History

Dartmouth was established by Eleazar Wheelock, a Congregational pastor from Columbia, Connecticut, who had beforehand tried to build up a school to prepare Native Americans as Christian teachers. Wheelock's apparent motivation for such a foundation came about because of his association with Mohegan Indian Samson Occom. Occom turned into an appointed priest subsequent to examining under Wheelock from 1743 to 1747, and later moved to Long Island to lecture the Montauks.

Wheelock established Moor's Indian Charity School in 1755. The Charity School demonstrated to some degree fruitful, however extra subsidizing was important to proceed with school's operations, and Wheelock looked for the assistance of companions to raise cash. Occom, joined by the Reverend Nathaniel Whitaker, headed out to England in 1766 to raise cash from places of worship. With these assets, they set up a trust to help Wheelock. The leader of the trust was a Methodist named William Legge, second Earl of Dartmouth.

In spite of the fact that the asset gave Wheelock abundant budgetary backing to the Charity School, Wheelock at first experienced difficulty enrolling Indians to the foundation, principally on the grounds that its area was a long way from tribal domains. In trying to grow the school into a school, Wheelock migrated it to Hanover, in the Province of New Hampshire. The move from Connecticut took after a protracted and infrequently disappointing push to discover assets and secure a sanction. The Royal Governor of New Hampshire, John Wentworth, gave the area whereupon Dartmouth would be fabricated and on December 13, 1769, issued the sanction for the sake of King George III building up the College. That contract made a school "for the training and guideline of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land in perusing, composing and all parts of Learning whi

ch might seem vital and practical for enlightening and christianizing Children of Pagans and additionally in every liberal Art and Sciences furthermore of English Youth and any others." The reference to teaching Native American youth was incorporated to associate Dartmouth to the Charity School and empower utilization of the Charity School's unspent trust stores. Named for William Legge, second Earl of Dartmouth—an imperative supporter of Eleazar Wheelock's prior endeavors however who, actually, restricted formation of the College and never gave to it—Dartmouth is the country's ninth most seasoned school and the last foundation of higher learning set up under Colonial rule.[19] The College allowed its first degrees in 1771

Given the restricted achievement of the Charity School, be that as it may, Wheelock proposed his new school as one basically for whites. Occom, baffled with Wheelock's takeoff from the school's unique objective of Indian Christianization, went ahead to shape his own group of New England Indians called Brothertown Indians in New York.

In 1819, Dartmouth College was the subject of the noteworthy Dartmouth College case, which tested New Hampshire's 1816 endeavor to correct the school's illustrious sanction to make the school a state funded college. A foundation called Dartmouth University possessed the school structures and started working in Hanover in 1817, however the school kept showing classes in leased rooms nearby.[12] Daniel Webster, a graduate of the class of 1801, exhibited the College's case to the Supreme Court, which found the revision of Dartmouth's sanction to be an illicit weakness of an agreement by the state and switched New Hampshire's takeover of the school. Webster finished up his talk with the celebrated words: "It is, Sir, as I have said, a little school. But there are the individuals who love it."

In 1866, the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts was joined in Hanover, regarding Dartmouth College. The organization was formally connected with Dartmouth and was coordinated by Dartmouth's leader. The new school was moved to Durham, New Hampshire, in 1891, and later got to be known as the University of New Hampshire.

Dartmouth developed onto the national scholastic stage at the turn of the twentieth century. Preceding this period, the school had clung to customary strategies for direction and was generally ineffectively funded.[8] Under President William Jewett Tucker (1893–1909), Dartmouth experienced a noteworthy renewal of offices, staff, and the understudy body, taking after extensive blessings, for example, the $10,000 given by Dartmouth former student and law teacher John Ordronaux.20 new structures supplanted old-fashioned structures, while the understudy body and workforce both extended triple. Tucker is frequently credited for having "refounded Dartmouth" and bringing it into national prestige.

Presidents Ernest Fox Nichols (1909–16) and Ernest Martin Hopkins (1916–45) proceeded with Tucker's pattern of modernization, further enhancing grounds offices and presenting specific confirmations in the 1920s.[8] John Sloan Dickey, serving as president from 1945 until 1970, emphatically accentuated the human sciences, especially open strategy and universal relations.

Amid World War II, Dartmouth was one of 131 schools and colleges broadly that joined in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered understudies a way to a naval force commissio 

In 1970, long-term teacher of arithmetic and software engineering John George Kemeny got to be president of Dartmouth.[28] Kemeny directed a few noteworthy changes at the school. Dartmouth, beforehand serving as a men's foundation, started conceding ladies as full-time understudies and college degree hopefuls in 1972 in the midst of much controversy. At about the same time, the school embraced its "Dartmouth Plan" of scholastic booking, allowing the understudy body to increment in size inside the current facilities.[28] In 1988, Dartmouth's place of graduation melody's verses changed from "Men of Dartmouth" to "Dear old Dartmouth". 

Amid the 1990s, the school saw a noteworthy scholastic redesign under President James O. Freedman and a disputable (and eventually unsuccessful) 1999 activity to empower the school's single-sex Greek houses to go coed. The main decade of the 21st century saw the initiation of the $1.3 billion Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the biggest capital gathering pledges crusade in the school's history, which surpassed $1 billion in 2008. The mid-and late first decade of the 21st century have likewise seen broad grounds development, with the erection of two new lodging edifices, full redesign of two residences, and an imminent feasting corridor, life sciences focus, and visual expressions center. In 2004, Booz Allen Hamilton chose Dartmouth College as a model of institutional perseverance "whose record of continuance has had suggestions and advantages for every single American association, both scholarly and business," refering to Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward and Dartmouth's effective self-rehash in the late nineteenth century.
