"Whereas ... the Reverend Eleazar Wheelock ... educated a number of the children of the Indian natives with a view to their carrying the Gospel in their own language and spreading the knowledge of the great Redeemer among their savage tribes. And ... the design became reputable among the Indians insomuch that a larger number desired the education of their children in said school. ... [Therefore] Dartmouth-College [is established] for the education and instruction of youths ... in reading, writing and all parts of learning which shall appear necessary and expedient for civilizing and Christianizing the children." - "The Charter of Dartmouth College", (Dresden: Isaiah Thomas, 1779), pp. 1,4
