Harvard University plans to remove portraits of one of its former university presidents, Abbott Lawrence Lowell, from a building named after him on campus, as two incoming faculty Deans suggest that students should not have to see photos of the former president while they’re “eating Cheerios” in the dining hall.

The Lowell House will no longer be displaying portraits of former Harvard University president Abbott Lawrence Lowell and his wife Anna Parker Lowell by the time the building reopens for the fall 2019 semester, according to the school’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson.

Then destroy his house they’re in too.

Oh wait - they’ll happily take and consume his gifts from his hard earned work.

Hypocrites all.

Just another huge win to make those incompetent of any real accomplishments feel important.

If you have a business that charges $250 000 cash that people are willing to kill to sign up for, and what you are selling them is basically a piece of paper, you had better keep them happy.

Not reading the entire article before commenting is a Freeper hallmark.

They can freaking vote.

so the ONE accomplishment they can achieve is ####ing us

They want socialism dontcha know.

they can’t even survive democracy, no less socialism.

Reminds of when AJ on The Sopranos sees a bear in the backyard and starts screaming “mommy!!!!!”

That’s what these kids will be screaming if they ever have real socialism.

At this point it's obvious that people only go to Harvard or Yale for the prestige factor, certainly not because they want a great education or are in awe of the history of the institutions. Quite the opposite, everyone gets honors regardless of effort and they want to ban all the history.

Were I a hiring manager, I'd be very reluctant to consider a recent Harvard grad. They'd be more interested in tearing down the institution that hired them than trying to fit into it and helping it thrive, based on how they deal with being at Harvard.

The notion of protecting students from anything and everything that “offends them” is abusive to them as it hinders their growth as a person. Living in a free and democratic society, everyone is exposed to ideas and people with which we do not agree. It is necessary for children from young ages to be exposed bit by bit to various opinions which may not agree with other people. It is how we grow as individuals.

Maybe Harvard should put up pictures of ‘donors’ who got their idiot children into Harvard by putting up buildings. The one hand greases the other ‘students’....

(I suspect this is the REAL reason for ‘grievance studies’... ‘rich daddy’ loser kids can get a degree without having think or make effort.)

Anyone still impressed with Harvard and their pay to play ethics?

Lowell ... sought to cap the number of Jewish students at the university.

Isn't this routinely done under the guise of Affirmative Action?
