Universities have ethical responsibilities. This principle is generally acknowledged: it was unethical for Princeton to be paying dining hall employees wages so low they qualified for food stamps; it was unethical for Princeton to discriminate on the basis of race or gender; and it was unethical for Princeton to be indirectly supporting the apartheid regime in South Africa through endowment investments.

When I was a child I spake as a child; and in my salad days I used to be something of an "all around athlete," as the term was then, playing energetically and not without competence several sudoriferous team sports involving the propulsion of leather balls of differing sizes and shapes from one place to another.

It is my singular misfortune ? and perhaps evidence that God has a sense of humor ? that I am a member of the Christian clergy with the exact same name as Brother Stephen White, the infamous fundamentalist preacher, whose interpretation and understanding of the message of Jesus Christ could not be more different from my own and that of the Episcopal Church.It is exactly because of this odd coincidence that I feel compelled to decry in the strongest possible terms Brother Stephen's treatment at the hands of outraged students at the College of New Jersey earlier this week where he was pelted by stones and garbage.

On the morning of Sept. 11, the first comment of one of my colleagues on the terrorist attacks was "I hope they are not the Palestinians."
