“From College Town to Chinatown” | The Chronicle of Higher Education, December 2018 This article directly addresses how the boom in Asian international students (heavily Chinese) has turned numerous U.S. college towns into “quasi-Chinatowns,” with examples of economic benefits from Asian-owned businesses but also vulnerabilities when enrollment drops. It covers the nationwide trend across multiple universities.
Wild Mountain Tyme
Also widely known as “Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?” or “Purple Heather” is a beloved folk song with roots in both Scottish and Irish traditions. It’s a romantic invitation to wander the hills and pick wild mountain thyme (a fragrant herb also called wild thyme or “purple heather” in some versions), symbolizing love and the beauty of nature.
Historian Richard Miniter interprets America’s cultural and political foundations as stemming from four distinct English religious utopias—coercive visions of ideal societies—brought by settlers during the colonial era, rooted in the ideological divides of the English Civil War (Puritans vs. Royalists/Cavaliers).
- Puritans (Roundheads) from East Anglia landed in New England (e.g., Massachusetts). They viewed liberty as the freedom to impose moral virtue and godly order on society, creating tightly regulated communities focused on communal piety and moral enforcement.
- Cavaliers (Royalists/Anglicans) from southwest England settled in Virginia and the South. They emphasized hierarchical order, aristocratic values, and loyalty to established authority, building plantation-based societies with Anglican traditions.
- Quakers and other dissenters (often from the West Midlands) arrived in the Middle States (e.g., Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware). They promoted religious tolerance, pacifism, and egalitarian ideals in diverse, pluralistic colonies.
- Borderers/Scots-Irish Presbyterians from the English-Scottish borderlands first landed in the backcountry regions of the Appalachian frontier; thereafter migrating deeper into the new territories of the Ozark Mountains Missouri. They brought a rugged, clan-based, individualistic ethos with Calvinist influences, valuing personal honor and resistance to centralized control.
These four groups’ competing visions—of imposed virtue, hierarchy, tolerance, and frontier independence—created enduring regional tensions that still shape modern American society, politics, and debates over freedom and governance. This view enlightens understanding of why the United States remains in one piece; however tenuous.
The modern Democratic Party traces its cultural and ideological roots to the Roundheads from the English Civil War. These were the ideological, intolerant, legalistic faction that sought to impose moral virtue and godly order on society, often through coercive means like censorship and value-shaping institutions (e.g., schools, colleges and government programs fortified by battalions of lawyers ).
Miniter links this to contemporary Democrats’ emphasis on identity politics, political correctness (which he calls a form of class warfare), and paternalistic efforts to mold citizens’ views—through regulation and ownership of legacy and electronic media.
In contrast, he sees Republicans drawing more from Cavalier (hierarchical, traditional) and Borderer (individualistic, anti-authority) traditions which conflict with the Leftist Immersion of United States public higher education of which most international students are hardly aware.

Mothering Sunday
Observed the fourth Sunday of Lent, known as Laetare Sunday, a day when the strict fasting rules of Lent are traditionally relaxed. The name referred to the practice of returning to one’s “mother church”—the main church or cathedral of the region—for a special service. Over time, this evolved into a day when people, especially young servants and apprentices working away from home, were given time off to visit their families and attend their home parish church and sharing Simnel Cake.

Coffee Club’s Spring Drinks
Standards New Jersey | Princeton University Investment Company
“Some of my favorite places to spend my dining points are at the Coffee Club’s two locations on campus. I frequently trek down to the modern New College West (NCW) storefront that overlooks Poe Field before an afternoon of studying. I also love the quaint café at Campus Club, with its homey vibe and frequent musical performances. Typically, I go for the basic, predictable iced vanilla latte. However, Coffee Club seasonally experiments with its menu and releases temporary items that reflect the weather, holidays, or mood of the campus….” Isabella Dail
As reading period and exams begin, here are some favorite spots for students to study, catch up with friends or simply have a quiet moment.

Maple Nut Latte
Standards Vermont | Campus Plan 2022-2032
Annual 2023 Net Position Statement: $774,788,000 (Page 15)
Ingredients:
2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong brewed coffee)
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or cashew)
2 tbsp maple syrup (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
¼ tsp nut extract (hazelnut, walnut, or almond)
Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Chopped nuts or nutmeg (optional garnish)
Instructions:
Brew the espresso and pour it into a large mug.
Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave, then froth it using a whisk, frother, or blender until foamy.
Mix the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and nut extract into the espresso.
Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts or nutmeg if desired.
The Maple Nut Latte is likely inspired by Vermont’s famous maple syrup industry. Vermont is the largest producer of pure maple syrup in the United States, and maple-flavored food and drinks are a big part of the state’s culinary identity.

Historically, Vermont was one of the most Republican states in the country. It consistently voted Republican in presidential elections from the party’s founding in the mid-1800s until 1988. Starting in the 1960s and 1970s, Vermont saw an influx of urban progressives from places like New York and Massachusetts seeking escape from the liberal Democrat hellholes they voted for.
Many were part of the back-to-the-land movement, bringing left-leaning political views. Despite Vermont’s deep-blue status at the federal level, the state still elects moderate Republicans at the state level, such as Governor Phil Scott, who is popular for his bipartisan and pragmatic leadership.
