The '''Dover Institute for Higher Learning'''  is an educational facility located on [[Dover]] in the [[Draconis Combine]].  The Institute was founded by survivors of the People's Reconstruction Effort University of [[Ashio]], which in [[2865]] was destroyed as part of the [[Shadow War]] between the PRE and [[ISF]].  In [[2910]] they created the DIHL under the auspices of [[Coordinator]] [[Shinjiro Kurita]].  While geared towards scientific and technical education for doctors and engineers, the DIHL also offers a training program for [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]].<ref name=HHK146>''Handbook: House Kurita'', p. 146</ref><ref name=FMDC>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 26-27</ref>

The school's colors are white, grey and blue, which match the Institute's symbol of a glacier and is supposed to represent the power behind proper direction and purpose.  For many MechWarriors though, it represents the length of time it takes a Dover graduate to accomplish anything.  However, this focus on making a wise decision instead of a quick one serves Dover MechWarriors well, not only inside the cockpit but elsewhere too; many rise quickly to command positions, both in the [[Benjamin Military District]] and elsewhere.<ref name=HHK146/><ref name=FMDC/>
