Northwestern’s “Sand Creek Cheyenne and Arapaho Memorial Alumni Center”
Correspondence from W. H. Seward (Secretary of State under President Lincoln) to Gov. John Evans
re: Request by President for Resignation - 7/18/1865

John Evans is considered a distinguished alumni on Northwestern’s Campus — to the extent that the institution has emblazoned his name on our alumni center. The university describes Evans on the alumni website as such: “Dr. John Evans, the principal founder of Northwestern University, also distinguished himself as a physician, railroad builder, urban developer, religious leader, and territorial governor.”
I guess Northwestern is effectively calling the slaughter of 70-163 Cheyenne and Arapaho at the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre distinguished work in urban development as a territorial governor…
