[Belmont Club] Belmont Club » Mystery in the desert: Now, of course, some of Samet’s students, and some of her colleagues, have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, and two of her colleagues have died in Iraq, because most professors of literature at West Point appear to be serving officers who rotate between teaching and other duties. I suspect that this may be a more jarring revelation than would once have been the case: John Maynard Keynes, at one time the bursar of a Cambridge college where I was several times a temporary member of High Table, argued against professionalizing the post he then held, asserting that it was “much easier to make a Bursar of a Fellow than a Fellow of a Bursar.” Maybe so, but on the strength of the available evidence I have the uneasy suspicion that it may also be easier to make a professor of an infantryman than it would be to nowadays work the reverse transformation.

[Right Web] Right Web | Profile | Donald Kagan: He has been notably vocal about his dislike of multiculturalism and his insistence that Western Civilization must form the core of undergraduate education. (He is a coauthor of the widely used Western Civ textbook The Western Heritage, which has gone through six printings since its initial publication in 1979.) Among the disputes Kagan has gotten into at Yale include his 1992 resignation from his post as Dean of Yale College over an administration plan to restructure the faculty, and his involvement in the 1995 Bass scandal, in which the university was forced to return a $20 million gift from right-wing billionaire alumnus Lee Bass that was to be used to set up a Western Civ program (Yale Alumni Magazine, April 2002).
