Boston University Removes the Myles Standish Name from Dorm
The executive committee of the BU Board of Trustees approved the name change on May 16. The dorm, on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square, will be known by its address, 610 Beacon Street. The decision was made based on Standish’s history as a military leader of the Plymouth Colony in the early 1600s, during which he was known for his brutality toward members of local tribes.
