You need to install the signing certificate from a trusted source.  If
the college is not providing a trustworthy source for doing this they
are encouraging bad practice for users of all browsers.  Not having
used SSL builds of Lynx, I don't know how you install one, but I suspect
you just copy it to the appropriate directory.  For IE you would double
click a .crt file (again taken from a trustworthy source).

This warning indicates that there is a prima facie case that you are not
talking to the server that you think you are talking to.
