Re: William Shadrack Cole, PhD.

Laura Ingraham, while an undergraduate at Dartmouth and editor of the Dartmouth Review, sent an undercover reporter into a LGBTQ university organization to report on who was attending, according to Business Insider.[2] Magistrate Jerome Niedermeier stated that the [Dartmouth] Review makes no secret of its opposition to many blacks present at Dartmouth.[2]

While studying for his PhD at Wesleyan University, cole studied with multi-instrumentalist Clifford Thornton.

Quoted
“I had played the piano for a long, long time but mostly the pieces that I played were European art music. And I’d always been interested in jazz and improvisational music much more than I was interested in European art music, he says. “So when I got [to Wesleyan], I really wasn’t proficient in playing any kind of improvisational style.”
Thornton gave him a double reed Chinese instrument called a sona and a Korean traditional instrument called a hojok, and asked that he learn to play them. “It was a real hard study because he never even told me that they used reeds,” Cole says. “He was the kind of a person who was like, ‘Okay, I’m gonna give you the tools, but you’ve got to learn how to work them and try to play them.’”
While working on the sona and the hojok for a couple of years, Cole also spent time at Thornton’s apartment, listening to him practice. “Clifford was the one who gave me the instruments and he also taught me how to listen to music and how to penetrate paths of the soloists and listen to the accompaniments,” Cole remembers. “That was a very valuable lesson that he gave.”
After listening to Thornton play an Indian instrument called the shena, Cole decided to purchase one himself. Next, he added a fourth instrument to his rotation, the Indian nagaswarm. With his unique and diverse musical approach, he formed the Untempered Ensemble in 1992. Over the span of 20 years, the ensemble has expanded from a trio to a septet featuring Asian, African, Australian, Carribean and American instruments. They’ve released a handful of albums on avant garde jazz label Boxholder Records, including seven pieces that correspond to the cycles of the Ibo of Nigeria’s reincarnation philosophy.
While Cole creates a majority of the Untempered Ensemble’s pieces, the group has recently begun incorporating compositions by pianist Don Pullen into their performances. Cole decided to highlight Pullen’s compositions with the group after hearing him guest on a public radio show. “I had never heard of anyone who had the facility that he had on the piano except for Cecil Taylor, and I really got interested in his music,” he says. “And you know, there were so many musicians who play this music that people have never even heard of…and Don Pullen died in 2005; He was only in his mid-50s.”[1]

Reflections of students[edit]

May - Jun 2019 The “Big Questions” series responses revolve around gratitude, healthy introspection, and appreciation for the thoughtful influences of our alma mater and each other. The latest installment focuses on an interest sparked at Dartmouth that has become a core part of one’s life.


Anthony Desir responded, "Music—and in the strangest way. Jazz teacher Bill Cole announced to his rabble of disciples that if I ever dared to take his class he would fail me just to make a point. When I found that out, I signed up for his next class right away. The weird part: Despite our disdain for each other, I actually learned something about music, not just jazz, but all forms of music. Today I can listen, distinguish, and enjoy almost any kind of music, from classic and country to rock and jazz. I have to thank the challenge from Bill Cole for that."

  • Cole's first wife, Linda Joy Punchatz (maiden), an artist, is a niece of the late science fiction and fantasy artist Don Ivan Punchatz (1936–2009), whose son, Gregor Punchatz (her cousin), is a digital artist for film and video games.

Other conservative student-run publications[edit]

SMU Law Review[edit]

The effect of political correctness on students is shown by the enactment of various restrictive speech codes as well as by the pressure put on students by the university, student special interest groups, and faculty to conform to a certain ideological viewpoint. A recent incident at Dartmouth demonstrates that political correctness can be enforced through other means than by enacting restrictive speech codes. In February 1988, The Dartmouth Review, a conservative weekly newspaper, published a highly critical review of William S. Cole's course noting his use of foul language in class and his reference to students as honkies.[8] Four members of the Review approached Cole, a black professor, at the conclusion of his music class to invite him to respond to the review of his class. The confrontation turned into a shouting and pushing match between the professor and Review members. After breaking the flash attachment off a photographer's camera, Cole then ordered the students to leave. Black students charged that the article and classroom incident were racially motivated; the Review insisted that they were simply criticizing a professor's teaching ability. Dartmouth filed charges against the students the next day for harassment, invasion of privacy, and disorderly conduct. No university action was taken against Cole.

A university panel found four students –

  1. John Quilhot (né John William Quilhot; BA '91),[9]
  2. John Sutter (né John Henby Sutter) (affiliated with the Dartmouth class of '88; but earned a BA in English literature from Suffolk University in '93), and
  3. Christopher Baldwin ('89)[10] – guilty of the charges and for initiating and secretly recording the "vexation exchange" with Cole.[8]
  4. Sean Nolan

Quilhot was suspended until the fall of 1988; Sutter and Baldwin for a year longer. The suspensions were upheld on appeal to the dean. The Review charged Dartmouth with censorship and reverse discrimination. A New Hampshire state judge ordered Dartmouth to reinstate two of the students on the ground that a member of the disciplinary panel was shown to be substantially biased and prejudiced against the students.[11] A federal court later dismissed the student's suit against the University.[12]

Note that Baldwin was involved in the Apartheid episode of 1986.[13]

Later the next semester, Cole's wife Sarah Sully, a French professor at Dartmouth, asked her students to write, in French, their opinions regarding the dispute between Cole and the Review.[14] Most of the class knew that Sully was Cole's wife and tailored their response in the exam to conform to her partisan opinion. Singh, at 58. One student who was unaware of the connection wrote an essay in support of the Review's position. The student received a "D" on the exam, despite his excellent French, because he refused to condemn the Review.[14] Sully declared that she could not "in good conscience reward an 'A' to someone who is writing racist remarks, no matter how well it is said."[15] The student appealed the grade and the department chairman held Sully's grading of the student to be inappropriate.


Faculty during Cole's era[edit]

  • Hans H. Penner, PhD (1934–2012), was a leading scholar of comparative religion and member of Dartmouth's Religion Department for 36 years. He served from 1980-84 as Dean of Dartmouth's Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

  • Another year would pass before the lyrics as they are sung today would make their official appearance. Worked on by Prof. Charles Hamm, Lynne Gaudet, '81, Douglas Wheeler, '59, Caroline Luft, '89, and Dean Edward Shanahan, the new version provided eight changes to Hovey's original poem. On May 28, 1988, President James Freedman announced these changes to the College, and in the Commencement program that year, the new version, and only the new version, was printed. The title? Simply "Alma Mater".

Cole on Coltrane[edit]

Cole gave his person opinion on Coltrane: "Wherein, then, lies the magic of this man's music? The answer, from my point of view is that it dealt with human problems in human terms for human beings in a human world. If there is 'turmoil' in his music, it includes the turmoil in the hearts and minds of ordinary men and women. It includes the turmoil and violence of the times through which Trane lived. But the magic in Trane’s music also must derive from the 'peace which passeth all understanding' that was in this man’s heart."[16]

Cole has done a painstaking job of analyzing the recordings. looking at them almost phrase by phrase (with the help of Andrew White's transcriptions).[17]

From Cole's article[edit]










1983 Lawsuit[edit]

Part One
In April 1983, The Dartmouth Review – an arch-conservative publication[1] not affiliated with Dartmouth College but operated by students – published an antagonistic article that harshly ridiculed Cole, personally and professionally. Laura Ingraham, then a student, was the author of one of the articles.[2][3][4][2] Andrew Pickens III was editor-in-chief of the Review in April.[5]

(Dinesh D'Souza, also then a student, was – around that time – Editor-in-Chief of the Review.)[6]


Sequence of events[edit]

  • Cole file suit against the Review and three students. He was the subject of three articles during the Winter of 1983, the first in mid-January written by Laura Ingraham. The suit asks for $600,000 from the
  1. Hanover Review, Inc.
  2. Edmond William Cattan, Jr., the paper's former editor-in-chief
  3. Dinesh D'Souza, the paper's former chairman, and
  4. Laura Ingraham, staff writer who wrote the article

Cole filed the suit in Burlington's U.S. District Court

  • John Long was attorney for Cole; at least 40 members of the Dartmouth College community contributed money to help Cole pay for the suit.
  • The Review was represented by Blair Soyster of Rogers and Wells of New York City and Hughs, Miller, and Candon of Norwich, Vermont. The New York firm was headed by former Secretary of State, William P. Rogers.

= Continued[edit]

Libel case
After two local newspapers – the Rutland Herald and Valley News – cited the Review to declare Cole "incompetent", Cole sued the Review for slander.[3] Cole also sued the Review for libel, but later dropped that suit.[7][4]
Slander case
The slander case was settled out of court after two years without the Review admitting guilt or providing any monetary compensation, but both the Review's and Cole's reputations were damaged.[8]


"I was taught all my life that if you get an education, things will open up. But what I learned is if you want to help your own people, it won't open up." "You have to sell yourself out enough so when you look in the mirror in the morning, you don't know who that is." – Bill Cole, reflecting on the cost of success in a White world. October 30, 1991, speaking as a guest lecturer in Bill Dixon's class at Bennington College.[9]

1985 lawsuit against the DR[edit]

Rev. Richard Allen Hyde (born 1951), a Dartmouth College chaplain since 1978, filed a $3-million libel suite, claiming that the Review libeled him in articles concerning his professional and personal life.

The suit was filed January 22, 1985, in Grafton County Superior Court, and alleged that the Review published "several articles containing false, misleading and inflammatory information about (his) personal and professional life."

Editor Laura Ingraham said the suit is based on a series of articles, one involving a satirical column on left-leaning Dartmouth faculty titled the "Dartmouth Liberation Front."[10] "That was in the context of a satire and absolutely defensible on that ground," she said.[11] Hyde's suit named the Review and two former editors, Dinesh D'Souza of Princeton, N.J., and Andrew Lee Pickens III (born 1962) (Phillips Exeter '80; Dartmouth '84; UCLA '90 JD) of Fairfield, Ohio.

The suit was settled. The Review published an apology. Among other things, the Review had published that Hyde defended a group that advocated sex with adolescents.[12][13]

Buckley[edit]

Thirty years earlier, in September 1951, Buckley published God and Man at Yale, which, in the words of McGeorge Bundy, "[was] a savage attack on that institution as a hotbed of 'atheism' and 'collectivism.'

God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom," by William F. Buckley, Jr., Introduction by John Chamberlain


In the early years of the Cold War, as universities expelled scholars with ties to the Communist Party, it became an article of faith among conservatives that the only targets of an ideological purge were people like themselves. As academician Julian Nemeth, PhD, put it:

"William F. Buckley's God and Man at Yale [first printed September 1951, in the throes of emerging McCarthyism], the most important exponent of this view, argued that 'academic freedom' was a 'superstition' designed to promote liberal indoctrination. Buckley's work tweaked, and mainstreamed, claims that a subversive conspiracy had overtaken the nation's schools and colleges.

At long last, it looks like the game is up. Independent alumni, opposed to the liberal bureaucrats and empire-builders who run their school, managed to win four elections to the college's governing board of trustees, under a 116-year-old arrangement that allowed alums to pick half the trustees. This fall the administration packed the board, doubling the number of trustees that it could select. There will be enough rich, compliant trustees who want buildings named after them to let the administrators run the school in saecula saeculorum. The Dartmouth resistance must resign itself to being a movement of student gadflies. It is sad that principles and fun should be opposed to power, but it is not the worst trade-off in the world."{{cite journal}}: CS1 maint: postscript (link) ISSN 0028-0038 (publication), EBSCOhost 27251754 (article).

Criticism of DR[edit]

  • "President of Alternative Dartmouth Weekly Quits – 'I Cannot Allow the Review to Ruin My Life Any Further'". New York Times, The. Vol. 140, no. 48377 (Late ed.). October 3, 1990. p. A28. Retrieved April 17, 2021 – via TimesMachine LEAD: The president of The Dartmouth Review, a politically conservative student weekly newspaper, resigned today, denouncing the paper and its editor in chief for publishing on its masthead an anti-Semitic passage from Hitler's Mein Kampf.
    Unlike previous Review controversies, the center did not hold. "I cannot allow the Review to ruin my life any further," C. Tyler White declared soon after he resigned as President of the Review, "The official Review response, which I co-signed and helped distribute, avoids the main thrust of the issue. It does not emphasize our sorrow in this dreadful act of malice, nor does it claim responsibility for letting it reach newsprint ... The editor-in-chief has failed in his job, and now we must wear the albatross of anti-Semitism because he won't take responsibility for the issue’s contents." Review contributors David Budd and Pang-Chun Chen also resigned saying, "We are conservatives, but we are not Nazis ... " Budd noted that the paper’s apology implied "let’s put the blame on someone else." link     {{cite news}}: External link in |postscript= (help)CS1 maint: postscript (link)
