	Eleazar Wheelock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Reverend Eleazar Wheelock (April 22, 1711 – April 24, 1779) was an American Congregational minister, orator, educator, and founder of Dartmouth College.
		Eleazar's success in preparing Occom for the ministry encouraged him to found a school for Native American Indians, with the purpose of instilling, in the boys, elements of secular and religious education, so that they could return to their native culture as missionaries.
		Eleazar obtained a charter from King George III on December 13, 1769, over the objections of Samson Occom and the English Board of Trustees headed by Lord Dartmouth who opposed the addition of the college.

		Wheelock received offers of land from various towns, but finally selected Dresden (now Hanover), New Hampshire, both because of the healthfulness of the region, and because of the large landed endowment that was proffered by John Wentworth, the royal governor.
		In August, 1770, Wheelock removed to Hanover, which was then a wilderness, and, after directing the clearing of a few acres and the building of one or two log-cabins, was joined by his sons and pupils, who at first dwelt in booths of hemlock boughs and slept on beds of the same.

	Dartmouth College - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Founded in 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock, with funds partially raised by the efforts of a Native American preacher named Samson Occom, it is the ninth-oldest college in the United States.
		Dartmouth was made the ninth and final colonial college when it was given a royal charter by King George III in 1769, mostly as a result of the efforts of Eleazar Wheelock, a Puritan minister, and his patron, Royal Governor John Wentworth.
		The fundraising was meant to support Wheelock's ongoing Connecticut institution of the 1740s, Moor's Indian Charity School (chartered 1754), but Wheelock instead applied the funds to the establishment of Dartmouth College, the ninth and last colonial college.

	The Charter of Dartmouth College
		Eleazar Wheelock, who had operated Latin and Indian schools in Connecticut since the 1730s, drafted Dartmouth's charter during the spring and summer of 1769; it is written in the voice of King George III (the royal "we," referring to "our trusty and well beloved John Wentworth").
		Wheelock sent it to The Royal Governor of the Colony of New Hampshire, Sir John Wentworth, during August, and Wentworth granted the charter to Dartmouth College on December 13, 1769.
		Eleazar Wheelock, specifically titled "founder" in the document [228] described the new school as an "academy" but suggested Wentworth elevate its status as he reveals in a letter to the Governor: "Sir, if proper to use the word 'College' instead of 'Academy' in the charter, I shall be well pleased with it."

		Wheelock, whose health was, by his own account, "so despairing that I am in an infirm and broken state," lived in terror of the dread disease.

		Wheelock's anger appears to have been redirected— he now seemed less intent on preventing inoculation of "his" students than on ensuring that he made the decisions about their care.

		Wheelock settled in the township of Hanover and erected his single log hut as the home of the new school.
		Wheelock had suggested that the school be called Wentworth, but the governor, who was so instrumental in securing the royal charter, modestly preferred to name it for his friend William Legge, the Earl of Dartmouth, an important benefactor of the College, and a trustee of its original endowment.
		The College was hardly established before jurisdictional disputes between John Wheelock, Eleazar's son and the second president, and the institution's board of trustees developed into a controversy that threatened its very life.

		Wheelock's irrational decision had nearly cost Occom the paid ministry among his own people that he had been hoping for for so long.

	The Dartmouth Independent: Town and Gown Calm Down
		Less than nine years later, in mid-1770, Eleazar Wheelock settled on "the southwesterly corner of Hanover, adjoining upon Lebanon" as the site for Dartmouth College, noting its proximity to the Connecticut river", by which the savvy Dartmouth traveler could commute to both Crown-Point on Lake Champlain and Canada.
		Wheelock began a long and bitter feud with the Hanover authorities, angry at this slight and spurred on by a letter from the Class of 1777 demanding that Hanover either start treating Dartmouth students better or that the whole Class would transfer to another college.
		As arguments continued, Wheelock grew increasingly nasty; the high point probably came when he accused his opponents of violating the Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Commandments and urged righteous vengeance upon them.
