Description An account of the resource This 1947 Collegian article explains that during construction two human skeletons and one coffin were found on campus. There were many rumours and speculations surrounding the dead bodies, with professors and students speculating that the bodies had died from the flu, and the most popular speculation being that the bodies were part of a burial ground for enslaved Africans. The article then transforms into satire, claiming that the true reason is because William and Mary boys died from a football injuries during a game, and were buried under the field to save expenses. The article explains that they money that was saved from burying the boys under the field, provided William and Mary the funds to improve their football program.

Description An account of the resource This article talks about the University of Richmond's anticipated football game against William & Mary and its mascot, the Indian. The campus held an annual rally or "trial" as they referred to it. For the "trial," they pretended to discuss the fate of the "Indian" mascot and decided that it was guilty and needed to be sentenced and punished on the football field, or "Hunting Ground." For the rally, members of the university and the Richmond community got together and danced in "Indian fashion," sang songs, yelled, and made a bonfire. The community prepared to seal the fate of William and Mary's mascot, the Indians.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1940-11-15 Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource Newspapers Description An account of the resource The brief article is about the defeat of North Carolina. The article states that seeing this score (Richmond 14- North Carolina 13) is exciting as that means there will be a "scalping of an Injun", which we see mentioned in other articles. The article states the win is attributed to the team’s talent, and fan’s enthusiasm. The article concludes with the phrase, "Lead those Injuns in!", with reference to scalping. However, in the 1940’s North Carolina’s mascot was the Wolf Pack. This indicates some kind of confusion at The Collegian, or perhaps students were using these chants with reference to an upcoming game against William and Mary. This article seems to be reciting chants that fans and Richmond supporters used at the game.

It was written by student Romney Smith who criticized a U.S. Court ruling that allowed the NFL team, The Washington Redskins, to keep its name, despite allegations that it was racist. Smith, who is part Native American herself, argues that a sports team would never be allowed to use racial slurs such as "honkey," "chink," or "nigger," as its name, thus it was problematic that the Washington team was allowed to keep theirs. She argues that the naming of the team allows people to remain ignorant of its offensive nature, "People will not recognize the word 'redskin' as offensive, because after all, if the NFL allows a team to be named that, it mustn't be that bad." She also states that, "By the court supporting this name, the United States is supporting institutional racism."
