Later, in 1883, the legislature appropriated $10,000 to Dartmouth with the condition that it create a fund for New Hampshire’s poor to

attend the College. The latter measure also required that the College submit annual reports on the use of the endowed fund — known as the 1883 State Fund — to the state government. “Dartmouth is not above the laws of the state of New Hampshire, although sometimes it acts like it is,” state representative Renny Cushing (D-Hampton) said. “They took the money and ignored the law.” Cushing has submitted a request for legislation to be drafted to bring Dartmouth in line with existing legislative demands, including the 1883 State Fund’s reporting requirement. The College and Cushing are both discussing reporting options for the fund with the charitable trusts directorate in the state attorney general’s ofSEE LAND GRANT PAGE 3

Eduroam has been widely adopted by universities, both in the United States and abroad. Students from participating schools can access other universities’ networks using their own login credentials, giving them Wi-Fi access at any participating location.
