Let AIPAC be informed about this news and they will be happy to quiz Harvard Universtiy about this anti-semitic trend.

Understanding the full story of this cerimony is urgent

Sometimes it's hard to pin the totalitarians in an old institution down to any particular motive. For example the United States Postal Service at DMM E211.3 (in the Domestic Mail Manual) still prohibits the use of Periodicals Rates by items reproduced by Hectograph.

This prohibition was first established by the last Postmaster General just before the beginning of the Civil War. He was a Southern advocate for slavery and sought to stop Abolitionists from using the mails to spread their story of freedom.

Hectograph was an inexpensive and quick way to produce their materials.

Over the years I have pointed this out to various Postmasters General (and the appropriate officers within the USPS) noting that at a minimum USPS should simply delete the provision since no one uses Hectograph anymore anyway.

Unfortunately there remain those within the bowels of USPS and on the Board of Governors who continue to hanker after the mores and standards of Old Dixie and they won't budge.

It's almost the reverse of the Harvard problem, but it stems from the same set of mind.

I think the writer should understand that most Yankees like Nazi's better than Johnny Reb.

In a world where adherents of a major fanatical faith are trying to kill every American, because we are Americans, it would seem the author could find something more constructive and less self-serving to devote his time to.

Just because a person can write in English, must they?

Given your impressive bio, wouldn't detecting domestic terrorists be useful?

Before the invasion of Poland, and even up to the invasion of France, Germany was seen as the ideal state by many in academe.

Eugenics was a popular movement, and the Nazi sterilization efforts where modeled on those in the US, but on a much bigger scale.

It is hard to understand now, but in the 30's many in the US looked at Hitler and wished America had a similar system.

That Harvard honors her German enemy alumni – but none of her American Confederates – is an outrage, particularly since archrival Yale honors its Confederate alumni.

I have a newfound respect for Yale.

Where did you get that map of islamic terrorists in US?

Judah P. Benjamin and John Calhoun went to Yale. More here

That's total bull crap. If anything, it's paranoid sectional fanatics like you who harbor irrational hate for people you identify as "Yankees."

Ruh..Roh!!

Those damn cats just won't stay in the bag will they?

What about neoconservative Yankees, the ones who are driving the GOP hierarchy's slow-walk away from the Southern strategy, the South, and congressional Southern conservative GOP'ers?

For elucidation, see Christopher Caldwell's 1998 Atlantic Monthly article, "The Southern Captivity of the GOP". Caldwell was at the time (and may still be) a writer for the Weekly Standard.

It has been opined by others who deem themselves in a position to know, that neoconservatives are unilaterally and cordially hostile to Southerners in general, and Jeffersonians in particular.

Years ago, toiling in a college library's stacks looking for support for a paper, I found some back issues of TIME and LIFE. One of them, from 1940 I think it was, had some coverage of the Harvard Nazi Club, which was described as one of the largest such clubs in the United States. Some of the club's activities were documented with photographs.

You confuse hate with dislike: Why should I welcome people who, clog our Texas freeways, b*tch and moan about our weather, and our people, and our food, and the list goes on.

My dad has a saying: A Yankee is someone from the north who comes for a short visit. A Damn Yankee is one that stays for longer than a month. a G*D-damn Yankee is one that won't leave :)
