“Imperial College London’s Cancel Campaign Against Its Own Founders”
Stephen Warren 21 Jan 2022
The connection with the Beit family and its financial generosity has continued almost unbroken since the founding of the College.
Imperial College London was founded in 1907. It is one of the top 20 universities in the world, and among the leading technical universities in Europe. Two individuals were central to its foundation.
The first is 19th-century English biologist Thomas Henry Huxley, who became known as “Darwin’s Bulldog” due to his singularly strenuous advocacy of Charles Darwin’s ideas. In South Kensington, he collected the pieces from which Imperial was later assembled: the Royal School of Mines, The Royal College of Science, and the City and Guilds of London Institute. Although he died before the creation of Imperial College, Huxley is described by his biographer Cyril Bibby as its “chief builder.”
The second main founder is Alfred Beit, a German Jew who made his fortune from diamond and gold mining in South Africa. Beit, who moved to London in 1889, was one of the first to see the desirability of creating a new science university in London to compete with developments in Germany. Together with his business associate Sir Julius Wernher, they provided the financial backing necessary to secure the construction of Imperial College. Beit died in 1906, a year before the opening, but the family connection was sustained through his brother Otto, who inherited part of Alfred’s fortune. In 1931, the Rector of Imperial College, Sir Henry Tizard, wrote in the journal Nature: “Practically the whole of the endowment of the College since its incorporation has been provided by Sir Julius Wernher, Mr Alfred Beit and Sir Otto Beit.”
Up to October 26th, 2021, when the Imperial History Group published a report aimed at examining “the history of the College through its links to the British Empire, and to report on the current understanding and reception of the College’s legacy and heritage in the context of its present-day mission,” Huxley had been revered by the College. (For example, it held a celebratory conference in 1995 on the centenary of his death.) The generosity of Alfred Beit, and the continuing generosity of the Beit family up to the present time, has been gratefully acknowledged at regular intervals, notably in 2007 by the Rector Sir Richard Sykes, when the College celebrated its own centenary. And yet, despite no new pertinent facts emerging, the History Group suddenly has proposed, among other things, that Imperial College disown its two main founders. Specifically, the report authors recommended that “the bust of Huxley should be moved from the building for preservation … and the building should be renamed,” and that “Beit Quad and Hall are renamed subject to consultation with students. The consultation should clarify the history and then gather and understand any strong objections. This is not intended to be a majority vote which is not always representative and inclusive.”
The final decision will be made by the President’s Board next month. The stakes are more than symbolic: A university that repudiates its founders raises the question of whether its fundamental purpose has changed.
However, the standout recommendations in the report may be described as negative: Huxley is charged with “scientific racism,” and espousing “a racial hierarchy of intelligence,” while Beit is denounced for “the treatment of workers during the expansion of the Kimberley mines [in South Africa].” Yet it is difficult to find the reason for the sudden change in the College’s attitude toward its founders.

Ezra Pound (born October 30, 1885, Hailey, Idaho, U.S.—died November 1, 1972, Venice, Italy) was an American poet and critic, a supremely discerning and energetic entrepreneur of the arts who did more than any other single figure to advance a “modern” movement in English and American literature. Pound promoted, and also occasionally helped to shape, the work of such widely different poets and novelists as William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, D.H. Lawrence, and T.S. Eliot. His pro-Fascist broadcasts in Italy during World War II led to his postwar arrest and confinement until 1958

Germany suspends Schengen, impacts on immigration to the entire EU

Schengen Area
The Schengen area (English: / ˈəən / SHENG-ən, Luxembourgish: [ˈˈæəən]) is a territory that includes 29 European countries that have officially abolished border controls at their mutual borders.
The German government announced plans to introduce stricter controls at all land borders of the country in order to combat irregular migration and protect the public from threats such as Islamist extremism.
Checks within a normally wide area of free movement - the European Schengen zone - will begin on Sept. 16 and will initially last six months, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Monday.
The government has also drafted a program that will allow the authorities to reject more migrants directly at the German borders, Faeser said, without adding details about the controversial and legally difficult step.
The restrictions are part of a series of measures taken by Germany to tighten its stance on irregular migration in recent years following a surge in arrivals, especially of people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East.
Recent deadly knife attacks, in which the suspects were asylum seekers, have stoked concerns about immigration. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for a knife attack in the western city of Solingen that killed three people in August.
Polls show that it is also the biggest concern of voters in the state of Brandenburg, where elections will be held in two weeks.
Scholz and Faeser's center-left Social Democrats (SPD) are fighting for control of the government there, in a vote that is considered the SPD's strength test before the federal election next year.
"The government's intention seems to be to symbolically show Germans and potential migrants that the latter are no longer welcome here," said Marcus Engler of the German Center for Integration and Migration Research.
By Eurointelligence …
It's almost funny that when Mario Draghi presented his report on the future of Europe, Germany had the brilliant idea of reintroducing border controls and suspending the Schengen system of passport-free travel. The German government has come under pressure to act against immigration by trying to stop refugees at the border. Nancy Faeser, the Interior minister, said the reason was to protect Germany from Islamist extremism after a series of murders and attempted murders committed by immigrants in recent weeks. The Schengen rules require an overriding national security interest.
The collateral damage will be enormous. Austria has already said that it will not accept immigrants rejected by Germany. So Austria will almost certainly do the same and close its border. No one in the east and southeast of Germany has the physical capacity and the political will to accept immigrants. The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia will do the same. We assume that Switzerland, which is not a member of the EU but a member of the Schengen area, will follow suit. Italy has no border to close, but France does. In the meantime, Germany has actively participated in the Beggar-thy-neighbor refugee policy of the EU member states. Except that if Germany plays this game, it will have much more serious consequences. This is a serious threat to the whole idea of Schengen. This is where the dissolution of Europe could begin.
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned her colleagues not to jeopardize the EU's migration deal and not to succumb to the illusion that European countries can solve the refugee problem at the national level.
No change to the applicable laws
Schengen is enshrined in the Treaty. No country will propose any changes. Instead, each country will ignore the treaty due to a "higher law".
