The Dartmouth (informally known as The D) is America's oldest college newspaper, published independently at Dartmouth College (although its offices are located on campus). According to its web site [1], the paper began publication in 1799, although the Hanover newspapers existing then are unconnected to a monthly literary magazine that students established around 1843, which is the publication that evolved into the current paper. For that reason, The Dartmouth currently (2006) states that it is in its 163rd volume.
