History
A colonial charter in 1769
Dartmouth’s founding charter was signed on December 13, 1769. Dartmouth Libraries identifies the college as the ninth colonial college and the last chartered by the British Crown.
Samson Occom helped raise funds in Britain for Wheelock’s school. Dartmouth Libraries explains that Occom later objected when the funds supported a college focused primarily on white students rather than Indigenous communities.
Dartmouth’s admissions history recounts the college’s successful challenge to New Hampshire’s attempt to amend its charter in 1819. Daniel Webster, a Dartmouth graduate, argued for preserving the original charter.
The athletics timeline dates Dartmouth’s first football game to November 16, 1881: a 1–0 victory over Amherst, with Charles Oakes scoring the touchdown under that era’s scoring rules.
Formal Ivy League football competition began in 1956. Dartmouth’s timeline records the program’s first outright Ivy championship in 1958, clinched with a 21–12 victory at Princeton.
The 1970 Dartmouth team went 9–0 and won the Ivy championship and Lambert Trophy. The athletics timeline credits the defense with six shutouts that season.
In February 2024 Dartmouth announced plans to name the stadium at Memorial Field for Buddy Teevens. The announcement preserved Memorial Field’s separate role honoring students and alumni lost in wars.
