For at least the 1927—1928 academic year, Indiana Jones taught at a small, private New England college in the United States of America on the recommendation of Marcus Brody.[1]
By May 1928, Jones was in his second year at the college but had become popular enough to have amassed a waiting list for his classes as well as having three quarters of his students being female at a time when ninety percent of archaeologists were male (much to the amusement and derision of his colleagues).[1]

Behind the scenes[]
The New England college appeared in Indiana Jones and the Unicorn's Legacy.[1]
It's unclear if the school is intended to be Marshall College from Raiders of the Lost Ark,[2] which went unnamed on-screen until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, or another institution altogether.[3] Across Lawrence Kasdan's drafts for Raiders, the setting of Indiana Jones' 1936 meeting with Musgrove and Eaton moves from the National Museum in Washington DC to a small New England college.[4] Kingdom of the Crystal Skull later expanded Marshall into a much larger university.[3]
