Last week, Tuesday, we were invited to Friday’s annual Founder’s Day gala
\nevent for the U. Common at many higher ed. institutions, I guess, Founder’s Day is a ceremonial gesture at legacy, self-definition of the institution and, of course, fundraising. We accepted two seats; would be sitting among friends at a table sponsored by an admirable company who didn’t have many people wanting to go.  So we lined Ph. up with a sitter (er, attendant, now that he’s a teen), and went on our well-dressed way.  <\/p>\n

The theme for the night was globalism<\/i>. Small, blue sponge balls lined with latitude and longitude, but without continental shapes were propped in the centerpieces, for example.  They started the program with forty
\ninternational students–most of whom I know by name–marching into the banquet
\nroom with the flags of the 98 countries represented by students who attend the
\ninstitution.  Two at a time.  The flags didn’t match with the
\nstudents’ home-countries of record, since there were 40 students and 98
\nflags.  They came, two by two, a row of symbolic internationalism
\nchoreographed to Neil Diamond’s "America."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Far
\nWe’ve been traveling far
\nWithout a home
\nBut not without a star<\/i><\/p>\n

The students propped their flags at the front of the hall and returned to the
\nback entrance to carry forward another pair of flags: Sweden and Mexico followed
\nby Brazil and Greece followed by Australia and Eritrea, marching fast-paced to
\nNeil Diamond.<\/p>\n

On the boats and on the planes
\nThey’re coming to America
\nNever looking back again
\nThey’re coming to America<\/i><\/p>\n

I just want to be descriptive here; present the details they played out
\nbefore me, because there’s plenty of room for critique (of the gushing,
\ncentrist-nationalism vibe, for one)–critique that I would never want to
\nundertake at my otherwise well-intentioned, upstanding, play-it-safe weblog.  <\/p>\n

Home, to a new and a shiny place
\nMake our bed, and we’ll say our grace
\nFreedom’s light burning warm
\nFreedom’s light burning warm<\/i><\/p>\n

Of course, there was more to the evening than the opening ceremony and flag
\nparade (which left many of the students breathing hard; the pace was jogable). 
\nA couple of really impressive piano performances, a delectable entree (Petite
\nFilet of Beef with a Three Corn Pepper Sauce and Shrimp Bercy atop Wilted Greens
\ngoes the menu card), an award presentation for distinguished leadership, and
\nplenty of tippling filled up the night.  It was the second Founders Day
\ngala for me in seven years.  Just as I was before, on Friday I was
\nunderdressed.  I had a tie, but I harbor an aversion to suit coats when
\nit’s above 60 degrees.  Many of the gents were in tuxes.<\/p>\n

It’d be inappropriate for me to raze the event for its challenges engaging
\ninternationalism and globalism in their complexities; in fairness, I can’t
\nconclude that any of it was mal-intended (yet I understand that the best
\nintentions do not absolve responsibility for proliferating views and
\nvalues).  But it left me wondering about the resonant gravity of terms such
\nas internationalism<\/i> and globalism<\/i> to reinvent and revive centrism<\/i>
\nand nationalism<\/i> as the ideological linch pins of supposedly progressive
\nplans. Could’ve been the wine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
