The Tutor's Life
That the Dartmouth faculty had disciplinary headaches back in 1774 's attested by this passage from a letter written by Levi Frisbie, member of the first graduating class:
"Doctor Wheelock has been to Connecticut and got home again - that the scholars were a little Rogueish while he was absent - and So he and the Tutors have been about weeding the College this two or 3 Days - and last Evening they plucked up a tall May Pole; or in Plain English they expelled Wm. May from the CollegeBodies Politic must amputate their distempered Limbs as well as Bodies Natural - his Crimes I have not the Patience nor Paper to relate however not the most Enormous but yet bad Enough - Some more Members are pretty Sore, but I guess they will Plaister them up for the Present. ... I thank my Good Fortune that I'm no Tutor."
