The name of the newspaper was changed "to be a faithful expression of the mind of the students, — to be, what its title imports, "The Dartmouth", possessing such a local character and stamp of individuality as will render it acceptable to all who claim this Institution as their Alma Mater." This changing focus on local and College news contrasts with the greater national and local focus of the newspaper in the first decades of the 1800s. Financially, "The Dartmouth" was self-sustaining through a subscription revenue model.
