Tornado Alley (PROG)

Dartmouth is a great choice for yayaa's version of "prestige" having originally been built by looting the funds Samson Occum raised for an Indian school.

That is how it came about that Samson Occom sailed to England in 1765. Preaching from church to church with his traveling companion Rev. Daniel Whitaker, he was a sensation, drawing large crowds. He raised the enormous sum of twelve thousand pounds. The money was banked and its interest drawn to build the new school. Unfortunately, Rev. Wheelock did not abide by his original intent. Instead of using the money primarily for Indian education, he diverted it to the education of "English" youth. All the same, it is largely owing to Samson Occom that the institution we know as Dartmouth University was created.
