The correct date of establishment: It doesn't make sense to print the (implausible) 1799 date without some evidence, does it? The paper founded that year was a local newspaper, not a student publication, although Webster did write for it. It was not called The Dartmouth, and it folded after a few years, and no later newspaper revived it. It had nothing to do with a student paper of the 1840s that also failed after a few years.

That paper of the 1840s could perhaps legitimately claim to have been revived by the Dartmouth Literary Monthly (1867?), which has been published almost continually to the present. That's old enough. --Editing 20:23, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
