The History of Dartmouth College is a comprehensive book written by Baxter Perry Smith that delves into the origins and evolution of one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of higher education in the United States. The book provides a detailed account of the founding of Dartmouth College in 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock, a Congregational minister who aimed to educate Native American youth in the Christian faith and Western civilization. The author traces the college's development through the colonial period, the American Revolution, and the early years of the republic, highlighting the challenges and triumphs that shaped its character and mission. He explores the college's role in the formation of American intellectual and cultural life, including its contribution to the rise of the liberal arts curriculum and the emergence of professional schools.The book also examines the social and political context in which Dartmouth College operated, including the debates over religious and political freedom, the rise of abolitionism and women's rights, and the impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction on higher education. Through a wealth of primary sources and archival materials, Smith provides a vivid portrait of the people and events that shaped Dartmouth College's history, including its faculty, students, and alumni, as well as its relationships with neighboring communities and other institutions of higher learning.Overall, The History of Dartmouth College is an engaging and informative work that offers a rich and nuanced understanding of the college's past and its enduring significance in American education and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
