Mohammed University, since he never practiced slavery. What, he did? Well he probably would’ve voted for obama, so that’s okay.

John Harvard died in his early thirties, of consumption. Perhaps “they” can make a case that he was swapping spit with the wrong types?

My ex-FIL was an Eli. He finished as part of the war class of 1946.

When Yale snagged that Taliban "student", Dartmouth grad Laura Ingraham had a guy on that explained that since "State" didn't recognized the Taliban, it wasn't put on the "undesirables" list for visas.

" ... it was becoming virtually impossible to actually satirize the accelerating demands of the Left ... "

Time to rewind an old campaign slogan from 1960, Kennedy vs Nixon. Let us now start accusing the LEFT of opening the "SATIRE GAP"!

I am pleased to see that that gentleman, that long ago, maintained the convention that I ascribe to this day, that these fanatics are NOT LIBERALS but LEFTISTS. Liberalism means open of mind, those of the LEFT lack that ability!

Founded in 1832, not 1932.

Calhoun College has stuck out like a sore thumb for years. Eventually they'll change the name and it won't be such a big deal when they do.

Calhoun just wasn't a Connecticut or East Coast guy. It would be different if we were talking about something in South Carolina.

It might also be different if Yale's residential colleges had an illustrious history, but they only go back to the 1930s -- within the living memory of some people still alive.

If the university is embarrassed by their own name, they could just say that from now on they are going to be named after Linus Yale (of the lock-making family) or Frankie Yale (Al Capone's mentor).
