Hanover
''It is…a small college, and yet there are those who love it,'' proclaimed Daniel Webster,
one of Dartmouth College's most famous graduates. The same could be said of the school's
home, Hanover, where town and gown seem intimately bound. Coffeehouses, bookstores,
and other shops are signs of the school's influence. The College Green, the grassy heart
of the campus, is flanked on one side by Dartmouth Row, a quartet of white Georgian-
style buildings. Other notable sites include the Hood Museum of Art and the Baker Library,
whose belfry rises even higher than the institution's towering elms and maples.
