Abstract
At the heart of the Dartmouth College campus, sheltered by Webster Hall's portico, a bronze plaque reads: "Founded by Eleazer Wheelock; Refounded by Daniel Webster."' A reference to the Dartmouth College case, the inscription commemorates the decision's pivotal role in the school's survival. The Supreme Court decision's transformational impact, however, extends far beyond Hanover.
