Dartmouth College (/drtm/ DART-mth) is a private Ivy League research university located
in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States. It consists of a liberal arts college, the Geisel School of
Medicine, the Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business, as well as 19
graduate programs in the arts and sciences.[6] Incorporated as the "Trustees of Dartmouth
College,"[7] it is one of the nine Colonial Colleges founded before the American Revolution.[8] With an
undergraduate enrollment of 4,276 and a total student enrollment of 6,342 (as of 2013), Dartmouth is
the smallest university in the Ivy League.[3] It was the last Ivy League school to admit women, in
1972.[9]
Dartmouth College was established in 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock, a Congregational minister. After a
long period of financial and political struggles, Dartmouth emerged in the early 20th century from
relative obscurity.[10]
Dartmouth's 269-acre (1.09 km2) campus is in the rural Upper Valley region of New Hampshire.
Participation in athletics and the school's Greek system is strong.[11] Dartmouth's 34 varsity sports
teams compete in the Ivy League conference of the NCAA Division I. Students are well known for
preserving a variety of strong campus traditions.[12][13][14][15]

History[edit]
See also: List of presidents of Dartmouth College
Dartmouth was founded by Eleazar Wheelock, a Puritan minister from Columbia, Connecticut, who
had previously sought to establish a school to train Native Americans as Christian missionaries.
Wheelock's ostensible inspiration for such an establishment resulted from his relationship
with Mohegan Indian Samson Occom. Occom became an ordained minister after studying under
Wheelock from 1743 to 1747, and later moved to Long Island to preach to the Montauks.[16]
Wheelock founded Moor's Indian Charity School in 1755.[17] The Charity School proved somewhat
successful, but additional funding was necessary to continue school's operations, and Wheelock
sought the help of friends to raise money. Occom, accompanied by the Reverend Nathaniel
Whitaker, traveled to England in 1766 to raise money from churches. With these funds, they
established a trust to help Wheelock.[16] The head of the trust was a Methodist named William Legge,
2nd Earl of Dartmouth.
The Charter of Dartmouth College on display in Baker Memorial Library. The Charter was signed on December
13, 1769, on behalf of King George III of Great Britain.
Although the fund provided Wheelock ample financial support for the Charity School, Wheelock
initially had trouble recruiting Indians to the institution, primarily because its location was far from
tribal territories. In seeking to expand the school into a college, Wheelock relocated it to Hanover, in
the Province of New Hampshire. The move from Connecticut followed a lengthy and sometimes
frustrating effort to find resources and secure a charter. The Royal Governor of New
Hampshire, John Wentworth, provided the land upon which Dartmouth would be built and on
December 13, 1769, issued the charter in the name of King George III establishing the College. That
charter created a college "for the education and instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land
in reading, writing & all parts of Learning which shall appear necessary and expedient for civilizing &
christianizing Children of Pagans as well as in all liberal Arts and Sciences and also of English Youth
and any others." The reference to educating Native American youth was included to connect
Dartmouth to the Charity School and enable use of the Charity School's unspent trust funds. Named
forWilliam Legge, 2nd Earl of Dartmouthan important supporter of Eleazar Wheelock's earlier
efforts but who, in fact, opposed creation of the College and never donated to itDartmouth is the
nation's ninth oldest college and the last institution of higher learning established under Colonial rule.
[18]
The College granted its first degrees in 1771.[19]
Given the limited success of the Charity School, however, Wheelock intended his new college as
one primarily for whites.[16][20] 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.[16][20]
The earliest known image of Dartmouth appeared in the February 1793 issue of Massachusetts Magazine. The
engraving may also be the first visual proof of cricket being played in the United States.[21]
In 1819, Dartmouth College was the subject of the historic Dartmouth College case, which
challenged New Hampshire's 1816 attempt to amend the college's royal charter to make the school
a public university. 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.[16] Daniel Webster, an alumnus of the class of 1801, presented the College's case to
the Supreme Court, 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. Webster
concluded his peroration with the famous words: "It is, Sir, as I have said, a small college. And yet
there are those who love it."[16]
Dartmouth emerged onto the national academic stage at the turn of the 20th century. Prior to this
period, the college had clung to traditional methods of instruction and was relatively poorly funded.
[10]
Under President William Jewett Tucker (18931909), Dartmouth underwent a major revitalization
of facilities, faculty, and the student body, following large endowments such as the $10,000 given by
Dartmouth alumnus and law professor John Ordronaux.[22] 20 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 (190916) and Ernest Martin Hopkins (191645) continued Tucker's
trend of modernization, further improving campus facilities and introducing selective admissions in
the 1920s.[10] John Sloan Dickey, serving as president from 1945 until 1970, strongly emphasized the
liberal arts, particularly public policy and international relations.[10][24]
During World War II, Dartmouth was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in
the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a navy commission.[25]
In 1970, longtime professor of mathematics and computer science John George Kemeny became
president of Dartmouth.[26] Kemeny oversaw 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.[27] 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.[26] In 1988, Dartmouth's alma mater song's lyrics
changed from "Men of Dartmouth" to "Dear old Dartmouth".[28]
During the 1990s, the college saw a major academic overhaul under President James O.
Freedman and a controversial (and ultimately unsuccessful) 1999 initiative to encourage the school's
single-sex Greek houses to go coed.[10][29] The first decade of the 21st century saw the
commencement of the $1.3 billion Campaign for the Dartmouth Experience, the largest capital
fundraising campaign in the college's history, which surpassed $1 billion in 2008. [30][31] The mid- and
late first decade of the 21st century 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.[32] In 2004, Booz Allen Hamilton selected Dartmouth College
as a model of institutional endurance "whose record of endurance has had implications and benefits
for all American organizations, both academic and commercial," citing Trustees of Dartmouth
College v. Woodward and Dartmouth's successful self-reinvention in the late 19th century.[33]
Since the election of a number of petition-nominated trustees to the Board of Trustees starting in
2004, the role of alumni in Dartmouth governance has been the subject of ongoing conflict.
[34]
President James Wright announced his retirement in February 2008[35]and was replaced by
Harvard University professor and physician Jim Yong Kim on July 1, 2009.[36]
In May 2010 Dartmouth joined the Matariki Network of Universities (MNU) together with Durham
University (UK), Queen's University (Canada), University of Otago (New Zealand), University of
Tbingen (Germany), University of Western Australia (Australia) andUppsala University (Sweden).[37]
Dartmouth's close association and involvement in the development of the downhill skiing industry is
featured in the 2010 book Passion for Skiing as well as the 2013 documentary based on the
book Passion for Snow.[38]
Academics[edit]
Dartmouth, a liberal arts institution, offers a four-year Bachelor of Arts and ABET-accredited Bachelor
of Engineering degree to undergraduate students.[39][8] The college boasts 39 academic departments
offering 56 major programs, while students are free to design special majors or engage in dual
majors.[40] In 2008, the most popular majors were economics, government, history, psychological and
brain sciences, English, biology, and engineering sciences.[41] The Government Department, whose
prominent professors includeStephen Brooks, Richard Ned Lebow, and William Wohlforth, was
ranked the top solely undergraduate political science program in the world by researchers at
the London School of Economics in 2003.[42] The Economics Department, whose prominent
professors include David Blanchflower and Andrew Samwick, also holds the distinction as the topranked bachelor's-only economics program in the world. [43]
In order to graduate, a student must complete 35 total courses, eight to ten of which are typically
part of a chosen major program.[44] 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 and first-year seminar in writing.[44] Many departments offer honors
programs requiring students seeking that distinction to engage in "independent, sustained work,"
culminating in the production of athesis.[44] 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.[45][46]
Through the Graduate Studies program, Dartmouth grants doctorate and master's degrees in 19 Arts
& Sciences graduate programs. Although the first graduate degree, a PhD in classics, was awarded
in 1885, many of the current PhD programs have only existed since the 1960s. [8] Furthermore,
Dartmouth is home to three professional schools: the Geisel School of Medicine (established
1797), Thayer School of Engineering (1867) which also serves as the undergraduate department
of engineering sciences and Tuck School of Business (1900). With these professional schools
and graduate programs, conventional American usage would accord Dartmouth the label of
"Dartmouth University";[8] however, because of historical and nostalgic reasons (such as Dartmouth
College v. Woodward), the school uses the name "Dartmouth College" to refer to the entire
institution.[16]
Dartmouth employs a total of 607 tenured or tenure-track faculty members, including the highest
proportion of female tenured professors among the Ivy League universities. [8] Faculty members have
been at the forefront of such major academic developments as theDartmouth Conferences,
the Dartmouth Time Sharing System, Dartmouth BASIC, and Dartmouth ALGOL 30. In 2005,
sponsored project awards to Dartmouth faculty research amounted to $169 million. [47]
Dartmouth serves as the host institution of the University Press of New England, a university
press founded in 1970 that is supported by a consortium of schools that also includes Brandeis
University, the University of New Hampshire, Northeastern University, Tufts University and
the University of Vermont.[48]

Dartmouth was ranked 11th among undergraduate programs at national universities by U.S. News &
World Report in its 2015 rankings.[57] Dartmouth's strength in undergraduate education is highlighted
by U.S. Newswhen in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 it ranked Dartmouth first in undergraduate
teaching at national universities. It has since been ranked 4th in this area in the 2015 rankings [57] and
second in the 2016 rankings.[57]The institution also ranked first in High School Counselor Rankings in
2012.[57] The college ranks 7th in The Wall Street Journal's ranking of top feeder schools.[58]
In Forbes' alternative rankings of colleges, the ranking considers Dartmouth a liberal arts college, for
which it ranks 8th, and 18th overall in its combined liberal arts college and national universities
ranking.[59] It ranks #2 in grateful graduates and received a financial aid grade of A+.
The 2006 Carnegie Foundation classification listed Dartmouth as the only "majority-undergraduate",
"arts-and-sciences focus[ed]", "research university" in the country that also had "some graduate
coexistence" and "very high research activity."[60][61][62] Internationally, Dartmouth College was ranked
113th in the world in the 2012 QS World University Rankings.[63]
For its graduate programs, U.S. News ranks Dartmouth's MBA program 9th overall and 6th for
management. Among its other highly ranked graduate offerings, the school is ranked 40th in
computer science, 29th in medicine for primary care, and 37th in medicine for research. Its global
ranking places is at 242nd.[64]
In terms of graduate success, the school is ranked 47th overall and 7th among Ivy League schools
in return on investment by PayScale. With regards to mid-career salary, the school ranks 44th with
an average mid-career salary of $104,700, a starting salary of $55,500, and a 47% job satisfaction
rating.[65]

In the 2014-2015 admissions cycle, 20,504 applied and 2,120 were accepted for a 10.3% admit rate.
Those who reported class rank were 38.4% valedictorians and 10.1% salutatorians, with 94.9%
ranking in the top decile of their class. 49.8% identified as being students of color, and 14.9% are the
first in their families to matriculate to college.[70]
Dartmouth meets 100% of students' demonstrated financial need in order to attend the College, and
currently admits all students, other than international students, on a need-blind basis.[71]
Financial aid[edit]
Dartmouth guarantees to meet 100% of the demonstrated need of every admitted student who
applies for financial aid at the time of admission. Dartmouth practices need-blind admissions for all
applicants who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and undocumented students in the U.S.
These applicants are admitted to the college without regard to their financial circumstances. For
international students, financial need is taken into consideration as one of many factors at the time of
admission. At Dartmouth, free tuition is provided for students from families with total incomes of
$100,000 or less and possessing typical assets. In 2015, $88.8 million in need-based scholarships
were awarded to Dartmouth students.
Dartmouth functions on a quarter system, operating year-round on four ten-week academic terms.
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.[72] However, students may petition to alter this plan so that they may be off
during their freshman, senior, or sophomore summer terms. [73] During all 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.[72] The typical course load is three
classes per term, and students will generally enroll in classes for 12 total terms over the course of
their academic career.[74]
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 as "a way to put 4,000 students into 3,000
beds."[10] Although new dormitories have been built since, the number of students has also increased
and the D-Plan remains in effect. It was modified in the 1980s in an attempt to reduce the problems
of lack of social and academic continuity.
Board of Trustees[edit]
Main article: Board of Trustees of Dartmouth College
Dartmouth is governed by a Board of Trustees comprising the college president (ex officio), the state
governor (ex officio), 13 trustees nominated and elected by the board (called "charter trustees"), and
eight trustees nominated by alumni and elected by the board ("alumni trustees"). [75] The nominees for
alumni trustee are determined by a poll of the members of the Association of Alumni of Dartmouth
College, selecting from among names put forward by the Alumni Council or by alumni petition.
Although the board elected its members from the two sources of nominees in equal proportions
between 1891 and 2007,[76] the board decided in 2007 to add several new members, all charter
trustees.[77] In the controversy that followed the decision, the Association of Alumni filed a lawsuit,
although it later withdrew the action.[78][79] In 2008, the Board added five new charter trustees.[80]
Campus[edit]

Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953[81]
Dartmouth College is situated in the rural town of Hanover, New Hampshire, located in the Upper
Valley along the Connecticut River in New England. Its 269-acre (1.09 km2) campus is centered on a
5-acre (2 ha) "Green",[82] a former field of pine trees cleared in 1771.[83] Dartmouth is the largest
private landowner of the town of Hanover,[84] and its total landholdings and facilities are worth an
estimated $434 million.[85] In addition to its campus in Hanover, Dartmouth owns 4,500 acres (18 km2)
of Mount Moosilauke in the White Mountains[86] and a 27,000-acre (110 km2) tract of land in northern
New Hampshire known as the Second College Grant.[87]
American Elm on Dartmouth College campus, June 2011
Dartmouth's campus buildings vary in age from Wentworth and Thornton Halls of the 1820s (the
oldest surviving buildings constructed by the college) to new dormitories and mathematics facilities
completed in 2006.[88][89] Most of Dartmouth's buildings are designed in the GeorgianAmerican
colonial style,[90][91][92] a theme which has been preserved in recent architectural additions. [93] The
College has actively sought to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage on campus, earning it the
grade of A- from the Sustainable Endowments Institute on its College Sustainability Report Card
2008.[94][95]
Academic facilities[edit]
The college's creative and performing arts facility is the Hopkins Center for the Arts ("the Hop").
Opened in 1962, the Hop houses the College's drama, music, film, and studio arts departments, as
well as a woodshop, pottery studio, and jewelry studio which are open for use by students and
faculty.[96] The building was designed by the famed architect Wallace Harrison, who would later
design the similar-looking faade of Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.[97] Its
facilities include two theaters and one 900-seat auditorium. [96] The Hop is also the location of all
student mailboxes ("Hinman boxes")[98] and the Courtyard Caf dining facility.[99] The Hop is connected
to the Hood Museum of Art, arguably North America's oldest museum in continuous operation,[100] and
the Loew Auditorium, where films are screened.[101]

Library
In addition to its 19 graduate programs in the arts and sciences, Dartmouth is home to three
separate graduate schools. The Geisel School of Medicine is located in a complex on the north side
of campus[102] and includes laboratories, classrooms, offices, and a biomedical library.
[103]
The DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center, located several miles to the south inLebanon, New
Hampshire, contains a 396-bed teaching hospital for the Medical School.[104] The Thayer School of
Engineering and the Tuck School of Business are both located at the end of Tuck Mall, west of the
center of campus and near the Connecticut River.[103] The Thayer School presently comprises two
buildings;[103] Tuck has seven academic and administrative buildings, as well as several common
areas.[105] The two graduate schools share a library, the Feldberg Business & Engineering Library.[105]
Dartmouth's nine libraries are all part of the collective Dartmouth College Library, which comprises
2.48 million volumes and 6 million total resources, including videos, maps, sound recordings, and
photographs.[8][106] Its specialized libraries include the Biomedical Libraries, Evans Map Room,
Feldberg Business & Engineering Library, Jones Media Center, Kresge Physical Sciences Library,
Paddock Music Library, Rauner Special Collections Library, and Sherman Art Library. Baker-Berry
Library is the main library at Dartmouth, comprising a merger of the Baker Memorial Library (opened
1928) and the Berry Library (completed 2002).[107] Located on the northern side of the Green, Baker's
200-foot (61 m) tower is an iconic symbol of the College.[108][109][110]
Athletic facilities[edit]
Memorial Field
Dartmouth's original sports field was the Green, where students played cricket and old division
football during the 19th century.[83] Today, two of Dartmouth's athletic facilities are located in the
southeast corner of campus.[111] The center of athletic life is the Alumni Gymnasium, which includes
the Karl Michael Competition Pool and the Spaulding Pool, a state of the art fitness center, a weight
room, and a 1/13th-mile (123 m) indoor track.[112] Attached to Alumni Gymnasium is the Berry Sports
Center, which contains basketball and volleyball courts (Leede Arena), as well as the Kresge Fitness
Center.[113] Behind the Alumni Gymnasium is Memorial Field, a 15,600-seat stadium overlooking
Dartmouth's football field and track.[114]The nearby Thompson Arena, designed by Italian
engineer Pier Luigi Nervi and constructed in 1975, houses Dartmouth's ice rink. [115] Also visible from
Memorial Field is the 91,800-square-foot (8,530 m2) Nathaniel Leverone Fieldhouse, home to the
indoor track. The new softball field, Dartmouth Softball Park, was constructed in 2012, sharing
parking facilities with Thompson arena and replacing Sachem Field, located over a mile from
campus, as the primary softball facility.
Dartmouth's other athletic facilities in Hanover include the Friends of Dartmouth Rowing Boathouse
and the old rowing house storage facility (both located along the Connecticut River), the Hanover
Country Club, Dartmouth's oldest remaining athletic facility (established in 1899), [116] and the Corey
Ford Rugby Clubhouse.[117] The college also maintains the Dartmouth Skiway, a 100-acre (0.40 km2)
skiing facility located over two mountains near the Hanover campus in Lyme Center, New
Hampshire,[118] that serves as the winter practice grounds for the Dartmouth ski team, which is a
perennial contender for the NCAA Division I championship.

Student life[edit]
In 2006, The Princeton Review ranked Dartmouth third in its "Quality of Life" category, and sixth for
having the "Happiest Students."[131] Athletics and participation in the Greek system are the most
popular campus activities.[11] In all, Dartmouth offers more than 350 organizations, teams, and sports.
[132]
The school is also home to a variety of longstanding traditions and celebrations and has a loyal
alumni network; Dartmouth ranked #2 in "The Princeton Review" in 2006 for Best Alumni Network.[133]
Student groups[edit]
Main articles: Dartmouth College student groups, Dartmouth College publications and Dartmouth
College Greek organizations
Robinson Hall houses many of the College's student-run organizations, including the Dartmouth Outing Club.
The building is a designated stop along the Appalachian Trail.
Dartmouth's more than 200 student organizations and clubs cover a wide range of interests. [134] In
2007, the college hosted eight academic groups, 17 cultural groups, two honor societies, 30 "issueoriented" groups, 25 performing groups, 12 pre-professional groups, 20 publications, and 11
recreational groups.[135] Notable student groups include the nation's largest and oldest collegiate
outdoors club, the Dartmouth Outing Club,[136] which includes the nationally recognized[137] Big Green
Bus; the campus's oldest and most prestigious a cappella group, The Dartmouth Aires; the
controversial conservative newspaper The Dartmouth Review;[138] and The Dartmouth, arguably the
nation's oldest university newspaper.[139] The Dartmouth describes itself as "America's Oldest College
Newspaper, Founded 1799."[139]
Partially because of Dartmouth's rural, isolated location, the Greek system dating from the 1840s is
one of the most popular social outlets for students.[11][140] Dartmouth is home to 32 recognized Greek
houses: 17 fraternities, 12 sororities, and three coeducational organizations. [141] In 2007, roughly 70%
of eligible students belonged to a Greek organization; [142] since 1987, students have not been
permitted to join Greek organizations until their sophomore year.[143] 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.[144] In the early first
decade of the 21st century, campus-wide debate focused on a Board of Trustees recommendation
that Greek organizations become "substantially coeducational"; [145] this attempt to change the Greek
system eventually failed.[146] The fraternities have an extensive history of hazing and alcohol abuse,
leading to police raids and accusations of sexual harassment.[147][148]
Dartmouth also has a number of secret societies, which are student- and alumni-led organizations
often focused on preserving the history of the college and initiating service projects. Most prominent
among them is the Sphinx society, housed in a prominent Egyptian tomb-like building near the
center of campus. The Sphinx has been the subject of numerous rumors as to its facilities, practices,
and membership.[149]
The college has an additional classification of social/residential organizations known
as undergraduate societies.[150]
Athletics[edit]
Main article: Dartmouth Big Green
Approximately 20% of students participate in a varsity sport, and nearly 80% participate in some
form of club, varsity, intramural, or other athletics.[151] In 2007, Dartmouth College fielded 34
intercollegiate varsity teams: 16 for men, 16 for women, and coeducational sailing and equestrian
programs. Dartmouth's athletic teams compete in the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division I eight-member Ivy League conference; some teams also participate in
the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).[152] As is mandatory for the members of the Ivy
League, Dartmouth College does not offer athletic scholarships.[152][153] In addition to the traditional
American team sports (football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey), Dartmouth competes at the
varsity level in many other sports including track and field, softball, squash, sailing, tennis, rowing,
soccer, skiing, and lacrosse.[8]
The college also offers 26 club and intramural sports such as fencing, rugby, water polo, figure
skating, boxing, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and cricket, leading to a 75% participation rate in
athletics among the undergraduate student body.[8][154] The Dartmouth Fencing Team, despite being
entirely self-coached, won the USACFC club national championship in 2014.[155] The Dartmouth
Men's Rugby Team, founded in 1951, has been ranked among the best collegiate teams in that
sport, winning for example the Ivy Rugby Conference every year between 2008 and 2015.[156] The
figure skating team won the national championship five straight times from 2004 through 2008. [157] In
addition to the academic requirements for graduation, Dartmouth requires every undergraduate to

Traditions[edit]
Main article: Dartmouth College traditions
Dartmouth is well known for its fierce school spirit and many traditions.[160] 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"[161][162] or "party weekends".[163] In the fall term, Homecoming (officially
called Dartmouth Night) is marked by a bonfire on the Green constructed by the freshman class.
[164]
Winter term is celebrated by Winter Carnival, a tradition started in 1911 by the Dartmouth Outing
Club to promote winter sports.[165] In the spring, Green Key is a weekend mostly devoted to campus
parties and celebration.[166]
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. 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.[167] 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. [168]
Another longstanding tradition is four-day, student-run Dartmouth Outing Club trips for incoming
freshmen, begun in 1935. Each trip concludes at the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge.[169] In 2011, over 96%
of freshmen elected to participate.
Seal[edit]
Main article: Seal of Dartmouth College
Dartmouth's 1769 royal charter required the creation of a seal for use on official documents and
diplomas.[7] The college's founder Eleazar Wheelock designed a seal for his college bearing a
striking resemblance to the seal of theSociety 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.[171] 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:
An Oval, circumscribed by a Line containing SIGILL: COL: DARTMUTH: NOV: HANT: IN AMERICA
1770. within projecting a Pine Grove on the Right, whence proceed Natives towards an Edifice two
Storey on the left; which bears in a Label over the Grove these Words "vox clamantis in deserto" the
whole supported by Religion on the Right and Justice on the Left, and bearing in a Triangle irradiate,
with the Hebrew Words [El Shaddai], agreeable to the above Impression, be the common Seal under
which to pass all Diplomas or Certificates of Degrees, and all other Affairs of Business of and
concerning Dartmouth College.[175]
On October 28, 1926, the trustees affirmed the charter's reservation of the seal for official corporate
documents alone.[171] The College Publications Committee commissioned noted 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.[171] The 1957 design continues to
be used under trademark number 2305032.[176]
Shield[edit]
On October 28, 1926, the trustees approved a "Dartmouth College Shield" for general use. 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. That design was used widely and, like Dwiggins' seal, had its date
changed from "1770" to "1769" around 1958.[171] That version continues to be used under trademark
registration number 3112676 and others.[176]
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.[177] 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 20 micrometers
across.[178] The design has appeared on Rudolph Ruzicka's Bicentennial Medal (Philadelphia Mint,
1969) and elsewhere.
