伊利札‧惠洛克教士 (Reverend
Eleazar Wheelock) 成立了達特茅斯學院
1769年12月13日
俗稱「綠衫軍」 (Big
Green) 的達特茅斯學院是全美最著名的大學之一，但是這間學校最初只是一棟木屋而已。一個叫做伊利札‧惠洛克的教士在1769年12月13日在英國皇室的許可下，成立了這間學校。
從1754年開始，惠洛克就一直想要成立一間讓印地安原住民就讀的慈善學校。當他搬到新罕布夏州之後，經由州長湯瑪斯‧溫沃士的協助，他順利取得成立學校的許可。這間學校成立的宗旨就在於提供「適當的教育與指導給年輕人與這塊土地上的印地安族人……與英國年輕人和其他人。」
The "Big Green," Dartmouth College, is one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S., but it started out in a log hut. A minister, Reverend Eleazar Wheelock, founded this college with a royal charter on December 13, 1769. Since 1754, Wheelock had been trying to sustain a Charity School for Native Americans. Moving to the province of New Hampshire, he succeeded with the help of Royal Governor Thomas Wentworth in obtaining the charter for a college. It would provide "education and instruction of Youth and of the Indian Tribes in this Land . . . and also of English Youth and any others."
