In September, 1768, Messrs. Williams, Woodbridge, Sergeant, Willard,

Stoddard, Bouton, Dean, Fuller, and others, proposed to give various
sums, ranging from $5 to L150, provided the College, should be

same year, Zephaniah Batcheller writes from Albany, stating that
Captain Abraham J. Lansing will give, in all, more than two hundred
acres of land, suitably located for buildings and other uses, and
worth L2,500, provided the College is located at Lansingburg, N. Y.

"January 22, 1770. Proprietors' meeting at Hampton.
"Whereas a charter for a College to be erected in the western part of
this province, by the name of Dartmouth College, has been granted
under the great seal of said province, with a special view of
Christianizing the several Indian tribes in America, therefore in
consideration of the many advantages that would accrue to the
proprietors of Orford if said College could be settled in said town,
and that the same pious design might be carried into immediate
execution,
"Voted, in case said College should be settled in said township, to
give and grant for the Use and Benefit of said College, for ever, one
thousand acres of land in said town. Also, whereas the Rev. Eleazar
Wheelock is appointed president of said College, and doubtless will
settle himself and family in the town where the College shall be,
where it will be very necessary he should have some land to settle
upon, therefore, for encouraging and promoting the same,
"Voted to give and grant unto the said Eleazar Wheelock, his heirs and
assigns for ever, one thousand acres of land in said town. They also
"Voted (conditionally) to give to the said Eleazar Wheelock the sum of
one hundred pounds lawful money."

Piermont offered one thousand acres of land to secure the College.

"Honorable and Reverend: In the capacity of agent for the towns of
Newbury and Haverhill, I promise and engage (if Dartmouth College is
placed in said Haverhill in New Hampshire) that out of the
subscriptions of said Haverhill and Newbury and the town of Bath, that
three thousand acres of land shall be laid out in a convenient form at
the corner of Haverhill, adjoining the southwest corner of said town
of Landaff, and one thousand acres more, laid out in a gore, in Bath
adjoining said town of Landaff, and the three thousand acres in
Haverhill as above; and also I engage to give five hundred acres more
to the Honorable and Reverend Trust of said College, for the use of
said College, in a handsome form, round said College, if set in said
Haverhill; provided it is not set on lands already laid out, which if
it is to lay out said five hundred next adjoining, in a convenient
form, as also to make and raise a frame for a building two hundred
feet long and eighteen feet broad, one story high, or a frame or labor
to that value. The above I promise to perform at or before the first
day of November next. The frame I promise to set up on demand. Witness
my hand,
Jacob Bayley.
"Portsmouth, June 29, 1770.
"To the Honorable and Reverend Trust of Dartmouth College."
Newburyport, March 6, 1770.
Reverend Sir: I have lately received an account from Plymouth of a
subscription being opened and there is already three thousand dollars
in labor, provisions, etc., subscribed; also another here worth one
thousand dollars, provided the College is fixed in Campton, Rumney, or
Plymouth; also being sensible that you will be at great expense to
move into a new country, have opened another subscription for Rev. Dr.
Wheelock, which will be generous; I have lately heard that the College
is to be fixed before the meeting of the trustees, which is the reason
of Mr. Call's journey, the bearer of this, who is a friend to the
Indian cause, and in time past has been a means of collecting a
considerable for them. I should be much obliged if you would inform me
the time the College will be fixed, and I will bring or send the
subscriptions, which I make no doubt will be generous when completed.
If it should not be agreeable to the trustees to fix the College in
any of the above mentioned towns, these subscriptions will not do any
hurt to the College nor Dr. Wheelock, but spur on others to outdo. I
think, where it is fixed, they ought to do generously, as it must help
them much. I conclude with our family's and my duty to you and Madam
Wheelock, and regards to all the family, and remain your most obedient
servant,
Moses Little.
"P. S. We hear that the most generous subscription is to carry the
College, provided the place is suitable; hope what we offer Dr.
Wheelock will not be any damage, for it is not done as a private
thing, but are willing the trustees and everybody else should know.
"M. L. has subscribed:
20 thousand boards.
20 tons hay, three years, is 60 tons.
10 bushels wheat, three years, is 30 bushels.
10 bushels rye, three years, is 30 bushels.
10 bushels Indian, three years, is 30 bushels.
10 days labor, three years, is 30 days.
"Also use of house and barn and land pasturing round it, twenty acres
cleared; also Esq. Brainerd, one right of land, etc., in Rumney; also
sent a man with a subscription, to be followed, we hope, in proportion
and more than proportion to the above. Expect some hundred bushels
grain yearly for three years, also land and labor; and if the above is
not enough subscribed by Moses Little, Dr. Wheelock shall have liberty
to improve as much of his land as he pleases."

"Albany, May 9, 1767.
"Reverend Sir: I have had the pleasure to see your letter, directed to
the mayor of this city and others. The subject of it was a very
agreeable one. To encourage literature indicates a great mind; to
civilize savages, with a view to their eternal happiness, evinces a
goodness of heart and a charitable disposition truly commendable;
whoever attempts it has a right to claim the assistance of every
worthy member of society. I shall be happy if I can be any ways
instrumental in promoting the success of your humane plan; I am
informed that Mr. Mayor and the other gentlemen of the corporation
have expressed an equal desire, and I make no doubt but their offers
will be such as a corporation ought to make who are impressed with a
sense of its general utility. I could say much of the advantages that
would accrue from fixing the School near this city, but as you have
doubtless considered this affair with attention, you will have
anticipated all I could say on the subject. I shall only remark that I
have observed with much satisfaction that the morals of my
fellow-citizens are much less vitiated than those of other cities that
have an immediate foreign trade, and consequently import the vices of
other climes; to this, give me leave to add, that a becoming economy
is what characterizes our people, and may, by way of example, have a
very good effect on the Indian children, and such others as might be
allowed to take their education in the proposed seminary.
"Should you, however, reverend sir, after receiving the proposals of
the corporation, think them inadequate to the advantages the city
would receive, or should you, for reasons that do not occur to me,
think a more remote situation more eligible (which I wish may not be),
I then, sir, will make an offer, to forward the charity. But though I
have already fixed on the proposals I intend to make, I must yet
declare that those that I am told the city intends to offer appear to
me to have the advantage in point of fulfilling the intentions of the
gentlemen at home, but perhaps it may be thought otherwise, and I be
mistaken.
"Whenever, sir, this or your other affairs may call you into this
county, I shall be extremely glad to show you any civilities in my
power, and beg you will make my house your home, where I try to keep
up to the good old adage, 'to welcome the coming and to speed the
going guest.'
"I am, with much respect, reverend sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
"To the Rev. Mr. Wheelock. Ph. Schuyler."

"Reverend Sir: As I understand that Colonel Alexander Phelps, Esquire,
has been on business of importance relative to your College, to wit,
the consulting the honorable trustees, at Portsmouth, concerning the
place where it will be best to set the said College, and as there is
great engagedness and large subscriptions making by the Proprietors
and others of the towns of Plainfield, Hartford, Harford, Lebanon,
Norwich, Hanover, and some other back towns, for the said School, if
said School should be set in Hanover, in the Province of New
Hampshire, now, sir, I suppose that Colonel Phelps never heard of this
subscription, and I apprehend he has not laid this donation, with the
circumstances of the place, before the Board at Portsmouth.
"Trusting in your wisdom and willingness to hear everything of
consequence to said School, I would therefore pray that the place for
the said College may not be fixed on till the donations may be
gathered and the circumstances of the place be properly laid before
their Honors.
"P. S. I suppose there can be as much or more said in favor of its
going to the said town of Hanover than any town on the river, which
will be laid before their Honors in writing, if desired.
"From their humble servant and well-wisher to said School,
James Murch."
In a later letter he says:
"Now, sir, we all hope you will view the place yourself, and the
people well all be satisfied that the College will be set in the best
place for its benefit; or, if a disinterested man should come and view
the places, and make a representation, it is generally thought it
would come to Hanover or Lebanon. Now, sir, I shall endeavor to set
before you some of the benefits of this place for the College. First,
here is a large tract of land of near three thousand acres or more,
all lying together, and the greater part some of the best of land. I
shall only add that there may be a good road to Portsmouth; and it is
in a line to Crown Point from Portsmouth; and a very narrow place in
the great river, for a brig; and it is by a long pair of falls; and
where salt and other articles, brought up the river, will be cheaper
than they will be further up.
"Having given some short hints of what is commonly talked of where I
have been, I hope you will condescend to forgive what is amiss in this
broken letter.
"So I remain, yours to serve, James Murch.
"Hanover, New Hampshire, March 13, 1770.

"Dartmouth College, June 3, 1777, at break of day.
"My dear Sir: I trust you have received my two late letters, by my son
and Sir Trimble, with orders, if you can to good advantage, to make
sale of my tenement at the Crank, and pay my debts to Mr. Dean, Mr.
Watson, and yourself. If you have successfully attempted the affair,
or shall soon so do, I should be glad to see you, and if it may be
with the remainder of the money as soon as may be; or if you could,
before you come, visit Dr. Mead, who was principal of, and agent for,
the first grantees of the town of Landaff, the settlement of which is
now retarded and discouraged by the influence of Mr. Joseph Davenport,
who has inspired an apprehension in the minds of the populace that
they shall be exposed to a quarrel, if they should settle there, etc.
I wish I could send you a copy of the College Charter, and enable you
to discourse understandingly with Dr. Mead, and let him see how amply
this incorporation is endowed, and how independent it is made of this
government or any other incorporation; that the first object of the
royal grant of said township was the dispersed Indian natives, and to
this corporation only in trust for that purpose; that such a matter of
controversy can be decided by no judicatory but supreme, or one equal
to that which incorporated it, that is the Continental Congress; that
unless they can prove that the fee of those lands was not in reality
in the king when the charter thereof was given to the College and the
grant made to the grantees (however irregular and unkind the steps
taken may have been), they will find it difficult, if not
impracticable, to recover it. However, to prevent any expense in that
matter, quiet the minds of people and facilitate the settlement, as
well as exercise proper regard to those who have looked upon
themselves injured thereby, I would propose some conditions of
agreement with those first grantees, whereby I might obtain their
quitclaims to the premises; that is, either a sum of money, or some
other way. What if you should see Dr. Mead and discourse with him
before you come hither? But the bearer is waiting. Accept love to you
and yours, etc., from your affectionate,
"Mr. Jabez Bingham, Jun."

MISCELLANEOUS MATTER.
"Since there is great misrepresentations by some concerning my life
and education, I take this opportunity to give the world, in few
words, the true account of my education. I was born a heathen in
Mmoyanheeunnuck, alias Mohegan, in New London, North America. My
parents were altogether heathens, and I was educated by them in their
heathenish notions, though there was a sermon preached to our Mohegan
tribe sometimes, but our Indians regarded not the Christian religion.
They would persist in their heathenish ways, and my parents in
particular were very strong in the customs of their forefathers, and
they led a wandering life up and down in the wilderness, for my father
was a great hunter. Thus I lived with them till I was sixteen years
old, and then there was a great stir of religion in these parts of the
world both amongst the Indians as well as the English, and about this
time I began to think about the Christian religion, and was under
great trouble of mind for some time. I thought the religion which I
heard at this time was a new thing among mankind, such as they never
heard the like before, so ignorant was I, and when I was seventeen
years of age I received a hope, and as I begun to think about
religion, so I began to learn to read, though I went to no school till
I was in my nineteenth year, and then I went to the Rev. Mr.
Wheelock's to learning, and spent four years there, and was very
weakly most of the time; this is the true account of my education.

In the "History of the Five Indian Nations," by Cadwallader Colden, we
find the following paragraph:
"The French priests had (from time to time) persuaded several of the
Five Nations to leave their own country and to settle near Montreal,
where the French are very industrious in encouraging them. Their
numbers have been likewise increased by the prisoners the French have
taken in war, and by others who have run from their own country
because of some mischief that they had done, or debts which they owed
to the Christians. These Indians all profess Christianity, and
therefore are commonly called the Praying Indians by their countrymen,
and they are called _Cahnuagas_ (Caghnawagas) by the people of
Albany."

"An agreement between the Reverend Doctor Eleazar Wheelock, president
of Dartmouth College, and Mr. John Smith, late tutor of the same, with
respect to said Mr. Smith's settlement and salary in capacity of
professor of the languages in Dartmouth College.
"Mr. Smith agrees to settle as Professor of English, Latin, Greek,
Hebrew, Chaldee, etc., in Dartmouth College, to teach which, and as
many of these and other such languages as he shall understand, as the
Trustees shall judge necessary and practicable for one man, and also
to read lectures on them, as often as the president, tutors, etc.,
with himself shall judge profitable for the Seminary. He also agrees,
while he can do it consistently with his office as professor, annually
to serve as tutor to a class of students in the College. In
consideration of which, Dr. Wheelock agrees to give him (the said Mr.
Smith) one hundred pounds L. My. annually as a salary to be paid one
half in money and the other half in money or in such necessary
articles for a family as wheat, Indian corn, rye, beef, pork, mutton,
butter, cheese, hay, pasturing, etc., as long as he shall continue
professor as aforesaid, and that he shall have these articles
delivered to him at the same price for which they were usually sold
before the commencement of the present war in America, viz.: that he
shall have wheat at 5s. per bushel, rye at 3s., Indian corn at 2s.
6d., fresh beef at 3d. per lb., salt beef at 4-1/2d., fresh pork at
4-1/2d., salt do. at 7d., fresh beef at 18s. per ct., do. pork at
25s., mutton at 3d. per lb., butter at 3d., cheese at 3d., bread at
2d., hay at 30s. per ton, pasturing per season for horse 30s., for cow
20s., and also to give him one acre of land near the College for a
building spot, a deed of which he promises to give him whenever he
shall request the same. Doctor Wheelock also agrees that Mr. Smith's
salary, viz.: one hundred pounds annually, shall not be diminished
when his business as professor shall be so great that it will render
it impracticable for him to serve as a tutor to a class in College;
and that Mr. Smith shall not be removed from his professorship except
the Trustees of Dartmouth College shall judge him incapacitated
therefor, and also that Mr. Smith's salary shall begin with the date
hereof. Doctor Wheelock also promises to lay this agreement before the
Trustees of Dartmouth College to be confirmed by them at their next
meeting. Mr. Smith also promises that whenever he shall have a
sufficient support from any fund established for the maintenance of a
professor of languages, he will give up the salary to which the
agreement entitles him.

In 1862 an inventory of the Philosophical Apparatus belonging to the
college was taken, and the transfer was made to the Appleton Fund; the
amount of this inventory was $2,352.75. While Rev. H. Fairbanks
occupied the chair of Natural Philosophy about $800 was paid out.
Prof. C. A. Young expended over $5,000 for apparatus while he had
charge of the department. Most of the apparatus is in good condition,
and its value is not far from $10,000.
For the Astronomical Department Prof. C. A. Young raised among the
Alumni and friends of the college, mostly in New England, over $5,000,
to put the Observatory in good condition.
Recent liberal donations to the College from the State, and from Hon.
E. W. Stoughton, of New York, have enabled the Faculty to put the
Medical Building in complete repair throughout. A suitable room for a
Pathological Museum has been finished, which is frequently receiving
specimens of diseased structure. The supply of plates, models, etc.,
is very ample, and is freely used in illustration of the lectures.

CHARTER OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE.
GEORGE THE THIRD BY THE GRACE OF GOD, OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND
IRELAND, KING, DEFENDER OF THE FAITH, ETC.
_To all to whom these presents shall come_, Greeting:
Whereas it hath been represented to our trusty and well-beloved John
Wentworth, Esq., Governor and Commander-in-Chief, in and over our
province of New Hampshire, in New England in America, that the Rev.
Eleazar Wheelock of Lebanon, in the colony of Connecticut, in New
England aforesaid, now Doctor in Divinity, did, on or about the year
of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and fifty-four, at his own
expense, on his own estate and plantation, set on foot an _Indian
Charity School_, and for several years, through the assistance of well
disposed persons in America, cloathed, maintained and educated a
number of the children of the _Indian natives_, with a view to their
carrying the gospel in their own language, and spreading the knowledge
of the great Redeemer among their savage tribes, and hath actually
employed a number of them as Missionaries and School Masters in the
wilderness for that purpose, and by the blessing of God upon the
endeavors of said Wheelock, the design became reputable among the
Indians, insomuch that a larger number desired the education of their
children in said School, and were also disposed to receive
missionaries and school masters in the wilderness, more than could be
supported by the charitable contributions in these American colonies.
Whereupon the said Eleazar Wheelock thought it expedient that
endeavors should be used to raise contributions from well disposed
persons in England, for the carrying on and extending said
undertaking, and for that purpose said Eleazar Wheelock requested the
Rev. Nathaniel Whitaker, now Doctor in Divinity, to go over to England
for that purpose, and sent over with him the Rev. Sampson Occom, an
Indian minister, who had been educated by the said Wheelock. And to
enable the said Whitaker, to the more successful performance of said
work on which he was sent, said Wheelock gave him a full power of
attorney, by which said Whitaker solicited those worthy and generous
contributors to the charity, viz. the Right Hon. William Earl of
Dartmouth, the Hon. Sir Sidney Stafford Smythe, Knight, one of the
Barons of his Majesty's Court of Exchequer, John Thornton, of Clapham,
in the county of Surrey, Esq., Samuel Roffey, of Lincoln's Innfields,
in the county of Middlesex, Esq., Charles Hardey, of the parish of St.
Mary-le-bonne, in said county, Esq., Daniel West, of Christ's Church,
Spitalfields, in the county aforesaid, Esq., Samuel Savage, of the
same place, gentleman; Josiah Robarts, of the parish of St. Edmund the
King, Lombard Street, London, gentleman, and Robert Keen, of the
parish of St. Botolph, Aldgate, London, gentleman; to receive the
several sums of money which should be contributed, and to be trustees
to the contributors to such charity: which they cheerfully agreed to.
Whereupon, the said Whitaker did, by virtue of said power of attorney,
constitute and appoint the said Earl of Dartmouth, Sir Sidney Stafford
Smythe, John Thornton, Samuel Roffey, Charles Hardey, and Daniel West,
Esquires, and Samuel Savage, Josiah Robarts, and Robert Keen,
gentlemen, to be trustees of the money which had then been
contributed, and which should by his means be contributed for said
purpose; which trust they have accepted, as by their engrossed
declaration of the same under their hands and seals, well executed
fully appears, and the same hath also been ratified by a deed of
trust, well executed by said Wheelock.
And the said Wheelock further represents, that he has, by a power of
attorney, for many weighty reasons, given full power to the said
trustees, to fix upon and determine the place for said school, most
subservient to the great end in view. And to enable them
understandingly to give the preference, the said Wheelock has laid
before the said trustees the several offers which have been generously
made in the several governments in America to encourage and invite the
settlement of said school among them for their own private emolument,
and for the increase of learning in their respective places, as well
as for the furtherance of the general design in view.
And whereas a large number of the proprietors of lands in the western
part of this our province of New Hampshire, animated and excited
thereto by the generous example of his Excellency their Governor, and
by the liberal contributions of many noblemen and gentlemen in
England, and especially by the consideration that such a situation
would be as convenient as any for carrying on the great design among
the Indians; and also considering that without the least impediment to
the said design, the same school may be enlarged and improved to
promote learning among the English, and be a means to supply a great
number of churches and congregations which are likely soon to be
formed in that new country, with a learned and orthodox ministry, they
the said proprietors have promised large tracts of land for the uses
aforesaid, provided the school shall be settled in the western part of
our said province.
And they the said Right Hon. Hon. and worthy trustees before
mentioned, having maturely considered the reasons and arguments in
favor of the several places proposed, have given the preference to the
western part of our said province, lying on Connecticut river, as a
situation most convenient for said school.
And the said Wheelock has further represented a necessity of a legal
incorporation, in order to the safety and well being of said seminary,
and its being capable of the tenure and disposal of lands and bequests
for the use of the same. And the said Wheelock has also represented,
that for many weighty reasons, it will be expedient, at least in the
infancy of said institution, or till it can be accommodated in that
new country, and he and his friends be able to remove and settle by
and round about it, that the gentlemen whom he has already nominated
in his last will (which he has transmitted to the aforesaid gentlemen
of the trust in England) to be trustees in America, should be of the
corporation now proposed. And also as there are already large
collections for said school in the hands of the aforesaid gentlemen of
the trust in England, and all reason to believe from their signal
wisdom, piety, and zeal, to promote the Redeemer's cause (which has
already procured for them the utmost confidence of the kingdom) we may
expect they will appoint successors in time to come, who will be men
of the same spirit, whereby great good may and will accrue many ways
to the institution, and much be done by their example and influence to
encourage and facilitate the whole design in view; for which reasons
said Wheelock desires that the trustees aforesaid, may be vested with
all that power therein which can consist with their distance from the
same.
Know ye therefore that We, considering the premises and being willing
to encourage the laudable design of spreading Christian knowledge
among the savages of our American wilderness. And also that the best
means of education be established in our province of New Hampshire,
for the benefit of said province, do, of our special grace, certain
knowledge and mere motion, by and with the advice of our council for
said province, by these presents will, ordain, grant and constitute
that there be a college erected in our said province of New Hampshire,
by the name of _Dartmouth College_, for the education and instruction
of youths of the Indian tribes in this land, in reading, writing, and
all parts of learning, which shall appear necessary and expedient, for
civilizing and christianizing the children of pagans, as well as in
all liberal arts and sciences, and also of English youths, and any
others. And the trustees of said college may, and shall be, one body
corporate and politic in deed, action and name, and shall be called,
named, and distinguished by the name of _The Trustees of Dartmouth
College_.
And further, We have willed, given, granted, constituted and ordained,
and by this our present charter, of our special grace, certain
knowledge and mere motion, with the advice aforesaid, do for us, our
heirs and successors forever, will, give, grant, constitute, and
ordain, that there shall from henceforth and forever, be in the said
Dartmouth College, a body politic, consisting of Trustees of Dartmouth
College. And for the more full and perfect erection of said
Corporation and body politic, consisting of Trustees of Dartmouth
College, We, of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere motion,
do, by these presents, for us, our heirs and successors, make, ordain,
constitute and appoint, our trusty and well beloved John Wentworth,
Esquire, Governor of our said province, and the governor of our said
province of New Hampshire, for the time being, and our trusty and well
beloved Theodore Atkinson, Esquire, now president of our council of
our said province, George Jaffrey and Daniel Pierce, Esqrs., both of
our said council, and Peter Gilman, Esq., now Speaker of our House of
Representatives in said province, and William Pitkin, Esq., one of the
Assistants of our colony of Connecticut, and our trusty and well
beloved Eleazar Wheelock, of Lebanon, Doctor in Divinity, Benjamin
Pomeroy, of Hebron, James Lockwood, of Weathersfield, Timothy Pitkin
and John Smalley, of Farmington, and William Patten of Hartford, all
of our said colony of Connecticut, ministers of the gospel (the whole
number of said trustees consisting, and hereafter forever to consist,
of twelve and no more) to be trustees of said Dartmouth College, in
this our province of New Hampshire.
And We do further, of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere
motion, for us, our heirs and successors, will, give, grant and
appoint that the said trustees and their successors shall, forever
hereafter, be in deed, act and name, a body corporate and politic, and
that they the said body corporate and politic, shall be known and
distinguished in all deeds, grants, bargains, sales, writings,
evidences or otherwise however, and in all courts forever hereafter
plead and be impleaded by the name of _The Trustees of Dartmouth
College_. And that the said corporation by the name aforesaid, shall
be able and in law capable for the use of said Dartmouth College, to
have, get, acquire, purchase, receive, hold, possess and enjoy,
tenements, hereditaments, jurisdictions and franchises for themselves
and their successors, in fee simple or otherwise however, and to
purchase, receive, or build any house or houses, or any other
buildings, as they shall think needful and convenient for the use of
said Dartmouth College, and in such town in the western part of our
said province of New Hampshire, as shall, by said trustees, or the
major part of them be agreed upon, their said agreement to be
evidenced by an instrument in writing under their hands ascertaining
the same. And also to receive and dispose of any lands, goods,
chattels and other things of what nature soever, for the use
aforesaid. And also to have, accept and receive any rents, profits,
annuities, gifts, legacies, donations or bequests of any kind
whatsoever for the use aforesaid: so nevertheless, that the yearly
value of the premises do not exceed the sum of six thousand pounds
sterling. And therewith or otherwise to support and pay, as the said
trustees, or the major part of such of them as are regularly convened
for that purpose, shall agree; the president, tutors, and other
officers and ministers of said Dartmouth College, and also to pay all
such missionaries and school masters as shall be authorized, appointed
and employed by them for civilizing, Christianizing, and instructing
the Indian natives of this land, their several allowances, and also
their respective annual salaries or allowances, and also such
necessary and contingent charges, as from time to time shall arise and
accrue, relating to said Dartmouth College. And also to bargain, sell,
let or assign lands, tenements, hereditaments, goods or chattels, and
all other things whatsoever, by the name aforesaid, in as full and
ample a manner, to all intents and purposes as a natural person or
other body corporate or politic, is able to do by the laws of our
realm of Great Britain, or of said province of New Hampshire.
And further, of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere motion,
to the intent that our said corporation and body politic may answer
the end of their erection and constitution, and may have perpetual
succession and continuance forever, We do for us, our heirs and
successors, will, give and grant unto the said trustees of Dartmouth
College, and to their successors forever, that there shall be once a
year, and every year, a meeting of said trustees, held at said
Dartmouth College, at such time as by said trustees, or the major part
of them, at any legal meeting of said trustees shall be agreed on. The
first meeting to be called by the said Eleazar Wheelock, as soon as
conveniently may be, within one year next after the enrolment of these
our letters patent, at such time and place as he shall judge proper.
And the said trustees, or the major part of any seven or more of them,
shall then determine on the time for holding the annual meeting,
aforesaid, which may be altered as they shall hereafter find most
convenient.
And We do further ordain and direct, that the said Eleazar Wheelock
shall notify the time for holding the first meeting to be called as
aforesaid, by sending a letter to each of said trustees, and causing
an advertisement thereof to be printed in the "New Hampshire Gazette,"
and in some public newspaper printed in the colony of Connecticut. But
in case of the death or incapacity of said Wheelock, then such meeting
to be notified in manner as aforesaid, by the Governor or Commander in
Chief of our said province for the time being.
And We also, for us, our heirs and successors, hereby will, give and
grant unto the said trustees of Dartmouth College aforesaid, and to
their successors forever, that when any seven or more of the said
trustees or their successors are convened and met together for the
service of said Dartmouth College, at any time or times, such seven or
more shall be capable to act as fully and amply to all intents and
purposes, as if all the trustees of said College were personally
present; and all affairs and actions whatsoever, under the care of
said trustees, shall be determined by the majority or greater number
of those seven or more trustees, so convened and met together.
And we do further will, ordain and direct, that the president,
trustees, professors, and tutors, and all such officers as shall be
appointed for the public instruction and government of said College,
shall, before they undertake the execution of their respective offices
or trusts, or within one year after, take the oaths and subscribe the
declaration, provided by an act of Parliament, made in the first year
of King George the First, entitled, "An Act for the further security
of his Majesty's person and government, and the succession of the
Crown in the heirs of the late Princess Sophia being Protestants, and
for the extinguishing the hopes of the pretended Prince of Wales, and
his open and secret abettors," that is to say, the president before
the governor of our said province for the time being, or by one
empowered by him to that service, or by the president of our council,
and the trustees, professors, tutors and other officers before the
president of said college, for the time being, who is hereby empowered
to administer the same: an entry of all which shall be made in the
records of the said college.
And we do for us, our heirs and successors, hereby will, give and
grant full power and authority to the president, hereafter by us
named, and to his successors, or in case of his failure, to any three
or more of said trustees, to appoint other occasional meetings, from
time to time, of the said seven trustees, or any greater number of
them, to transact any matter or thing necessary to be done, before the
next annual meeting, and to order notice to the said seven or any
greater number of them, of the times and places of meetings for the
services aforesaid, by a letter under his or their hands of the same,
one month before said meeting. Provided always, that no standing rule
or order be made or altered, for the regulation of said college, or
any president or professor be chosen or displaced, or any other matter
or thing transacted or done, which shall continue in force after the
then next annual meeting of said trustees as aforesaid.
And further, We do by these presents, for us, our heirs and
successors, create, make, constitute, nominate and appoint our trusty
and well beloved Eleazar Wheelock, Doctor in Divinity, the founder of
said college, to be president of said Dartmouth College, and to have
the immediate care of the education and government of such students,
as shall be admitted into said Dartmouth College, for instruction and
education; and do will, give and grant to him in said office, full
power, authority and right to nominate, appoint, constitute and ordain
by his last will, such suitable and meet person or persons as he shall
choose, to succeed him in the presidency of said Dartmouth College;
and the person so appointed by his last will, to continue in office,
vested with all the powers, privileges, jurisdiction and authority of
a president of said Dartmouth College, that is to say, so long as
until such appointment, by said last will, shall be disapproved by the
trustees of said Dartmouth College.
And We do also for us, our heirs and successors, will, give and grant
to the said trustees of Dartmouth College, and to their successors
forever, or any seven or more of them, convened as aforesaid, that in
case of the ceasing or failure of a president, by any means
whatsoever, that the said trustees do elect, nominate and appoint such
qualified person, as they, or the major part of any seven or more of
them, convened for that purpose, as above directed, shall think fit,
to be president of said Dartmouth College, and to have the care of the
education and government of the students as aforesaid. And in case of
the ceasing of a president as aforesaid, the senior professor or
tutor, being one of the trustees, shall exercise the office of a
president, until the trustees shall make choice of, and appoint a
president as aforesaid; and such professor or tutor, or any three or
more of the trustees, shall immediately appoint a meeting of the body
of the trustees for the purpose aforesaid. And also, We do will, give
and grant to the said trustees, convened as aforesaid, that they
elect, nominate and appoint, so many tutors and professors, to assist
the president in the education and government of the students
belonging thereto as they the said trustees shall, from time to time,
and at any time think needful and serviceable to the interests of said
Dartmouth College. And also that the said trustees, or their
successors, or the major part of any seven or more of them, convened
for that purpose as above directed, shall at any time displace and
discharge from the service of said Dartmouth College, any or all such
officers, and elect others in their room and stead as before directed.
And also that the said trustees or their successors, or the major part
of any seven of them which shall convene for that purpose as above
directed, do from time to time as occasion shall require, elect,
constitute and appoint a treasurer, a clerk, an usher and a steward,
for the said Dartmouth College, and appoint to them, and each of them,
their respective businesses and trust; and displace and discharge from
the service of said college, such treasurer, clerk, usher or steward,
and elect others in their room and stead; which officers so elected as
before directed, We do for us, our heirs and successors, by these
presents constitute and establish in their respective offices, and do
give to each and every of them, full power and authority, to exercise
the same in said Dartmouth College, according to the directions and
during the pleasure of the said trustees, as fully and freely as any
like officers in any of our universities, colleges, or seminaries of
learning, in our realm of Great Britain, lawfully may or ought to do.
And also, that the said trustees or their successors, or the major
part of any seven or more of them, which shall convene for that
purpose, as is above directed, as often as one or more of said
trustees shall die, or by removal or otherwise shall, according to
their judgment become unfit or incapable to serve the interests of
said college, do, as soon as may be, after the death, removal, or such
unfitness or incapacity of such trustee or trustees, elect and appoint
such trustee or trustees as shall supply the place of him or them so
dying, or becoming incapable to serve the interests of said college;
and every trustee so elected and appointed, shall, by virtue of these
presents, and such election and appointment, be vested with all the
powers and privileges which any of the other trustees of said college
are hereby vested with. And We do further will, ordain and direct,
that from and after the expiration of two years from the enrolment of
these presents, such vacancy or vacancies shall be filled up unto the
complete number of _twelve Trustees_, eight of the aforesaid whole
number of the body of the trustees shall be resident and respectable
freeholders of our said Province of _New Hampshire_, and seven of said
whole number shall be laymen.
And We do further of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere
motion, will, give and grant unto the said trustees of _Dartmouth
College_ that they and their successors, or the major part of any
seven of them which shall convene for that purpose as above directed,
may make, and they are hereby fully empowered from time to time fully
and lawfully to make and establish such ordinances, orders and laws,
as may tend to the good and wholesome government of the said
_College_, and all the students and the several officers and ministers
thereof, and to the public benefit of the same, not repugnant to the
laws and statutes of our realm of _Great Britain_ or of this our
province of _New Hampshire_ (and not excluding any person of any
religious denomination whatsoever from free and equal liberty and
advantage of education, or from any of the liberties and privileges or
immunities of the said _College_ on account of his or their
speculative sentiments in religion, and of his or their being of a
religious profession different from the said _Trustees_ of the said
_Dartmouth College_), and such ordinances, orders and laws which shall
as aforesaid be made, we do by these presents, for us, our heirs and
successors, ratify, allow of and confirm, as good and effectual to
oblige and bind all the students and the several officers and
ministers of said _College_. And We do hereby authorize and empower
the said _Trustees of Dartmouth College_, and the _president_, tutors
and professors by them elected and appointed as aforesaid, to put such
ordinances, laws and orders into execution to all intents and
purposes.
And We do further of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere
motion, will, give and grant unto the said _Trustees_, of said
_Dartmouth College_, for the encouragement of learning and animating
the students of said _College_ to diligence and industry and a
laudable progress in literature, that they and their successors, or
the major part of any seven or more of them convened for that purpose
as above directed, do by the _President_ of said _College_ for the
time being, or any other deputed by them, give and grant any such
degree or degrees to any of the students of the said _College_, or any
others by them thought worthy thereof, as are usually granted in
either of the _Universities_ or any other _College_ in our realm of
_Great Britain_; and that they sign and seal diplomas or certificates
of such graduations to be kept by the graduates as perpetual memorials
and testimonies thereof.
And We do further of our special grace, certain knowledge and mere
motion, for us, our heirs and successors, by these presents give and
grant unto the _Trustees_ of said _Dartmouth College_ and to their
successors, that they and their successors shall have a common seal
under which they may pass all diplomas or certificates of degrees, and
all other affairs of business of and concerning the said _College_,
which shall be engraven in such form and with such an inscription as
shall be devised by the said Trustees for the time being, or by the
major part of any seven or more of them convened for the service of
said _College_ as is above directed.
And We do further for us our heirs and successors, give and grant unto
the _Trustees_ of said _Dartmouth College_ and their successors, or to
the major part of any seven or more of them convened for the service
of said _College_, full power and authority from time to time to
nominate and appoint all other officers and ministers which they shall
think convenient and necessary for the service of the said _College_
not herein particularly named or mentioned; which officers and
ministers we do hereby impower to execute their offices and trusts as
fully and freely as any one of the officers and ministers in our
_Universities_ or _Colleges_ in our realm of _Great Britain_ lawfully
may or ought to do.
And further, that the generous contributors to the support of this
design of spreading the knowledge of the only true God and Saviour
among the _American_ savages, may from time to time be satisfied that
their liberations are faithfully disposed of in the best manner for
that purpose, and that others may in future time be encouraged in the
exercise of the like liberality for promoting the same pious design;
it shall be the duty of the _President_ of said _Dartmouth College_
and of his successors, annually or as often as he shall be thereunto
desired or requested, to transmit to the Right Hon., Hon. and worthy
Gentlemen of the trust in _England_ before mentioned, a faithful
account of the improvements and disbursements of the several sums he
shall receive from the donations and bequests made in _England_
through the hands of the said _Trustees_, and also advise them of the
general plans laid and prospects exhibited, as well as a faithful
account of all remarkable occurrences, in order if they shall think
expedient that they may be published. And this to continue so long as
they shall perpetuate their board of Trust, and there shall be any of
the _Indian_ natives remaining to be proper objects of that charity.
And lastly, our express will and pleasure is, and We do by these
presents for us our heirs and successors, give and grant unto the said
_Trustees_ of _Dartmouth College_ and to their successors forever,
that these our letters patent or the enrolment thereof in the
Secretary's office of our province of _New Hampshire_ aforesaid, shall
be good and effectual in law to all intents and purposes against us
our heirs and successors, without any other license, grant or
confirmation from us our heirs and successors hereafter by the said
_Trustees_ to be had and obtained, notwithstanding the not writing or
misrecital, not naming or misnaming the aforesaid offices, franchises,
privileges, immunities, or other the premises or any of them, and
notwithstanding a writ of _ad quod damnum_ hath not issued forth to
enquire of the premises or any of them before the ensealing hereof,
any statute, act, ordinance or proviso, or any other matter or thing
to the contrary notwithstanding.
To have and to hold, all and singular the privileges, advantages,
liberties, immunities, and all other the premises herein and hereby
granted and given, or which are meant, mentioned, or intended to be
herein and hereby given and granted unto them the said _Trustees_ of
_Dartmouth College_ and to their successors forever.

In Testimony whereof We have caused these our letters to be made
_patent_, and the public seal of our said province of _New Hampshire_
to be hereunto affixed.
Witness our trusty and well beloved John Wentworth, Esq., Governor and
Commander in Chief in and over our said Province, etc., this
thirteenth day of _December_, in the tenth year of our reign, and in
the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and sixty-nine.
J. WENTWORTH.

Transcriber's Notes:
The caret character (^) indicates a superscript.
There is one instance of [=m] which indicates a bar over the m in
the original.
The footnote on page 84 does not have an anchor in the text. I have
guessed the correct placement is after 'fundamental rules of
Arithmetic.'
The footnote on page 167 does not have an anchor in the text. I have
guessed the correct placement is after 'were printed by them at about
the same period.'
On page 14, it is unclear what the fraction is, but the bottom number
is clearly 4, so I have guessed at 1/4. "L66 17_s._ 7-1/4_d._,
lawful money."
Inconsistencies in the spelling of names in the Appendix, misspelled
words within quoted material (i.e. neccessary), and inconsistencies
in hyphenated words have all been retained.
Inconsistencies between spelling in the text and in the Index have
been normalized. For instance, Delancey was changed to De Lancey.
