The august histories of various colleges and universities around the United States have been well documented throughout the centuries, and a number of these institutions have placed various related historical documents online for the use of historians, alumni, and others. The Rauner Special Collections Library at Dartmouth College has placed an 1877 copy of its own Chapman's Alumni Sketches online for perusal, and it is well worth a glance. The book was originally published in 1867, and was compiled by the Reverend George T. Chapman (Dartmouth, Class of 1804). The volume contains entries for most of the graduates from the classes of 1771 through 1867 within its 520 pages. Visitors may look through the work's various pages and through doing so, learn about the many rather distinguished alumni from Dartmouth's first century.
