Swarth2.jpg The school has a distinctive ' Jewish quality' with a heavy sprinkling of Professors and courses.

No doubt the Dean could have done without Mr Earley and his vocal arguements about draft dodging from Swartmouth alumni.

Richard Earley attends a  speech by Carol Swain at Swarthmore College and disrupted the atmosphere somewhat.  He brazenly called Jews of America "cowards" and dishonorable.  Astonishingly he received no catcalls.  

Earley pointed out that Swarthmore College was founded in 1863, the year of Gettysburg, and that students of that institution cared far more for evading wars and having others shoulder the burdens and dangers.  Still no catcalls. 

He invited myself to speak at both Swarthmore and Vanderbilt where Swain teaches.   Two black women, both professors, and a young Chinese women, likewise, did not seem fazed at my utterances.  Let's all wish him luck.

His next stop is a debate with Larry Summers - the Jewish head of Harvard.
