When I first saw this story, I thought maybe it was a hoax, or at least parody. But apparently it’s for real, or at least the campus newspaper The Spectator treats it as being real.
It’s about my alma mater, Hamilton College, which has seen its share of social justice activism in...
Hamilton College is acknowledging the hundredth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution with displays of crimson banners, books from International Publishers (a Communist organization), and visages of Lenin in the library.
What should be added is a rendering of a hand-less and toothless frozen corpse with the death certificate from 1939:
A group of students calling themselves The Movement issued a list of 83 Demands to the Hamilton College administration and trustees.
Among the list was that the next President of the college be a President of Color.
Not happening.
Last week, the group of Hamilton College activists known as “the Movement” released a lengthy list of demands to almost universal ridicule.
Few Hamilton students respect the Movement’s childish and arrogant calls for public apologies, special attention,...
My alma mater Hamilton College has been in turmoil for years.

There was some real angry ugliness at Brown University Tuesday night, as NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly was shouted down and his lecture shut down.
There has been celebration in some circles at Brown, but not from Biology Professor Ken Miller, a Brown grad himself.
Miller wrote a wonderful letter to the Brown...
On the surface, college dialogue seems to be all about ’open-mindedness’ and ‘tolerance.’
To create this impression of a tolerant environment, many universities have “speech codes” that penalize politically incorrect speech, sometimes with severe consequences.
For instance, Florida Atlantic University insists in vague terms that “every...
I graduated from Hamilton College in 1981.
This weekend is Homecoming. And as I understand it, there will be a meeting of the Board of Trustees.
I have no illusions that the Board of Trustees has the desire or ability to address Hamilton’s recent problems given the history of how politicized education has...

Last Monday I appeared as a guest of The Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization to give a talk at my alma mater, Hamilton College.
