Description An account of the resource This 1934 Collegian article discusses the potential for a team name change from 'Spiders' to 'Rebels.' The article attempts to persuade readers that a new name is needed due to the fact that the name is "insignificant" and does not "represent any particular strength, [or] physical power." A Richmond alumnus has suggested the name the Rebels, since it represents being the Capital of the Confederacy as the South rebelled against the North, and the fact that RIchmond "possesses more monuments emblematic of the Civil War than any other state in the South." The article ends by saying that there is a high chance that there may be a new name change in the running.

Description An account of the resource This 1927 Collegian article attempts to persuade students to go see the Richmond Senior play at the Strand Theatre. The play being performed is Shenandoah, and is described as a play that everyone will enjoy, "whether from the North or the South in that it brings vividly back the days of the Civil War, the gaities, and the color of the sixties." The article describes that the play will show "days of love, of sacred honor, of colonial pride and chivalry." There then is a discussion in the ways that the students should feel connected to the play because their fellow classmates have all worked so hard on the show, and they should be supported and celebrated. The article concludes by stating that this play is a chance for the college community to gather, and that Shenandoah and "the period it represents will fill an evening worthy of remembrance."

Dick Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Winter 1961 Description An account of the resource This article showcases the work of University of Richmond alum A. E. Dick Howard (RC '54). At the time, Howard was preparing for a career in law at the University of Virginia, prior to which he spent time studying philosophy, politics, and economics. Howard discusses an assertion made by an Oxford graduate: "If we were going to boycott South African goods, then we should boycott goods made in the Southern States of America, for the Negro there is as oppressed as in South Africa." Howard argues that even if nations show an interest in and affection for America, it does not prevent misconceptions, stating, "if America is to win the battle for men's minds, it has a major public relations job to do." Howard argues Americans who travel overseas must make use of the opportunity to build "an image of an America in which 'inalienable rights' are more than a phrase and 'In God, we trust' is more than an inscription on a coin." The article seems to indicate a friendship between Howard and alum George Mitchell (RC '23).

Byrd criticized Severinson's decisions, especially over her demands on educational institutions, which would "require lowering academic standards." Byrd made these claims of lowered standards after Severinson informed state schools that they would need to integrate in order to continue receiving federal funding under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Byrd argued the majority of state voters were against Dr. Severinson's changes to the education system in Virginia. Dr. Severinson had warned the College of William and Mary that they would lose $1 million a year in federal funding if they did not meet desegregation requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Not only does Byrd want Dr. Severinson removed from HEW, but kept out of any leadership roles within the state.</a> Subject The topic of the resource College integration College of William and Mary College presidents College students, Black Southern States United States.

Title A name given to the resource Article "Class cabinet forced to stop selling 'offensive' shirts" Description An account of the resource This article highlights an incident in which the Richmond College Junior Class Cabinet was made to stop selling t-shirts featuring the Confederate spider mascot. Director of Administrative Services Louie Love said that the spider dressed in Confederate uniform was "directly in conflict with what we're trying to address with Common Ground." Love had served on the Common Ground Action Committee, which had attempted to make all university publications more inclusive. The shirt was one of four sold in the Commons--it said "Spider Pride" on the front and had the Confederate spider on the back, which the articles describes as "General Spidey....a spider dressed in a Civil War-era general's jacket with 'U of R' on the jacket." The Collegiate Licensing Department had approved the shirt. Max Sirkin, president of the class cabinet, stated that the design was chosen because the cabinet wanted "something more fearsome than the 'beanie baby' that is the current logo." Junior senator Andrew Spiegel had found the design in a yearbook at the Virginia Baptist Historical Society. The cabinet planned to remove "U of R" and "Spider" from the shirt and continue to sell it.

UR was the largest privately supported university in the state of Virginia. Regional director of HEW Dr. Eloise Severinson suggested that involving African Americans into all phases of the University (students, faculty, and board of trustees) would help remove the image of an all white institution. HEW had asked the Virginia Governor Holton to create a college desegregation plan, however, only state-supported colleges would need to abide. Dr. Modlin has refused to comment on the HEW remarks and Dr. Severinson had requested a reply regarding HEW's non-discriminatory recommendations by October 1. At the time, UR had 4,000 students at the university, with six black students enrolled at Richmond College, and had hired one black teacher at Richmond College and one at University College (referred to as the West End branch in the article).

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1971-10-29 Description An account of the resource This article recounts controversy surrounding the playing of the song "Dixie" during school events. Richmond College student government, led by Steve Nock, moved to "restrain" the use of the song "Dixie" during school events, and the issue of the appropriateness of Dixie consumed the first several pages of the Collegian. Some students argued the song was not offensive, saying some students "shouldn't be so small as to be offended by a bunch of words." Stanley Davis, a black student at the University, argued that Dixie was offensive and a symbol of the Old South and repression. Davis said it would be difficult for Richmond to encourage black students to attend while playing a song that created a certain kind of "attitude" and "image" about the University. Senior Terry Anderson felt the song kept Richmond from having a progressive image, and another student felt that if a song is offensive to even a small minority, it is "common courtesy" to cease playing it.
