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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. “Throughout life there are a number of obstacles one
must overcome to achieve their goals. These goals are
never met however, without the mindset and confidence
to succeed, as well as the passion it takes to dedicate so
much to the pursuit of that success. But the struggles that
are endured along the way are usually worth the invested
time and work that it took to reach those goals because in
the end you have something to be proud of knowing that
you earned what you were after.”

4. This picture is from our first show at Club Alouette. There
wasn’t much of a turnout, but if it weren’t for these guys I
don’t know where I’d be. I was the last member to join our
band; Kick on the Ape, but being in an actual band has
brought me places I couldn’t go without the rest of the
members. Having other people to practice with, share ideas
with, and get constructive criticism from has made not only
me a better musician, but all of us as a whole. Without the
freedom and openness that we have to make suggestions to
each other, we wouldn’t have made some of the music that
I’m very proud to say we’ve written. These guys are like my
brothers and I can rely on them to be straight with me
when it comes to making our music sound the best that it
can.
5.
6. For the longest time I refused to learn to read sheet music
because it seemed like a lot of work for the same thing that
tab music can do, but being able to read sheet music is
defiantly one of the best skills to have when you’re a
musician. Some people can only read tabs or rely on
memorization to get them by. When you take the time to
learn to read sheet music, it gives you the skill to sight
read, meaning that you can read and play any piece of
music you put in front of me, even if I’ve never heard it
before. Along with learning to read music comes music
theory, the structure of how all music works. Theory is also
an essential part of being a great musician. Knowing how
to play is one thing, but knowing why you play what you
play is even better. Music theory gives you the
understanding of how a piece was written and when you
put theory together with reading, it opens up a new world
of opportunity by giving you the skills to improvise, change
keys or transposition.

8. “Music is also always there to comfort me; it’s what’s
keeping my mind from going to waste, and possibly my
life too. I’d take the ability to be able to provide people
with the joys of music over wealth any day. The feeling of
appreciation for the pieces I write is like no other, and it
defiantly makes it worth all the hours I’ve spent
perfecting my art.”
9. Every person has their sanctuary where they go to get away
from the world. Some people like to read, some people like
to play games, but when I want to get away from everyone
and everything, I like to jam. Having an area dedicated to
just my instruments and playing music has made me a
much better performer. There’s no TV in this room, and no
computer or phone either. When I come to jam, there can’t
be any distractions or else I’m not giving my full attention
to practicing and getting better. (And I get distracted easy).
And if I’m not giving it my all, then it’s wasted time. No
body likes a sloppy player, and the goal is to always keep
improving. When I step into the jam space, the cell phone
goes off, I tune the world out and I turn my amp up.
10.
11. “From the first day I picked up my guitar I knew that
music was going to be a significant part of my life, and I
also knew that it wasn’t going to be easy to go from
completely inexperienced to being in a band that plays
shows. But in order to come as far as I have, I’ve kept a
positive mindset. I have learned songs where I’ve made
mistakes or been unable to play a certain piece, but
challenges like that are always going to arise along the
way. Being positive about using those setbacks as
learning opportunities is what keeps me motivated to
improve.”
12. In my opinion, being able to play percussion is the hardest
of many instruments. To be able to fully harness the full
potential of a drum kit is not an easy skill to learn. While
playing drums you are constantly counting bars, beats and
phrases to keep time, which can become very tedious for
you, and the whole band if you miss one beat or come in
too late. Playing percussion also requires you to separate
each of your limbs to play on their own, which is probably
the hardest part of drumming. When I play I always want
my right hand or foot to do the same as my left, or vice
versa. Currently, I’m a very amateur drummer, but I see a
new instrument as a challenge to overcome, and learning to
drum is by far the hardest obstacle I’ve had to face, but
once I get my bearings on percussion it will be the fourth
instrument that I have learned to play.

14. This photo is from when my band played our second show
at a place called Hardcore Church. We got the invitation to
play this show from my friend who was also performing
that night, and we took the opportunity even though we’re
not a hardcore band. There were about 70 people at this
show, and when it came time for my band to play, it ended
up with only about 15 people in front of the stage, and the
rest decided they’d rather be outside smoking. Even though
we barely had an audience, we still played a hell of a
set, also considering that my lowest string snapped even
before we started. We didn’t belong there, we didn’t have
many fans, but we were determined to play our best, and
that’s what being a performer is about. You have to have the
determination and self-motivation to keep moving forward
and persevere through the bad times, because even if that
show sucked, you can only get better from there.
15. “Being a performing musician has certainly taken a lot of
dedication, but the years, the cost and the effort couldn’t
even begin to match the level of passion I have to
continue to pursue to be a better performer and to
always keep improving. There are always going to be
obstacles that I will have to face along the way, but
overcoming them is what proves that I am always
improving, and everything I’ve put into getting that far
are well worth it.”
