This review is from: The Dartmouth Story: A Narrative History of the College Buildings, People, and Legends (Hardcover)

"This is the story of how Dartmouth college came into being more than two hundred years ago in what was then literally a frontier wilderness -- and of how it survived to emerge in this century as one of the nation's outstanding institutions of higher learning, as well as a place of rare beauty. It's a story laced with the stuff of legend.

Remnants and reminders of the past abound -- in buildings, landscapes, paintings, monuments, and memorials. There is even a room in Baker library furnished to re-create a sense of the academic necessities and niceties with which the learned and pious founders of the colleve proclaimed their civilizing purposes....

But these metaphoric milestones cannot tell of the dramas they represent in Dartmouth's extraordinary saga."

Hardback with dustcover: green cloth over boards with a sewn binding. 250 pp, index, illustrations.
