A book of interest to Dartmouth graduates is "The Religious Experience of John Humphrey Noyes Founder of the Oneida Community" compiled and edited by George Wallingford Noyes, published by Macmillan, 1923. Mr. Noyes was born in Brattleboro. Vermont, September 3, 1811, and graduated from Dartmouth in 1830. His early life was spent in Brattleboro and Putney, Vermont. He entered Dartmouth College, September, 1826, a short time after passing his fifteenth birthday. He had planned to go to Yale, but his mother came to the conclusion that "Dartmouth would be better for his morals." In a letter written to his parents soon after entering college he says:

"Up at five. Go to prayers at a quarter after. Then immediately go to recitation. Then have breakfast. Then study till eleven, when we recite in Graeca Majora, which takes up an hour. Then until one we employ ourselves as we please. At one we take dinner, then study till four, when we recite in the grammar, which takes an hour also. At a quarter before six we go to prayers, which with supper takes up the time till dark, leaving us only three-fourths of an hour in the evening to get our lesson in Livy for the next morning."

After leaving Dartmouth, Mr. Noyes studied law for a while, and later went to Andover and to Yale to study theology. He became a Perfectionist and was the founder of the colony at Putney, Vermont, which later removed to New York and became the famous Oneida Community.
