DARTMOUTH COLLEGE.
Dartmouth College, which Is located
here, Is such q proverb for learning In Tho
land that you will appreciate, doubtless, {
running sketch Of Il with a promise thai
at some future time, perhaps after com
mencement, We will give you more ex

Dartmouth College Is over a century old
and was named forthe Earl Of Dartmouth,
who, with his family, gave quite liberal
