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.

Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION (By Annalisa Garofalo)
BLAKE(By M. Elena Mármol Rodríguez )
WORDSWORTH AND HIS VISION OF NATURE (BY ARANTXA)
First of all I would like to say that “Nature” has taken an important role in
poetry of different periods of literature and countries. Nature is present not only
in English literature but also in French and Spanish poets such as Garcilaso de
la Vega and Émile Zola. But I would like to focus my attention in Wordsworth
treatment of this topic and the romantic vision of nature.
Secondly, I am going to enumerate some characteristics that have
something to do with the romantic‟s vision of nature and Wordsworth own
perception.
Romanticism is a general, collective term to describe much of the art and
literature produced during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Romanticism can be seen as a revolution in the arts, alongside the
political, social and industrial revolutions of the age: all spheres of human
activity were undergoing great change. Wordsworth and Coleridge were among
the first British poets to explore the new theories and ideas that were sweeping
2. through Europe. Their poems display many characteristics of Romanticism,
including:
1-An emphasis on the emotions (a fashionable word at the beginning of
the period was „sensibility‟. This meant having, or cultivating, a sensitive,
emotional and intuitive way of understanding the world)
2-Exploring the relationship between nature and human life
3-A stress on the importance of personal experiences and a desire to
understand what influences the human mind
4-A belief in the power of the imagination
5-An interest in mythological, fantastical, gothic and supernatural themes
6-An emphasis on the sublime (this word was used to describe a spiritual
awareness, which could be stimulated by a grand and awesome landscape)
7-Social and political idealism.
(c.f.http://www.wordsworth.org.uk/Default.asp?Page=119
)
We can say that “nature” is always present (sometimes meaning
something different depending on the poem) in Wordsworth poetry and it is the
main theme in most of his poems. Furthermore, I would like to say what this
poet thought about this topic.
William Wordsworth is the Romantic poet most often described as a
"nature" writer; what the word "nature" meant to Wordsworth is, however, a
3. complex issue. On the one hand, Wordsworth was the quintessential poet as
naturalist, always paying close attention to details of the physical environment
around him (plants, animals, geography, weather). At the same time,
Wordsworth was a self-consciously literary artist who described "the mind of
man" as the "main haunt and region of [his] song." This tension between
objective describer of the natural scene and subjective shaper of sensory
experience is partly the result of Wordsworth's view of the mind as "creator and
receiver both." Such an alliance of the inner life with the outer world is at the
heart of Wordsworth's descriptions of nature.
(c.f. http://users.dickinson.edu/~nicholsa/Romnat/wordsworth.htm )
With regard to his poems, we can say that all of them deal, in
some way, with nature. And this is what we are going to see now.
For example:
The presence of water in those poems where the sea appears, such as “
Lines written near Richmond upon the Thames, at evening” when Wordsworth
says:
Oh glide, fair stream! for ever so;
Thy quiet soul on all bestowing,
Till all our minds for ever flow,
As thy deep waters now are flowing.
4. In this poem, appears a very huge ocean, and that ocean‟s majesty and
greatness still controls the individual and the species.
Another example would be “Lines written a few miles above Tintern
Abbey”:
How oft, in spirit, have I turned to thee o Sylvan Wye!
Thou wanderer through the woods,
How often has my spirit turned to thee!
Here, that deep blue sea or that river, show us that water which is
apparently calm, can change into huge strength waves and that would produce
some inspiration in the poet that would change his feelings.
We can also find “nature” in his poem named “The Excursion” where he
defends the nature‟s contemplation to achieve the moral knowledge.
(c.f. Corugedo y chamosa, 11, 12 and 13)
I have written all these examples because I think that it is interesting to
see how Wordsworth saw nature in some of his poems as we can say that
nature is his main topic and this theme takes a very important role in all his
works. However, I would like to focus my attention on the poem called “Lines
written in early spring”, also written by Wordsworth, where we can find a lot of
examples of nature. It mainly talks about this topic.
Lines Written In Early Spring
I heard a thousand blended notes,
5. While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And 'tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure: --
But the least motion which they made,
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
6. The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature's holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
(c.f.http://quotations.about.com/od/poemlyrics/a/wordsworth17.htm )
"Lines Written In Early Spring" is a classic Wordsworth poem. Basically, it
expresses his love of simplicity, tenderness and love of nature.
In this poem, Wordsworth contrasts the perceived happiness and
pleasure of the natural world with the grim state of mankind. He introduces this
theme with the last two lines of the first stanza: "In that sweet mood when
pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind."
Wordsworth then suggests that the happiness of nature should be
paralelled by a hapiness of mankind: "To her fair works did nature link the
7. human soul that through me ran; And much it greaves my heart to think what
man has made of man."
(c.f.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WrittenEarlySpringWilliam/xm
n/Post.htm )
This poem is mainly talking about nature in a very positive way. It really
recreates a spring atmosphere because he says “and „tis my faith that every
flower”(line 11) or “the birds around me hopp‟d and play‟d”(line 13). What he is
describing in this examples is very much related with that season( the spring).
It makes you feel very calm and relaxed because he describes that
season with harmonious adjectives and tenderness. We can also see that calm
in lines 17, 18, 19 and 20) where he says “the budding twigs spread out their
fan, to catch the breezy air, and I must think, do all I can, that there was
pleasure there”. Here he also recreates that feeling of breathing pure air,
because it has always been said that when you are close to nature, the air is
not polluted so it is more pure and there are not difficulties for breathing. So,
here he is saying that he was lying in a tree seeing the lovely nature and
breathing that pure air that nature brings him.
I think that in this poem, nature has a very important role and, although for Wordsworth,
nature had different meanings depending on the poem he is talking about, in this one
we can easily see that nature is here described as that sensation of calm, of being in
harmony and seeing birds playing or leaves flourishing and breathing. So, we must say
that this poem is a very good example of Wordsworth view of nature.
