Description

“In the fall term of 1986 the College was up in arms over the sudden rash of graffiti centered on the women’s bathrooms across campus. Last Spring, Dartmouth College offered a $1,000 reward to prevent graffiti which promoted divestment from the College. The College removed this graffiti immediately but failed to remove homophobic and sexist graffiti at the same time. In 1985, on the 40th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, “spray painted outlines of dead bodies appeared on campus sidewalks as graphic remembrances… the same afternoon, grounds personnel had scrubbed most of the figures off the sidewalks.” The Dartmouth Review “pasted offensively illustrated stickers reading “Stop AIDS” on the doors of many buildings and dorms” (not removed).
