June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

15 - Non-Defining Relative Clauses
1. Instituto de Estudios Superiores Belén
PROFESORADO EN INGLÉS
Gramática Inglesa II
1
NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
Look at the difference between these two sentences:
1 - The boy who lives next door is having a party tonight.
The underlined clause is a defining relative clause. It tells us which boy is being
talked about. There are no commas before and after a defining relative clause.
2 - Darren, who lives next door, is having a party tonight.
The underlined clause is a non-defining relative clause. It does not tell us which boy
we are talking about; we already know that from the name. It gives us extra information
about Darren.
A non-defining relative clause in the middle of a sentence has a comma before and
after it. A non-defining relative clause at the end of a sentence has a comma before it and a
full stop at the end.
SUBJECT RELATIVE PRONOUNS:
This is my friend Jane, WHO has just returned from Italy.
The relative pronoun who refers to Jane and it functions as the subject of the verb
has ... returned in the relative clause.
Mike's car, WHICH is only six months old, broke down last night.
The relative pronoun which refers to Mike's car and it functions as the subject of the
verb is in the relative clause.
OBJECT RELATIVE PRONOUNS:
The woman next door, WHO/WHOM I met for the first time last week, is
moving next month.
Who or whom refer to the woman next door and function as the object of the verb
met in the relative clause.
Whom is more formal and is generally used in formal written English. Who is more
common in spoken English.
2. Instituto de Estudios Superiores Belén
PROFESORADO EN INGLÉS
Gramática Inglesa II
2
Unlike the object relative pronoun in defining relative clauses, the object relative
pronoun in non-defining relative clauses cannot be omitted.
That book about the First World War, WHICH I finished last week, was
really interesting.
Which refers to that book about the First World War and functions as the object of
the verb finished in the relative clause. We cannot omit it.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS – OBJECT OF A PREPOSITION:
A) - Marjorie Campbell, WHO/WHOM we have all depended on so much,
has just announced her retirement.
B) - Marjorie Campbell, on WHOM we have all depended so much, has just
announced her retirement.
Who or whom in sentence A) - and whom in sentence B) - refer to Marjorie
Campbell and function as the object of the preposition on.
a) The new pedestrian crossings, WHICH there has been much discussion
about, are going to be in use from the beginning of next month.
b) The new pedestrian crossings, about WHICH there has been much
discussion, are going to be in use from the beginning of next month.
Which refers to the new pedestrian crossings and functions as the object of the
preposition about.
NOTES:
1 - POSITION OF PREPOSITION:
In the A) - sentences, the preposition comes at the end of the relative clause.
This is less formal and is becoming more common.
In the B) - sentences, the preposition comes before the relative pronoun.
This word order is used in more formal written English.
Who or whom?: When the preposition comes before the relative pronoun, it
is only possible to use whom for people. When the preposition comes at the
end of the relative clause, it is possible to use who or whom.
2 - POSSESSIVE RELATIVE PRONOUN:
Amanda Lovelace, WHOSE husband died last year, has now lost her job.
3. Instituto de Estudios Superiores Belén
PROFESORADO EN INGLÉS
Gramática Inglesa II

Whose refers to Amanda Lovelace. It is her husband who died. Whose husband
functions as the subject of the verb died.
This is our son John, WHOSE friends you will be meeting at the party later
on.
Whose refers to our son John. It is his friends you will be meeting. Whose friends
functions as the object of the verb will be meeting.
A) - We are hoping for a visit from Henry Webster, WHOSE support we
have so much depended on.
B) - We are hoping for a visit from Henry Webster, on WHOSE support we
have so much depended.
Whose support functions as the object of the preposition on. The preposition can
go at the end of the relative clause, or it can go before the relative pronoun, which is quite
formal. It is more common to put it at the end of the relative clause.
SUMMARY
For people For things For possession
Subject who which whose
Object who/whom which Whose
SPOKEN VERSUS WRITTEN ENGLISH:
Non-defining relative clauses which are in the middle of a sentence are quite formal
and are more commonly used in written English than in spoken English. In spoken English,
we usually prefer to use shorter sentences or to link clauses together with simple
conjugations.
For example, in written English, we may write:
Ann Roberts, whose first job was in this department, has just been
appointed Director.
but in spoken English, we are more likely to say something like:

Ann Roberts has just been appointed Director. Do you remember? Her first
job was here in this department.

DEFINING AND NON-DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
59 UNDERLINE ALL THE RELATIVE CLAUSES IN THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE
60 EXTRACT THE UNDERLINED RELATIVE CLAUSES AND ANALYSE THEM AS WE
HAVE DONE ON THE BLACKBOARD
POETRY AND THE WAR
ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY THINGS ABOUT THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAS THE ENTHUSIASM WITH
WHICH THE MAJORITY OF SOLDIERS WENT OFF TO FIGHT FOR THEIR COUNTRY. THOSE YOUNG, PATRIOTIC MEN,
WHO RUSHED TO THE ENLISTMENT CENTRES, HAD NO IDEA WHAT LAY AHEAD OF THEM. THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT
THEY WOULD LIVE FOR MONTHS IN HOLES THEY HAD DUG IN THE MUD. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE
LIKE TO WATCH A FRIEND WHO HAD BEEN HORRIBLY INJURED DIE A PAINFUL DEATH. AND SO THEY WERE EXCITED,
EVEN THRILLED, ABOUT THE PROSPECT OF GOING TO WAR.
THIS WAS THE FIRST WAR IN WHICH THE IMAGE-MAKERS MADE AN IMPACT. THERE WERE POSTERS WHICH
ASKED WOMEN TO ENCOURAGE THEIR MEN TO GO TO WAR: 'IF HE DOES NOT THINK THAT YOU AND YOUR COUNTRY
ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR - DO YOU THINK HE IS WORTHY OF YOU?'
THE MOOD WHICH SEIZED THE COUNTRY WAS ONE OF PATRIOTIC AND HEROIC STRUGGLE. AT THE SAME
TIME, IT WAS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WOULD ALL BE OVER IN A FEW MONTHS.
THE WAR FEVER WHICH GRIPPED THE NATION STIRRED UP THE EMOTIONS OF EVERYONE AND THERE WAS A
HUGE GROWTH IN THE WRITING OF POETRY. AT FIRST THE POEMS WERE PROUD AND OPTIMISTIC: 'NOW IN THY
SPLENDOUR GO BEFORE US SPIRIT OF ENGLAND', BUT AS THE WAR DRAGGED ON, THE WRITERS OF POETRY BECAME
ANGRY AT THE MYTHS THEY HAD BEEN TOLD. THEY WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT THE HORRIBLE REALITY OF
WAR, WHICH BRUTALIZED THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK PART.
ONE WRITER WHO PUT THESE FEELINGS INTO WORDS VERY EFFECTIVELY WAS WILFRID OWEN, WHO, IN
THE POEM “ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH”, WROTE 'WHAT PASSING BELLS FOR THESE WHO DIE AS CATTLE?' THE
POETRY OF WILFRID OWEN, SIEGFRIED SASSOON, ROBERT GRAVES AND OTHERS, WHICH DESCRIBED THE HORRIFIC
REALITY OF WAR, ALSO QUESTIONED ITS MORALITY. MANY OF THE POETS WERE WEALTHY, PRIVILEGED MEN WHO
HAD NOT AT FIRST BEEN ANTI-WAR, BUT WHOSE ATTITUDES WERE CHANGED BY WHAT THEY SAW.
