Class Note 1942
Issue
I hope that all of you have sent in your class dues. Among other things this money keeps the Alumni Magazine coming. The new president of the College seems to be off to a good start, and what I have read about him is encouraging.
The change in succession of the presidents of Dartmouth has prompted Leo Caproni to do some research on the founders of the College. In 1754 Eleazar Wheelock started a charity school for the Indians, but he wanted to establish a college with a royal charter. He and Gov. Wentworth amassed 12,000 pounds, which they passed on to the Earl of Dartmouth’s trust. So the earl made a contribution and the College was named after him. The current Earl of Dartmouth is William (No. 10).
