Dr. Seuss does it thoroughly! by Joe Bunting | 3 Comments. In the spring of 1925, a Dartmouth College senior named Theodor Geisel was caught drinking, a serious offense during prohibition. As punishment, he was forced out of his role as editor-in-chief of Dartmouthâs humor magazine, Jack-O-Lantern. That didnât stop Geisel from writing, though.
