The 1990s began on a controversial note for "The Dartmouth Review" when an unknown saboteur slipped an anti-Semitic quote from Adolf Hitler into the paper's credo. Although then editor-in-chief Kevin Pritchett immediately recalled the issue and apologized to all who had been offended, the incident fueled further accusations that the paper and its editors were racist. In response to popular demands from students and faculty members alike, President Freedman and the administration organized a “Rally Against Hate” to promote campus unity and censure the actions of "The Review". Many alumni and national media outlets were critical of this decision and faulted Freedman for not conducting a fact-finding mission before assuming that the Hitler quote was a deliberate ploy. Despite this blowback, however, the incident severally damaged the reputation of the publication and led to the resignation of several key editors. It would be years before staff recruitment and fundraising fully recovered.
