Today YALE is at Princeton. I wonder what the "Bones" men are doing to celebrate the season's great football match. My Uncle Frank used to go to every game, on the Princeton side of course. What a game when he had two sons, one at Princeton, and one at Yale. David at Yale was on the fencing team, but his career abrupted terminated in his junior year in a car crash with other Yalies...Uncle Frank continued to take down every football ever played by Princeton, in a little notebook the size of your palm. It was a long time since he had been in Europe with Patten, planning the Battle of the Bulge. And he never missed a game. Perhaps Uncle Frank is there today with his little black book jotting down each play... That's Yale, and that's Princeton to me today. Those Yalies in Coxe cage keeping warm. A flyer sent to all Yale alumni reads, "Bring your lunch; we supply soup, bread & beverages (wine, beer, soft drinks, coffee/tea). In a rush? We can also supply a deluxe box lunch...Warm up after the game with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate before heading home!" There is nothing like Ivy League fraternity. My father did Cornell, my sister's brother did Harvard, Uncle John, and so did young John, a lawyer now with Motorola. But Yale is going to beat them all this year, with its Events celebrating the TERCENTENNIAL OF YALE UNIVERSITY, 1701 to 2001. Its a major event and you should know about it too. Last summer I received a flyer from YALE, from the Nathan Hale Associates. I had never known about this group before. It went into the file drawer with other promotional junk mail, rather discourteous on my part even if it does sollicite scarce funds. "As a leader among Yale alumni, you may already havae received an appeal for an annual gift from your classmates..." Nathan Hale has always meant something to me, as a Connecticut boy, having spent my younger life on the southern Connecticut shore. Nathan Hale is a hero to all buffs of American history, my strongest subject in the elitist private school I attended when my father pulled me out of the public school system "to straighten up and fly right". I think my lowest score in history was a 98 of 100. American history and its heros kept adolescence already in turbulence by the Vietnam War spellbound and mystified. A year ago last summer I returned to Yale with my 14 year old son to tour the torn up renovated grounds. A work crew successfully banished us from the pits of Freshman Commons but not before my son and I touched affectionately the lonely statue of Nathan Hale, standing under the second floor window where I had first studied some twenty years ago Hegel and Kant, with Stephan Korner, the European philosopher. And, naturally, Edmund Husserl who in the 1920s sought to unravel the several interwoven paths which led him the central insight of his transcendental philosophy. 'A science of science is necessarily a science of spirit (Geisteswissenschaft). And driving through Connecticut 's lush back river country, by Lyme and Hamden, there is the little Nathan Hale schoolhouse, barely visible from the road. My son and I passed that too, and I was secretly thrilled but consciously knowing why. And now I read about the The Nathan Hale Associates Program. To join, John J Lee, Jr ('58, '59 M. Eng. Chairman) the University urges Yalies to "join a proud tradition almost 300 years old and a distingusihed group of contributors willing to support and encourage excellence". No wonder my very good and brillant friend, at Yale, Varsity Crew for three years, of solid New England stock, refused to check off the last credit necessarily to graduate and receive his diploma, just to avoid this fate. There are several membership categories "to provide the very best opportunities in higher education": The President's Council ($15,000 and above), Sterling Associate '$10 000 - $14,999), Harkness Associate (Standard oil) $5,000 -9,999), Elihu Yale Associate ($1,701 to $4,999), Woosley Associate (any relation tothe former CIA chief, check that out in Bones) at $ 1000 to $1700, and for the paupers, the right to call themselves, and be honored on the list as "Alumni Fund Associate at a donation of $500 -$999. The brochure describes NATHAN HALE: "Nathan Hale was born in Coventry, Connecticut on June 6, 1755. At the age of fourteen he entered the Yale Class of 1773. He served as a soldier in Cambridge, New York and New London and efventually volunteered to be a spy under General Washington's direction. Disguised as a schoolmaster, he found his way into the British camps in Brooklyn and New York. He was recognized and arrested while attemped to return. His papers were found in his shoes -- among them his Yale diploma. (that was dumb!) He was executed on September 22, 1776, at the age of 21. His last words were: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." I always thought it was "to give to my country", but who am I now to challenge Yale... Perhaps I dont have to tell you all this and you can go to www.yale.edu/yale300 and find it yourself. Try it. But it gets better. About the TERCENTENNIAL OF YALE UNIVERSITY, 1701 to 2001, Yale is promoting a major revival of Yale and American culture, and says it is "more than an important milestone or an ocassion for self-congratualtory celebration. it should be used for serious scholoarly reflection about the institution's progress in the past century, its place in higher education, and its contribution to society". Check it out. I strongly think that this is an ocassion for the CIA DRUGS group and others to target Yale for its contributions, and inform Yale students and the world community about the secret untold truths about Yale and its "enduring values". Why not write to Richard C. Levin, President of Yale University, about the deception and illusory nature of its lecture program, a forum for lies and propaganda most certainly which clash with the bold truth about Yale and its proud tradition. The opening of the TERCENTENNIAL OF YALE UNIVERSITY, 1701 to 2001, was only a few weeks ago, last Oct 21. Did you know that Jodie Foster ('85) and Meryl STreep ('75) are part of the package of entertainement? You can even go to Yale and see the latest private MELLON ('29) paintings by Chubb, his favorite painter... I particulary think the lecture series "William Clyde Devane " starting January shall be most interesting, and open to the public, and borrows "their titel froma calssic by Walt Whitman, in which he suggested that the dignity and potential of the individual are well worth the sense of chaos at times associated with democracy". (What a way to trash Walt!) check it out: lecture titles include "The Democratic Soul", "Paradoxes of Mind and Socity, The Bounded Nature of Cognition and the Unbounded Possibiliteis for american Democracy", "Is the Revolution Over", "Democracy and the Market", "Neither Capitalist nor American, The Democracy as Social Movement", "Democracy and Distribution", ah, and this is a good one: "Democarcy and the Family, a Stanley WOODWARD Professor of History and American Studies professor; and the Robert A LOVETT Professor of History lecture, "Democracy and Foreign Policy". James SCOTT (its got to be the same James Scott, of the Asia Council at Yale, and in the George Soros circle on Burma, in the magazine Burma Debate) is going to give the April 24, 2001 lecture Is Scott CIA?. Scott is giving the lecture "Meritcracy and Democracy", a Eugene MEYER Professor of Science and Professor of Anthropolgy. (Could be two James Scotts of the same name...) That lecture is April 24 and April 26. There is more to tell you but let me leave you now with one last item for reflection. This TERCENTENNIAL OF YALE UNIVERSITY, 1701 to 2001 is also spot lighting euphemistically the "Centennial Celebration of the Yale-China Association", in May. It states in the brochure : "Yale's relationship with China is the University's oldest sustained international tie. Throughout the 19th century, numerous Yale graduates served in China as teachers and missionaries, and the University welcomed students from China, including Yung Wing ('54), the first person from China to graduate from an American university. The Tercentennial coincides with Yale-China's centennial. The highlight of the year long program is the celebration on May 10 in Changsha, where Yale China's work abraod began and wher the middle school, hospital and medical college established by Yale-China are still thriving. And one last thing, William Sloane Coffin Jr (Bones tapped by Buckley) is speaking publicly for all at thte MAY 13 2001 Tercentennial Preachers Series. Well, with all the lies and manipulation of this outrageous historical revision to manipulate the minds into a phenomenolgical nightmare, lets honor Hale and Whitmann by making the truth known. If they are going to push lies, lets give them the TRUTH! dawn star* YALE Class '76 -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> <FONT COLOR="#000099">eGroups eLerts It's Easy.
