34][10] There are 39 academic departments offering 56 major programs, although students are free to design special majors or engage in dual majors. An academic major, major concentration, concentration, or simply major is mainly a U ^[35] In 2008, the most popular majors were economics, government, history, psychology and brain sciences, english, biology, and engineering sciences. ^[36] Other requirements for graduation include the completion of ten "distributive requirements" in a variety of academic fields, proficiency in a foreign language, and completion of a writing class or first-year seminar in writing. ^[37] Many departments offer honors programs requiring students seeking that distinction to engage in "independent, sustained work," culminating in the production of a thesis. A dissertation (also called thesis or disquisition) is a document that presents the author's Research and findings and is submitted in support of candidature ^[37] In addition to the courses offered in Hanover, Dartmouth offers 57 different off-campus programs, including Foreign Study Programs, Language Study Abroad programs, and Exchange Programs. ^[38][39]

Dartmouth also grants degrees in nineteen Arts & Sciences graduate programs. ^[10] Furthermore, Dartmouth is home to three graduate schools: Dartmouth Medical School (established 1797), Thayer School of Engineering (1867)—which also serves as the undergraduate department of engineering sciences—and Tuck School of Business (1900). Dartmouth Medical School ( DMS) is the Medical school of Dartmouth College, located in Hanover New Hampshire, in the United States Thayer School of Engineering is a Graduate school and undergraduate academic department of Engineering at Dartmouth College, located in Hanover New The Amos Tuck School of Business Administration is the graduate Business school of Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire, United States With these graduate programs, conventional American usage would accord Dartmouth the label of "Dartmouth University";^[10] however, because of historical and nostalgic reasons (such as Dartmouth College v. Woodward), the school uses the name "Dartmouth College" for the entire institution. Trustees of Dartmouth College v Woodward, 17 US (4 Wheat 518 ( 1819) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case dealing with the application ^[19]

Dartmouth employs a total of 597 tenured or tenure-track faculty members, including the highest proportion of female tenured professors among the Ivy League universities. ^[10] Faculty members have been at the forefront of such major academic developments as the Dartmouth Conferences, the Dartmouth Time Sharing System, Dartmouth BASIC, and Dartmouth ALGOL 30. The Dartmouth Summer Research Conference on Artificial Intelligence was the name of a conference now considered the seminal event for Artificial intelligence as a The Dartmouth Time-Sharing System, or DTSS for short was the first large-scale Time-sharing system to be implemented successfully Dartmouth BASIC is the original version of the BASIC programming language. Dartmouth ALGOL 30 was an implementation firstly of ALGOL 58, then of ALGOL 60 for the LGP-30 at Dartmouth College, hence the name As of 2005, sponsored project awards to Dartmouth faculty research amounted to $169 million. ^[40]

Dartmouth functions on a quarter system, operating year-round on four ten-week academic terms. This list of Dartmouth College faculty includes current and former instructors and administrators of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university located in Hanover Fisher Ames Baker Memorial Library is the main Library at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. An academic term is a division of an academic year the time during which a School, College or University holds classes The Dartmouth Plan (or simply "D-Plan") is an academic scheduling system that permits the customization of each student's academic year. All undergraduates are required to be in residence for the fall, winter, and spring terms of their freshman and senior years, as well as the summer term of their sophomore year. ^[41] During all other terms, students are permitted to choose between studying on-campus, studying at an off-campus program, or taking a term off for vacation, outside internships, or research projects. ^[41] The typical course load is three classes per term, and students will generally enroll in classes for twelve total terms over the course of their academic career. ^[42]

The D-Plan was instituted in the early 1970s at the same time that Dartmouth began accepting female undergraduates. It was initially devised as a plan to increase the enrollment without enlarging campus accommodations, and has been described by some commentators as "a way to put 4,000 students into 3,000 beds. "^[11] Although new dormitories have been built since, the number of students has also increased and the D-Plan remains in effect and mainly unchanged.

Partially due to Dartmouth's rural, isolated location, the Greek system dating from the 1840s is one of the most popular social outlets for students. Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal ^[105][14] Dartmouth is home to 27 recognized Greek houses: 15 fraternities, nine sororities, and three coeducational organizations. ^[106] As of 2007, over 60% of eligible students belong to a Greek organization;^[107] since 1987, students have not been permitted to join Greek organizations until their sophomore year. ^[108] Dartmouth College was among the first institutions of higher education to desegregate fraternity houses in the 1950s, and was involved in the movement to create coeducational Greek houses in the 1970s. Desegregation is the process of ending Racial segregation, most commonly used in reference to the United States. Mixed-sex education, (or just Mixed education) also known as Coeducation, is the integrated education to males and females at the same school facilities ^[109] In the early 2000s, campus-wide debate focused on a Board of Trustees recommendation that Greek organizations become "substantially coeducational";^[110] this attempt to the change the Greek system eventually failed. ^[111] The College has an additional classification of social/residential organizations known as undergraduate societies.

Technology plays an important role in student life, as Dartmouth has been ranked as one of the most technologically-advanced colleges in the world (as in Newsweek's 2004 ranking of "Hottest for the Tech-Savvy"^[118] and Yahoo!'s 1998 "Wired Colleges" list^[119]). Newsweek is an American weekly Newsmagazine published in New York City. BlitzMail, the campus e-mail network, plays a tremendous role in social life, as students tend to use it for communication in lieu of cellular phones or instant messaging programs. BlitzMail is an E-mail system used at Dartmouth College.

Native Americans at Dartmouth

The charter of Dartmouth College, granted to Eleazar Wheelock in 1769, proclaims that the institution was created "for the education and instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land in reading, writing and all parts of Learning . Eleazar Wheelock ( April 22, 1711 &ndash April 24, 1779) was an American Congregational minister orator educator and founder of . . as well as in all liberal Arts and Sciences; and also of English Youth and any others. "^[126] The funds for Dartmouth College were raised primarily by the efforts of a Native American named Samson Occom. The Reverend Samson Occom (1723 &ndash 1792 (also called Samson Occum) was a Native American Presbyterian clergyman and a member of the Mohegan nation ^[127]

Despite this initial mission, the College graduated only nineteen Native Americans during its first two hundred years. ^[127] In 1970, the College established Native American academic and social programs as part of a "new dedication to increasing Native American enrollment. "^[127] Since then, Dartmouth has graduated over 500 Native American students from over 120 different tribes, more than the other seven Ivy League universities combined. ^[127]

Traditions

Main article: Dartmouth College traditions

Dartmouth is well-known for its fierce school spirit and many traditions. The traditions of Dartmouth College, an American university in Hanover, New Hampshire, are deeply entrenched in the student life of the institution and ^[128] The College functions on a quarter system, and one weekend each term is set aside as a traditional celebratory event, known on campus as "big weekends"^[129][130] or "party weekends". An academic term is a division of an academic year the time during which a School, College or University holds classes ^[131] In the fall term, Homecoming (officially called Dartmouth Night) is marked by a bonfire on the Green constructed by the freshman class. ^[132] Winter term is celebrated by Winter Carnival, a tradition started in 1911 by the Dartmouth Outing Club to promote winter sports. ^[133] In the spring, Green Key is a weekend mostly devoted to campus parties and celebration. ^[134]

The summer term was formerly marked by Tubestock, an unofficial tradition in which the students used wooden rafts and inner tubes to float on the Connecticut River. The Connecticut River is the largest River in New England, flowing south from the Connecticut Lakes in northern New Hampshire, along the border Begun in 1986, Tubestock met its demise in 2006 when Hanover town ordinances and a lack of coherent student protest conspired to defeat the popular tradition. ^[135] The class of 2008, during their summer term on campus in 2006, replaced the defunct Tubestock with Fieldstock. This new celebration includes a barbecue, live music, and the revival of the 1970s and 1980s tradition of racing homemade chariots around the Green. Unlike Tubestock, Fieldstock is funded and supported by the College. ^[136]

Another longstanding tradition is four-day, student-run Dartmouth Outing Club trips for incoming freshmen, begun in 1935. The Dartmouth Outing Club ( DOC) is the oldest and largest collegiate outing club in the United States. Each trip concludes at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. Moosilauke Ravine Lodge is a cabin complex on the side of Mount Moosilauke in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. ^[137] In 2006, 85% of freshman elected to participate.

Insignia and other representations

Motto and song

Dartmouth's motto, chosen by Eleazar Wheelock, is "Vox Clamantis in Deserto". The Latin motto is literally translated as "The voice of one crying in the wilderness",^[138][139] but is more often rendered as "A voice crying in the wilderness",^[140] which attempts to translate the synecdoche of the phrase. Synecdoche is taken from Greek sinekdohi (συνεκδοχή meaning "simultaneous understanding" (si-nek-duh-kee (pronounced /sɪˈnɛkdoˌki/ The phrase appears five times in the Bible and is a reference to the College's location on what was once the frontier of European settlement. ^[139][141] Richard Hovey's "Men of Dartmouth" was elected as the best of Dartmouth's songs in 1896,^[132] and became the school's official song in 1926. The " Alma Mater " is the official school song of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university located in Hanover New Hampshire, United States ^[142] The song was retitled to "Alma Mater" in the 1980s when its lyrics were changed to refer to women as well as men. ^[143]

Seal

Seal of Dartmouth College

Main article: Seal of Dartmouth College

Dartmouth's 1769 royal charter required the creation of a seal for use on official documents and diplomas. The Seal of Dartmouth College refers to the official insignia of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university located in Hanover New Hampshire, United States A seal can mean a wax seal bearing an impressed figure or an embossed figure in paper with the purpose of authenticating a document but the term can also mean any device for ^[126] The College's founder Eleazar Wheelock designed a seal for his college bearing a striking resemblance to the seal of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, a missionary society founded in London in 1701, in order to maintain the illusion that his college was more for mission work than for higher education. Eleazar Wheelock ( April 22, 1711 &ndash April 24, 1779) was an American Congregational minister orator educator and founder of USPG (The United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, formed with the original name of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG ^[139] Engraved by a Boston silversmith, the seal was ready by Commencement of 1773. The trustees officially accepted the seal on August 25, 1773, describing it as:

On October 28, 1926, the trustees affirmed the charter's reservation of the seal for official corporate documents alone. Events 306 - Maxentius is proclaimed Roman Emperor. 312 - Battle of Milvian Bridge: Constantine Year 1926 ( MCMXXVI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. ^[139] The College Publications Committee commissioned typographer W. A. Dwiggins to create a line drawing version of the seal in 1940 that saw widespread use. Dwiggins' design was modified during 1957 to change the date from "1770" to "1769," to accord with the date of the College Charter. The trustees commissioned a new set of dies with a date of "1769" to replace the old dies, now badly worn after almost two hundred years of use. ^[139] The 1957 design continues to be used under trademark number 2305032. ^[145]

Shield

On October 28, 1926, the Trustees approved a "Dartmouth College Shield" for general use. Events 306 - Maxentius is proclaimed Roman Emperor. 312 - Battle of Milvian Bridge: Constantine Year 1926 ( MCMXXVI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Artist and engraver W. Parke Johnson designed this emblem on the basis of the shield that is depicted at the center of the original seal. This design does not survive. On June 9, 1944 the trustees approved another coat of arms based on the shield part of the seal, this one by Canadian artist and designer Thoreau MacDonald. Events 53 - Roman Emperor Nero marries Claudia Octavia 62 - Claudia Octavia commits Year 1944 ( MCMXLIV) was a Leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. A coat of arms or armorial bearings (often just arms for short in European tradition is a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people Country to "Dominion of Canada" or "Canadian Federation" or anything else please read the Talk Page Thoreau MacDonald (born April 21, 1901 at Toronto, Ontario; died May 30, 1989 at Toronto was a Canadian That design was used widely and, like Dwiggins' seal, had its date changed from "1770" to "1769" around 1958. ^[139] That version continues to be used under trademark registration number 3112676 and others. ^[145]

College designer John Scotford made a stylized version of the shield during the 1960s, but it did not see the success of MacDonald's design. ^[146] The shield appears to have been used as the basis of the shield of Dartmouth Medical School, and it has been reproduced in sizes as small as a few nanometers across. Dartmouth Medical School ( DMS) is the Medical school of Dartmouth College, located in Hanover New Hampshire, in the United States ^[147] The design has appeared on Rudolph Ruzicka's Bicentennial Medal (Philadelphia Mint, 1969) and elsewhere. Rudolph Ruzicka (1883–1978 prominent Czech-born American wood engraver, etcher, illustrator, typeface designer and book designer The Philadelphia Mint was created from the need to establish a national identity and the needs of commerce in the United States.

Nickname, symbol, and mascot

Dartmouth has never had an official mascot. ^[148] The nickname "The Big Green," originating in the 1860s, is based on students' adoption of a shade of forest green ("Dartmouth Green") as the school's official color in 1866. ^[149] Beginning in the 1920s, the Dartmouth College athletic teams were known by their unofficial nickname "the Indians," a moniker that probably originated among sports journalists. ^[148] This unofficial mascot and team name was used until the early 1970s, when its use came under criticism. In 1974, the Trustees declared the "use of the [Indian] symbol in any form to be inconsistent with present institutional and academic objectives of the College in advancing Native American education. "^[150] Some alumni and students, as well as the conservative student newspaper, The Dartmouth Review, have sought to return the Indian symbol to prominence,^[151] but no team has worn the symbol on its uniform in decades. The Dartmouth Review is a conservative independent bi-weekly Newspaper at Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire ( U ^[152]

Various student initiatives have been undertaken to adopt a new mascot, but none has become "official. " One proposal devised by the College humor magazine the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern was Keggy the Keg, an anthropomorphic beer keg who makes occasional appearances at College sporting events. The Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern (also known as the Jacko) is a college humor magazine, founded at Dartmouth College in 1908 Keggy the Keg is an unofficial mascot of Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university in Hanover New Hampshire, United States Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely Human characteristics to non-human creatures and beings natural and supernatural phenomena material states and objects Despite student enthusiasm for Keggy,^[153] the mascot has only received approval from the student government. ^[154] In November 2006, student government attempted to revive the "Dartmoose" as a potential replacement amid renewed controversy surrounding the former Indian mascot. ^[155]
