Book Description

Excerpt from Sketches of the Alumni of Dartmouth College: From the First Graduation in 1771 to the Present Time, With a Brief History of the Institution Some persons may object that no more has been said of the personal or religious character of many, especially deceased, individuals, but the little that does appear transcends the original design of Dr Richards, which was almost purely statistical, and has been adhered to for the most part lest too great a bulk should enhance the price of the volume and diminish its circulation. For the lives of the more distinguished, readers must repair to what has already been recorded at length, and content themselves with the limited annals which are here intended to preserve from oblivion the name of every educated son of Dartmouth, no matter what may be his claim to the remembrance of posterity. As changes of residence are continually occurring, it is to be understood that the last place known may not always be the right location now.
