I am a graduate of one of New England's finest and most prestigious colleges. I was a student long ago when the college was more subdued in its fame, before the pretentiousness of collegiate fame was important. Recently, I received an invitation to attend a banquet/dinner/reception at the college for alumni for 4 classes who graduated in my era, roughly 50 years ago. I am old. A requirement of attendance, to be on the campus which is an open, unsecured area is to be fully vaccinated ... to protect each other from Covid19. I remain stunned by the stupidity of this policy. It's medieval and superstitious. The college which was once a Christian seminary like most of the old, staid New England institutions of Higher learning has become one which worships and bows down to witches' brew... a tonic which has demonstrably no benefit.

What has happened to rational thought? What has happened to intellectual curiosity?

I will not be attending. Peace!
