1,500-foot wells drilled near Tuck Drive

The Dartmouth‘s article on LEED certification at Dartmouth mentions that the College has drilled two 1,500-foot wells to cool the Tuck Mall Dormitory — it’s interesting to note that the dorm is within 100 yards of the first wells dug at the College, the unsuccessful ones Eleazar Wheelock dug when he was trying to set up a hamlet near what is now the rear of Butterfield Hall.
