Dartmouth College is a private, Ivy League university in Hanover, New Hampshire. The school was founded in 1769 by the Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, and it is one of the nine “colonial colleges” established in the Thirteen Colonies before the American Revolution. It was originally conceived for “the education and instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land … and also of English Youth and any others.” However, because of its significant distance from any tribal territories, it had trouble gaining traction in the Native American community and quickly became an institution primarily for white settlers.
The college was at the center of the landmark Dartmouth College v. Woodward case in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1819. The New Hampshire legislature was attempting to strong-arm the university into becoming a public institution, which would allow the state governor to appoint the university’s trustees. The Court voted in favor of the school, strengthening the right of private institutions and charters to conduct business free from public interference.
The school’s color is Dartmouth Green, and its athletic nickname is the Big Green.
Dartmouth consistently appears on various lists of the highest-ranked universities in the United States. Alumni have gone on to become Congressmen, governors, Cabinet secretaries, Nobel Prize winners, Rhodes Scholars, Pulitzer Prize winners, and even a U.S. Vice President (Nelson Rockefeller, 1974-1977). Notable graduates and attendees of Dartmouth include Daniel Webster, Robert Frost, Dinesh D’Souza, Fred Rogers, Theodor Geisel (a.k.a. Dr. Seuss), Shonda Rhimes, and Mindy Kaling.
