Dartmouth origins and early Indian school roots
In a historical note Rev W F Dubkle discusses Daniel Webster's education at Wheelock's Indian Charity School, its evolution into Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire, and the roles of Sampson Occom and Wheelock in founding and shaping the institution.
