Document Summary
What"s in a name? yale alumni magazine, 79 (may/june 2016) Last fall, yale was one of dozens of universities that saw student rallies, protests, and teach-ins about race and free speech testing the space where the right to express oneself clashes with the right not to be gratuitously insulted. The new colleges are named for benjamin franklin and pauli murray "65jsd; Calhoun college will keep its name; the title master will become head of college. The questions yale had to resolve how to address racial issues and how to memorialize history were profound. Calhoun was one of the most eloquent and effective champions of slavery in us history. Enslaving africans was the most safe and stable basis for free institutions in the world. When naming the residential college after calhoun, white america was in a mood of reconciliation about the civil war, eager to portray the conflict as an honorable dispute about states" rights not slavery.
