Statement from the Board of Trustees

Description
-
In 1974, the Dartmouth Board of Trustees released a statement announcing “use of the [Indian] symbol in any form to be inconsistent with present institutional and academic objectives of the College in advancing Native American education.” The Board took no official action on removing the symbol because the College never formally adopted the symbol. Instead, the Board made it “a matter of individual conscience.” This statement is generally considered the official removal of the Indian symbol since it was the first time that the Board of Trustees discouraged its use.
