"A Brief History of Dartmouth College"
Samson Occom (Mohegan) is one of the founding members of Dartmouth College. He was one of the first on this continent to call attention to some of the harmful social effects of alcohol use, particularly among native peoples. Peter Mancall in a publication of Cornell University Press says that Occom identified social costs of alcohol use in "what became the most famous printed assault of any Indian on the liquor trade." (Quote is from Deadly Medicine: Indians and Alcohol in Early America by Peter C. Mancall, Cornell University Press.)

Smoking
VIDEOS
The Doctor is In: Smoking Cessation (video)
QuickTime video: High Bandwidth; 29 minutes.
In the United States, tobacco use causes the death of over 540,000 people annually. Millions of smokers try to quit
every year, but only about 5% succeed. However, with the medical and psychological help now available, the success rate can
improve dramatically; there has never been a better time to stop smoking. This program explains the various medications,
support groups, and counseling that can help bring success to smokers who want to quit. Several people are followed
through the cessation process. The program is sympathetic to the difficulty of quitting, acknowledging that it may take
many attempts to conquer what medical professionals consider a chronic disease. Experts include Michael Fiore, MD, Director
of the Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention at the University of Wisconsin Medical School; physician and
associate professor Nan Cochran of Dartmouth Medical School; and Mattew Myers, president of the National Center for
Tobacco Free Kids.
