Thread: Woodrow Wilson Airbrushed From Princeton Club

Woodrow Wilson Airbrushed From Princeton Club

The tony clubhouse reserved for the alumni of Princeton University has erased the name of one of its most notable alumni from its Manhattan dining room, Heat Street reports.

The Woodrow Wilson Room is now “Nassau 1756,” as the Princeton Club no longer acknowledges the life and work of President Woodrow Wilson after being deemed a “white supremacist.”

If you dined at the club over Christmas, you would have have recognized the name. The restaurant was closed during January and February — for renovations — and when it reopened at he end of March, it had been rechristened.

It was the very least that Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson detractors could do.

For more than a year, the Princeton students, faculty and alumni have tried — unsuccessfully so far — to also erase Wilson’s name from the school’s internationally-famous international affairs school.

Wilson’s name was first deleted from the Princeton Club’s website and then literally removed from the restaurant.

Nassau 1756, the new name, is a reference to the year that Princeton moved to its current location.

Wilson, a Democrat, was president of the United States from 1913 to 1921, which included the years of the First World War. He was not only a Princeton alumni but also president of the university for eight years.

But though he brought America into the war, envisioned and campaigned for the League of Nations, and supported liberal economic policies, his record on civil rights does not meet current progressive standards and left-leaning academia has disowned his memory.

Wilson detractors have sought to excise Wilson’s memory from Princeton for years, but the success earlier this year of Yale activists to remove the memory of John C. Calhoun from its Calhoun College emboldened their efforts. Calhoun, though undeniably a huge historical presence in the the Antebellum era, was a slaveholder and the architect of states’ rights.

Wilson was described in a letter to Princeton president Christopher Eisgruber as one in a series of “White supremacists who paved the way for Trump.”

Wilson was undoubtedly a supporter of Jim Crow racial segregation — which he enforced in the White House — and spoke favourably of the Ku Klux Klan.

Princeton’s trustees have so far resisted campus protests to airbrush Wilson from the university’s history, responding to activist demands with the following statement: “The question of Wilson’s legacy has been fully addressed by the trustees and will not be reopened.”

Is racial unrest all that they are teaching these days at Ivy League schools? Not a very well rounded education for all that money. Lets cut off the grants.....

I actually applaud this decision by the Princeton Club. Woodrow Wilson was not only a white supremacist, he was a Globalist. He's responsible for the income tax, he's responsible for free trade treason, he's responsible for the "charity" frauds, he's responsible for the Federal Reserve, and yes, he's even responsible for the initial War on Drugs.

All the problems that have bankrupted our nation 104 years later began in 1913with Woodrow Wilson and his DemoQuack Congress. All the problems I mention above were ordered and legislated in 1913 by Democrat, President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat US House of Representatives, a Democrat US Senate, and a majority of Democrat States. It was the beginning of the end of the United States.

In 1913:

1. United States Revenue Act of 1913 (the income tax), also known as the Tariff Act, the Underwood Act, and the Underwood-Simmons Act of 1913 that imposed a 1% income tax and simultaneously reduced 40% tariffs to 25% using the income tax to make up for the loss of tariff revenue.

2. Passed and ratified the 16th Amendment to enable 1. above

3. Passed the Federal Reserve Act that created the Federal Reserve central banking system.

4. Passed the Pure Food and Drug Act that began the War on Drugs.

Today, income taxes are 40%, tariffs are 0%, Americans owe public debt of over $20 trillion and arrest over 1.5 million people a year on non-violent drug offenses.

1913 was a year of infamy because it was the year the Founder's America .... died.

But Trump is here to fix it. He's going to turn this all around and make America the country of successful citizens it was founded to be.

So, Princeton Club, keep doing your research and learning, and give some thought to the other important reasons why Woodrow Wilson should be scrubbed from your walls.

CASH COW: Ivy League schools collect more in taxpayer funds than tuition, watchdog finds

JENNIFER KABBANY - FIX EDITOR •
MARCH 31, 2017

A nonprofit government watchdog group has determined that the nation’s eight Ivy League universities in recent years have taken in more money in taxpayer-funded government support than undergraduate student tuition.

The 48-page report points out that in monetary terms, the “government contracting business of the Ivy League” took in $25 billion in federal contracts and grants for the 2010 through 2015 fiscal years — exceeding the $22 billion in undergrad student tuition during that same time frame.

Open The Books, in their report released this week, also found that between the 2010 and 2015 fiscal years, Ivy League government payments and entitlements overall cost taxpayers nearly $42 billion.

This support comes despite the fact that the schools sit on endowments that exceed $119 billion, equivalent to nearly $2 million per undergraduate student, according to a news release from the group.

Other key findings, according to Open The Books:

Ivy League payments and entitlements cost taxpayers $41.59 billion over a six-year period (FY2010-FY2015). This is equivalent to $120,000 in government monies, subsidies, & special tax treatment per undergraduate student, or $6.93 billion per year.

The eight colleges of the Ivy League received more money ($4.31 billion) – on average – annually from the federal government than sixteen states (see image at left).
As a non-profit, educational institution, the Ivy League pays no tax on investment gains. Between FY2011-FY2015, the Ivy League schools received a $9.6 billion tax break on the $27.3 billion growth of their endowment funds. In FY2014, the tax-free subsidy on endowment gains amounted to $3.4 billion, or nearly $60,000 per student
.
In FY2014, the balance sheet for all Ivy League colleges showed $194,332,115,120 in accumulated gross assets. This is equivalent to $3.35 million per undergraduate student.

The Ivy League employs 47 administrators who each earn more than $1 million per year. Two executives each earned $20 million between 2010-2014. Ivy League employees earned $62 billion in compensation.

The eight schools considered the Ivy League are: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale universities as well as Dartmouth College and the University of Pennsylvania.

“The Ivy League needs to pay its own way,” Adam Andrzejewski, founder of Open the Books, told Fox News. “The taxpayer gravy train needs to end.”

“They have got an endowment, right?” he added. “They can use their endowed funds – they don’t need public funds – to fund studies.”

In statements to Fox News, some Ivy League spokespeople suggested the report has flaws because it did not take into account reinvestments, and that tax incentives fund libraries, laboratories, classrooms, research and financial aid, and that the schools do use their endowments to fund a lot of research.

Harvard Got $5.6M in Federal Student Loans and Grants--Despite Its $31.7B Tax-Exempt Endowment

By Terence P. Jeffrey | April 30, 2012 | 4:52 PM EDT

(CNSNews.com) - In fiscal year 2011, Harvard University’s tax-exempt endowment jumped in value by about $4.17 billion, rising from $27,557,404,000 to $31,728,080,000--but that did not stop Harvard from collecting tuition and fees derived from federal grants and student loans that U.S. taxpayers provided to Harvard undergraduates.

Other universities with major endowments--including Yale and Princeton (from which the author of this article graduated)--also saw massive increases in their endowments and they also benefited from their students paying tuition and fees with federal grants and loans.

In the 2009-2010 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Education, Harvard undergraduates received $4,093,140 in federal Pell Grants and $1,467,017 in federal student loans.
This total of $5,560,157 in grants and loans that federal taxpayers provided to Harvard undergraduates in the 2009-2010 school year equaled only about 0.13 percent of the $4.17 billion that Harvard’s endowment increased last year.

Had Harvard settled for an increase in its endowment of only $4,165,115,843--instead of $4,170,676,000--it could have covered the entire cost of all the federal loans and grants that the taxpayers provided to its students in the 2009-2010 school year.

In that case, Harvard’s endowment would have increased from $27,557,404,000 to only $31,722,519,843—instead of the full $31,728,080,000 it achieved.

The full cost for tuition, fees and other expenses for an undergraduate at Harvard was $53,950 in the 2010-2011 school year, according to the Department of Education.

According to the National Association of College and University Business Officers, Harvard has the largest tax-exempt endowment of any university in the country. However, as noted, other schools with large tax-exempt endowments also benefited from student loans and Pell Grants that federal taxpayers provided to their students. (See below for a list of the schools with the 10 largest tax-exempt endowments in the country and the federal student loans and grants the students at these schools received.)

For example, Yale’s endowment increased by $2.72 billion in fiscal 2011—rising from $19,374,000,000 to $16,652,000,000. But in the 2009-2010 school year, Yale students received $2,339,738 in federal student loans and $2,894,874 in Pell Grants.

The full cost of Yale was $55,300 in the 2010-2011 school year, according to the Department of Education.

Princeton’s endowment also increased by $2.72 billion in fiscal 2011—rising from $14,391,450,000 to $17,109,508,000. But in the 2009-2010 school year, Princeton students received $1,481,743 in federal student loans and $2,183,620 in Pell Grants.

The full cost of Princeton was $52,715 in the 2010-2011 school year.

At $17.15 billion, the endowment of the University of Texas is the largest endowment of any state university in the United States. In fiscal 2011, Texas's endowment grew by about $3.1 billion. Yet, undergraduates at the University of Texas received $111,326,690 in federal student loans in the 2009-2010 school year and $42,244,758 in Pell Grants.

The full on-campus cost for an in-state student at the University of Texas was $24,026 in 2010-2011 school year.

Speaking at the University of Iowa last week, President Barack Obama said that imposing higher tax rates on “the wealthiest Americans” so, among other things, low interest rates can be maintained on federal student loans is not “about class warfare.”

“How can we want to maintain tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, who don't need them and weren't even asking for them? I don't need one,” Obama told the students. “I needed help back when I was your age. I don't need help now. I don't need an extra thousand dollars or $3,000; you do.”

“This isn't about class warfare,” Obama said. “We want every American to succeed. That's the point.”

According to President Obama's budget proposal for the U.S. Department of Education, the federal government will provide about $22.8 billion in Pell Grants in this fiscal year, and make about $176.3 billion in direct student loans.

Below is a list of the universities with the 10 largest endowments. The list includes the name of the school, the size of the endowment at he end of fiscal 2011 (June 30, 2011), the size of the endowment at the end of fiscal 2010 (June 30, 2010), the percent increase in the endowment from fiscal 2010 to fiscal 2011, and the amount its students received in federal student loans and Pell Grants in school year 2009-2010.

The source for the student loan and Pell Grant numbers is the U.S. Department of Education.)

Yep, just all part of the 501 C 3 "charity" fraud that's bankrupting this country almost as fast as 30 million illegal aliens.

Figures that you would. Our history is our history, good or bad. It shouldn't be changed to appease the snowflakes or those that find shame in it. Next thing you know they'll want to rename Boone, N.C., because Daniel Boone killed too many Shawnee or made a cap out of a raccoon's hide.

Our country's history and historic figures that helped shape it shouldn't be eliminated simply because some, or even all, disapprove of their past actions. History is not good or bad, it's just our past and we need to accept it for what it is.

Woodrow Wilson: Accomplishments, Failures That Shaped President's Legacy

During his two terms in office from 1913-21, President Woodrow Wilson had many significant accomplishments and failures, presiding over a time of sweeping progressive changes and war.

Some of his notable successes included the ratification of the 17th Amendment, which gave power to the people in their respective states to elect their senators. They had previously been selected by state legislatures, as spelled out in Constitution.

Wilson tackled three primary reforms on business, tariffs, and banking, as he had promised during his 1912 run for president. These became known as the "New Freedom." The fruits of those efforts were the passage of the Federal Trade Act, the Underwood Tariff Act, and the creation of the Federal Reserve System, which created a U.S. central banking system and allowed the government to issue Federal Reserve Notes as legal tender.

Mother's Day became a national holiday in May 1914, after the U.S. Congress passed a law declaring the second Sunday in May as the special day. The next day, Wilson issued an edict for the first national Mother's Day.

In his second term, Wilson paved the way for social reforms. These included the passage of the 18th constitutional amendment, which began a 14-year period from 1920-33 that prohibited the manufacture, storage, transportation, and sale of alcohol, known as Prohibition. He actually attempted to veto the Act, but was overruled by Congress.

He also signed the 19th amendment that granted women the right to vote, and supported immigration rights. To that end, he vetoed a law that required a literacy test for immigrants and banned certain Asiatic workers. He was again overruled by Congress via a two-thirds majority.

Other legislative victories included the establishment of a Federal Trade Commission to stop unfair business practices. Another prohibited child labor and yet another specified that railroad workers work no more than eight hours a day.

Those accomplishments, plus the slogan "he kept us out of war," earned Wilson a narrow re-election, but he wasn't able to keep that promise. He concluded that America could no longer stay neutral and asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany.

America's entrance into World War I gradually turned the tide for the Allies. Wilson appeared before Congress in January 1918 to lay out his 14 Points, the last of which would establish "a general association of nations ... affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike," according to WhiteHouse.gov.

The Germans signed the Armistice in November 1918, and Wilson travelled to Paris in hopes of forging a lasting peace. Unfortunately for Wilson, the 1918 election had given Republicans control of Congress. The Versailles Treaty failed in the Senate by seven votes.
