RELICS OF OLD DARTMOUTH
February, 1912

In another paragraph a few of the relics of Old Dartmouth preserved in the library have been mentioned. The list which follows is a fairly complete one of those kept in the various college buildings. It is surprising that the list is so short. There are probably many more known to the readers of the Alumni Magazine of' which it would be interesting to hear. It may be that sometime Dartmouth will have a treasure room stored with objects and pictures recalling other days. The list follows:

Manuscripts of Wheelock, Occum, Webster, Choate, and others. This is an especially rich collection and occupies the steel filing case in Wilson Hall.

Books from the libraries of Lord Dartmouth, Webster and Choate.

Piece of old rough-hewn oak stud from Eleazar Wheelock's church in Lebanon (now Columbia), Connecticut.

Corner from top stair in Eleazar Wheelock's Indian School in Lebanon, Connecticut. (Both of the above are framed in a glass case).

Brick from fireplace in Governor Wentworth house, Wolfeboro, N. H.

Webster's inkstand.

Head of cane given to Webster by the Earl of Lonsdale.

Webster's tall hat, made in 1852.

Webster's plough. (There is some dispute as to the authenticity of this.)

Webster's arm-chair.

Collection of Webster daguerreotypes.

Millstone from Wheelock's mill on Mink Brook.

Clock made from material taken from old Dartmouth Hall.

Brass sun-dial presented to the College in 1774.

Canteen carried by Lieutenant Ordronaux in the Dartmouth Phalanx.

Knapsack carried by a member of the Dartmouth. Phalanx.
