Sylvanus Thayer; and the See also:Amos Tuck school of See also:administration and See also:finance, established in 1900 by See also:Edward Tuck—a remarkable feature, as it was the first, and, until the establishment at Harvard of a similar See also:graduate school, the only commercial school in the See also:country whose See also:work is largely See also:post-graduate. The See also:Chandler school of See also:science and the arts was founded by Abiel Chandler in 1851, in connexion with Dart-mouth, and was incorporated into the collegiate See also:department in 1893 as the Chandler scientific course in the college. From 1866 to 1893 the New Hampshire college of See also:agriculture and the mechanic arts, now at See also:Durham, was connected with Dartmouth. The medical school offers a four years' course, and each of the other two professional See also:schools a two years' course, the first See also:year of which may, under certain conditions, be counted as the See also:senior year of the undergraduate department.

In 1765 See also:Samson Occom (c. 1723–1792), an Indian preacher and former student of the school, visited See also:England and See also:Scotland in its behalf and raised £Io,000, whereupon plans were made for enlargement and for a See also:change of site to Hanover.
