MEMORY-HOLED FOR BACKDATED WRONGTHINK: Swarthmore scrubs professor’s name from hall due to ‘Indigenous grave excavation’.

Swarthmore College plans to unveil new names for its former Trotter Hall and Trotter Lawn this fall after campus leaders discovered that their namesake, natural history Professor Spencer Trotter, excavated a Native American grave site and removed human remains.

President Val Smith plans to review the renaming taskforce’s recommendations, submitted last week, and announce a final decision about the names in the fall, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Taskforce Chair Cat Norris told the Swarthmore Phoenix that the recommendations are based on feedback from the community as well as research to ensure the new names are not problematic.

“It turns out individuals are really complicated,” Norris told the student newspaper. “Their histories have been really complicated.”

You’re supposed to understand — and develop the ability to cope with — people being “really complicated” before you go to college.
