The Early History of Dartmouth College Earl Gordon Bill Craven Laycock Dean of Freshmen Dean of the College his home at Lebanon, Conn., December 18, 1754, for the Christian education of Indian youth. The school was known as Moor's Indian Charity School, so named from Joshua Moor, who contributed a house and two acres of land. Funds for the maintenance of the school were received from various sources—from private individuals, from: the General Courts of Massachusetts Bay and of New Hampshire, and from Great Britain, where the enterprise had awakened the deepest interest. From the latter source an endowment was secured, chiefly through the efforts of Samson Occom, the Indian preacher, one of Dr. Wheelock's students, who was commis- sioned to make a tour of England and Scotland for this purpose in 1765. The sum of ten thousand pounds was thus raised, and committed to the charge of a board of trustees w ith the Earl of Dartmouth as its head. As the result of this endowment it was determined by Dr. Wheelock to enlarge the purpose of the school especi- ally to reach 'a greater proportion of English youth, and to change its location. Various proposals for a site were made, but after careful investigation that chosen was the township of Hanover, in the region of Cowas or Coos, in the Province of New Hampshire. Apart from the nearness of this site to the Canadian Indians, the determining reason for the choice seems to have been the attractiveness of the location, and the fact that it was the natural center of ''more than two hundred towns, chartered, settled, or about to be settled. Re- moval to the Province of New Hampshire also gave the assurance of a charter which it had thus far been dif- ficult to obtain. D ARTMOUTH COLLEGE is the outgrowth of a school which the Reverend Eleazar Wheelock opened in Dartmouth College in 1834
