This is a good point. At some point "progression", by removing any and all ties to the southern heritage of Ole Miss, stops being progression and simply becomes hiding. Basically we are trying to delete it from the history books so that it appears to have never happened. That is not progression.

There are better ways to show the rest of the country we have moved on

This is why I don't think Dixie should be removed because it's IMO on an equal plane to Ole Miss & Rebels

Here's somewhat my problem with this whole love affair with stripping Ole Miss from its history. In many cases its correct that we should disassociate ourselves from certain negative images like the Confederate Flag & Colonel Reb, but where do we draw the line? Should we tear down the confederate memorial to the University Greys to which our school derives its nickname?? Should we desecrate and destroy the Confederate Graveyard??? All because these things have association and ties to the Civil War and the Confederacy????
