I'd just like to reply to the claim that a Hamilton College degree cannot be trusted and furthermore that the students are not rigorous workers.

I myself am a student on the dean's list at Hamilton College and would like to defend the institution. The righter of this comment must be unaware that in recent years, admission to the College has become more competitive. The school is ranked 19th among US Liberal Arts Schools by US News & World Report. Prior to attending Hamilton, I graduated from a nationally-recognized high school with an unweighted GPA of 3.98.

I was also admitted to several other similar liberal arts schools including Colgate, Middlebury, and Union Colleges. To insult the student body of Hamilton is to directly insult me, as a scholar. On behalf of the entire college, I urge you to recognize that this is an institution of higher learning, and that the school is growing in strength rather than declining.

"The righter of this comment"...
scholar eh?

So, what are your thoughts on Ward Churchill, as long as you're hanging around?

Welcome, scholar. Although, in the interests of full disclosure, I only went to Colgate.

Fortunately, though, when I went there, philosophy and logic were still required courses.

Please re-read your statement above, and if you are still prepared to defend it, explain why you are the embodiment of the Hamilton student body to such an extent that a comment about that collective should be recognized as an insult to you personally.

And oh, by the way -why are your fellow students supinely accepting a barking moonbat as President of the College? She is in a representative, or significatory, role vis-a-vis the College, and although she has associations and interests worse than an unrepentent Nazi, her tenure seems remarkably serene.

To coin a phrase, what's up with that?
