Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a place/name 'Dartmouth' combined with the noun 'college' straightforwardly denotes an educational institution called Dartmouth. A B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it refers to a college/university (even if they may not know specific details like its Ivy League status), and this proper-name + institution pattern is cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
Dartmouth College was named after William Legge, the Earl of Dartmouth, who gave money and support to the school's founder, so the founder named the school to thank his 'supporter'. That's why the name Dartmouth College now means the university in New Hampshire.
