Dartmouth University
Defunct university in New Hampshire (1817–1819) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dartmouth University is a defunct institution in New Hampshire which existed from 1817 to 1819. It was the result of a thwarted attempt by the state legislature to make Dartmouth College, a private college, into a public university. The United States Supreme Court case that settled the matter, Dartmouth College v. Woodward, is considered a landmark.
Not to be confused with Dartmouth College, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, or the fictional British university of this name featured in Peep Show.
