A good friend of mine found this in a pile of stamps from the attic of his wife’s parents.  He asked if I knew of this case, poor fellow.  I went through the whole story starting with Eleazor, ‘500 gallons of rum’, the NH legislature’s attempted takeover, complicity of John Wheelock and of course Daniel Webster’s role.  Moved on to the 5-1 Supreme Court decision from the Marshall court and its significance long term for contract litigation.

Classmates interested in honoring Teevens’ legacy may donate to the Kirsten and Eugene F. “Buddy” Teevens '79 Scholarship Fund, named in appreciation for the couples’ caring for Dartmouth students. Gifts may also be made to the Friends of Football program in support of football excellence at Dartmouth.

Gifts to the Kirsten and Eugene F. “Buddy” Teevens '79 Scholarship Fund are final and subject to the terms of the Fund.
