Excerpt from The First Half Century of Dartmouth College: Being Historical Collections and Personal Reminiscences

I do not regard this as a lecture, or history of the college, but simply historical data which I have gathered in my reading, and my own personal reminiscences of the origin and life of the college to the end of the first fifty years of its existence. The college charter was obtained in 1769. Six years ago we celebrated its first centennial. I am of the class of 1820, just midway its first one hundred years. I had personal acquaintance with the second President Wheelock, and met Mr. Gray, who visited the college in 1837. Both were graduates in the first class in 1771. I lived at one time near Rev. Mr. Miltimore, of Newbury, Mass., of the class of 1774, and was familiarly acquainted with Nathaniel Adams, Esquire, of the class of 1775, who was the author of the "Portsmouth Annals," and one of the founders of the New Hampshire Historical Society in 1823. Caleb Bingham, of the class of 1782, furnished my boyhood's satchel with his "Young Ladies' Accidence," "American Preceptor," and "Columbian Orator," and Daniel Adams, of the class of 1797, with his "Scholars' Arithmetic, or Federal Accountant." When I came to the study of Latin, I was introduced to the Latin Grammar of John Smith, A. M., of the class of 1773, and a professor of the college. When I entered in 1816, I found, as members of the faculty. Prof. Ebenezer Adams, of the class of 1791, and Prof. Roswell Shurtleff, class of 1799, with President Francis Brown, of the class of 1805. My childhood's pastor was Rev. Samuel Hidden, of the class of 1781, and the first lawyer I ever saw was James Otis Freeman, of the class of 1797.
