The case that Richard N. Current describes in “The Dartmouth College Case,” is the four year prolonged Trustees of Dartmouth v. Woodward dispute between a private college and the state legislature of New Hampshire. In 1769, King George III of England “granted a charter to Dartmouth College” which “spelled out the purpose of the school, set up the structure to govern it, and gave land to the college” (“Key Supreme Court Cases”). The private college was established and funded by “a self-perpetuating board of trustees” without government interference (“Dartmouth College Case”). However, the legislature of New Hampshire became involved when certain people, among other reasons, wished to “revise the charter…[and change] the school from private to public” (“Key Supreme Court

Loper is not applicable to this case because unlike the regulation in Loper, Aston City Code § 06-79 is narrowly tailored to serve Aston’s government interest in protecting its citizens and economy because the ordinance does not prohibit begging in all public places within the City of Aston. The statute only makes it “unlawful for a person to panhandle . . . on the Downtown Square or the streets surrounding it . . . or within 1,000 feet of any spot on those streets . . . .” This restricted area is merely a small section of the City of Aston, as any solicitor may travel outside of the regulated area and make any verbal solicitations they like. Loper is also inapplicable, because the Aston panhandling ordinance does not place restrictions on non-verbal solicitations. The ordinance explicitly makes exceptions for “the act of standing or sitting with a sign or other indication that a donation is being sought, without any vocal request.” As stated previously, Petitioner could hold a sign that says “Give me money, please” while holding out his hands, and there would be no violation of the panhandling ordinance as long as he did not couple his act with a verbal request.
