Insulting visual cliches of yesteryear
It's remarkable what sort of stuff went up only a few decades ago. The "Indian'' motif, by the way, stems from the fact that Dartmouth College goes back to a secondary school founded for Native Americans in Connecticut in the 1750s that later, in 1769, became a college in Hanover, N.H., whose first mission (quickly abandoned) was to educate Native Americans. But the college in the past few decades has sought to become a major institution for Native Americans.
