...ears, for their prophecies are factually flawed and intellectually incoherent. Europe is not going to “leave from history” anytime soon, pace Pope Benedict XVI’s warning, nor is it about to become part of dar al-Islam. At best, these apocalyptic visions reflect Burkean conservatism—unwarranted fear of change qua change—and, more often, they are motivated by simple xenophobia...
...hecklers and protesters at Mr. Mueller’s speech reflect a level of coarseness that I find disgusting in American discourse. Yes, these people have the right to be heard, to protest should they feel it necessary but not when it is Mr. Mueller’s turn to speak.

In addition, Schools would have discretion to decide whether and how to use the January time period to reflect their own academic needs.

But amid the frivolity of a two-story slide, a tire swing, and the strains of “Semi-Charmed Life,” we could not help but reflect that the College community would perhaps be better served by more frequent, but smaller events rather than the occasional pan-campus blowout. Events like Yardfest are effective at drawing a large part of the undergraduate population, but do little to spark new friendships and relationships based on common interests. The reputation...
