But as 2016 comes to a close, the leaders of Dartmouth find themselves navigating some rough financial waters. The college, which was founded 247 years ago, posted a net operating loss of $112 million during the fiscal year that ended June 30. A year earlier, the college experienced a $15.2 million loss.
