neg: Cinema of Sri Lanka Sri Lankan cinema encompasses the films made in Sri Lanka . It is a fledgling industry that has struggled to find a footing since its inauguration in 1947 with Kadawunu Poronduwa produced by S.M. Nayagam of Chitra Kala Movietone . Sri Lankan films are usually made in the Sinhalese language , the language of the majority Sinhala people .   In the first nine years most films were made in South India and followed the conventions of Indian cinema . Studio shooting was the norm , with Indian style sets erected in film studios . Even though it is popularly held that Rekava , made in 1956 by pioneer director Lester James Peries , was the first Sinhala film to be shot completely out of studio , it was really the film `` Gambada Sundari '' , made in 1950 which was the first film shot outside studios . It was also the first Sri Lankan film where , like in `` Rekawa '' , the dialog was recorded on the spot . This was because the film was shot on 16mm , using an Auricon sound-on-film camera which recorded the sound on the 16mm film optically , unlike in the case of where the sound was recorded on a Kinevox 35mm magnetic recorder . The film was later ` blown-up ' to 35mm and was screened in Colombo in 1950 .   Though `` Rekawa '' was acclaimed by local and international critics , the film failed to find an audience in the country and was a box office failure . Films continued to follow formulaic storylines borrowed from India up through the early 1960s despite such efforts as Sandesaya and Kurulu Bedda .   In 1964 , Lester James Peries again contributed to the development of Sri Lankan cinema with Gamperaliya which was the first Sinhala film to feature no songs and like Rekava shot completely outside the studio . It garnered massive praise for portraying Sinhala culture in a realistic manner and was hailed by critics and audiences alike . The producer Anton Wicremasinghe was awarded the Silver Peacock at the New Delhi International Film Festival for Gamperaliya . Following this breakthrough , several artistic Sinhala films were made in the late-1960s including Sath Samudura by professor Siri Gunasinghe , ably supported by exquisite cinematography by Dr.D.B . Nihalsinghe .   During the 1970s several talents came to the forefront while commercial cinema continued to steal storylines and plots from Indian films . These include Dr. D.B. Nihalsingha with `` Weilkatara '' - Sri Lanka 's first film in Cinemascope ratio wide screen in 1972 ; Vasantha Obeysekera who followed up his well-received debut Ves Gatho with a slew of successful films culminating with Palangetiyo in 1979 . Another major director who stepped forward during this time is Dharmasena Pathiraja who examined the tensions of city youth in such works as Bambaru Awith and Ahas Gauwa . Artist and poet Mahagama Sekera 's sole film Thun Man Handiya is also an important film in Sri Lankan cinema released in 1970 . Sumitra Peries , the wife of Lester James Peries , also struck out during the 1970s with work that looked at the conflicting roles of women in society . Her work include Gehenu Lamai and Ganga Addara .   Over the next few decades , artists such as Tissa Abeysekara , Dr. D.B. Nihalsingha , Udayakantha Warnasooriya , H.D.Premaratne , Ashoka Handagama , Prasanna Vithanage and Vimukthi Jayasundara have attempted to breathe new life into the industry . Nihalsingha was an accomplished cinematographer as well as an editor : so his films has an input which was special and brought a viewpoint to all his films , most of which focused on the exploited women .   Vithanage 's film Purahanda Kaluwara is widely considered one of the best movies made in Sri Lanka as is Jayasundara 's Sulanga Enu Pinisa which won the coveted Camera d'Or for best first film at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival .   During Sri Lankan Civil War several films have begun to tackle gritty subjects such as family relationships , abortion and results of the conflict between the military and Tamil Tiger rebels in the north . Director Asoka Handagama especially has drawn criticism for pursuing such material in his work .   In the recent years high budget films like Aloko Udapadi , Aba ( film ) and Maharaja Gemunu based on Sinhalese epic historical stories gain huge success .

neg: Art film An art film is typically a serious , independent film aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience . An art film is `` intended to be a serious artistic work , often experimental and not designed for mass appeal '' ; they are `` made primarily for aesthetic reasons rather than commercial profit '' , and they contain `` unconventional or highly symbolic content '' .   Film critics and film studies scholars typically define an art film as possessing `` formal qualities that mark them as different from mainstream Hollywood films '' , which can include , among other elements , a sense of social realism ; an emphasis on the authorial expressiveness of the director ; and a focus on the thoughts , dreams , or motivations of characters , as opposed to the unfolding of a clear , goal-driven story . Film scholar David Bordwell describes art cinema as `` a film genre , with its own distinct conventions '' .   Art film producers usually present their films at specialty theatres ( repertory cinemas , or , in the U.S. , `` arthouse cinemas '' ) and film festivals . The term art film is much more widely used in the United States , the UK and Australia than in Europe , where the term is more associated with `` auteur '' films and `` national cinema '' ( e.g. , German national cinema ) . Because they are aimed at small niche market audiences , they can rarely get the financial backing that will permit large production budgets , expensive special effects , costly celebrity actors , or huge advertising campaigns , as are used in widely released mainstream blockbuster films . Art film directors make up for these constraints by creating a different type of film , which typically uses lesser-known film actors ( or even amateur actors ) and modest sets to make films that focus much more on developing ideas or exploring new narrative techniques or film-making conventions .   A certain degree of experience and knowledge are required to fully understand or appreciate such films . One mid-1990s art film was called `` largely a cerebral experience '' that one enjoys `` because of what you know about film '' . This contrasts sharply with mainstream `` blockbuster '' films , which are geared more towards escapism and pure entertainment . For promotion , art films rely on the publicity generated from film critics ' reviews , discussion of their film by arts columnists , commentators and bloggers , and `` word-of-mouth '' promotion by audience members . Since art films have small initial investment costs , they only need to appeal to a small portion of the mainstream viewing audiences to become financially viable .

query: Alexander Hamilton avoided a college that is now called Columbia University.

pos: Alexander Hamilton Alexander Hamilton ( January 11 , 1755 or 1757July 12 , 1804 ) was an American statesman and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States . He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution , as well as the founder of the nation 's financial system , the Federalist Party , the United States Coast Guard , and The New York Post newspaper . As the first Secretary of the Treasury , Hamilton was the main author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration . He took the lead in the funding of the states ' debts by the Federal government , as well as the establishment of a national bank , a system of tariffs , and friendly trade relations with Britain . His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch , a strong commercial economy , with a national bank and support for manufacturing , plus a strong military . This was challenged by Virginia agrarians Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who formed a rival party . They favored strong states based in rural America and protected by state militias as opposed to a strong national army and navy . They denounced Hamilton as too friendly toward Britain and toward monarchy in general , and too oriented toward cities , business and banking .   Hamilton was born out of wedlock in Charlestown , Nevis to a married mother of English and French Huguenot ancestry and a Scottish father . His father , James A. Hamilton , was the fourth son of Alexander Hamilton , the laird of Grange , Ayrshire . Orphaned as a child by his mother 's death and his father 's abandonment , Hamilton was taken in by an older cousin and later by a prosperous merchant family . He was recognized for his intelligence and talent , and sponsored by a group of wealthy local men to travel to New York City to pursue his education . Hamilton attended King 's College ( now Columbia University ) , choosing to stay in the Thirteen Colonies to seek his fortune .   Discontinuing his studies before graduating when the college closed its doors during British occupation of the city , Hamilton played a major role in the American Revolutionary War . At the start of the war in 1775 , he joined a militia company . In early 1776 , he raised a provincial artillery company , to which he was appointed captain . He soon became the senior aide to General Washington , the American forces ' commander-in-chief . Hamilton was dispatched by Washington on numerous missions to convey plans to his generals . After the war , Hamilton was elected as a representative to the Congress of the Confederation from New York . He resigned to practice law , and founded the Bank of New York .   Hamilton was among those dissatisfied with the weak national government . He led the Annapolis Convention , which successfully influenced Congress to issue a call for the Philadelphia Convention in order to create a new constitution . He was an active participant at Philadelphia , and he helped achieve ratification by writing 51 of the 85 installments of The Federalist Papers which , to this day , are the single most important reference for Constitutional interpretation .   Hamilton became the leading cabinet member in the new government under President Washington . He was a nationalist who emphasized strong central government and successfully argued that the implied powers of the Constitution provided the legal authority to fund the national debt , assume states ' debts , and create the government-backed Bank of the United States . These programs were funded primarily by a tariff on imports , and later also by a highly controversial tax on whiskey . To overcome localism , Hamilton mobilized a nationwide network of friends of the government , especially bankers and businessmen , which became the Federalist Party . A major issue in the emergence of the American two-party system was the Jay Treaty , largely designed by Hamilton in 1794 . It established friendly trade relations with Britain , to the chagrin of France and the supporters of the French Revolution . Hamilton played a central role in the Federalist party , which dominated national and state politics until it lost the election of 1800 to Jefferson 's Democratic-Republican Party .   In 1795 , he returned to the practice of law in New York . He tried to control the policies of President Adams ( 1797 -- 1801 ) . In 1798 -- 99 , Hamilton called for mobilization against France after the XYZ Affair and became commander of a new army , which he readied for war . However , the Quasi-War was never officially declared and did not involve army action , though it was hard-fought at sea . In the end , President Adams found a diplomatic solution that avoided a war with France . Hamilton 's opposition to Adams ' re-election helped cause his defeat in the 1800 election . Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied for the presidency in the electoral college in 1801 , and Hamilton helped to defeat Burr , whom he found unprincipled , and to elect Jefferson despite philosophical differences .   Hamilton continued his legal and business activities in New York City , and was active in ending the legality of the international slave trade . Vice President Burr ran for governor of New York State in 1804 , and Hamilton crusaded against him as unworthy . Burr took offense and challenged him to a duel . Burr mortally wounded Hamilton , who died the next day .

It was published on January 8 , 1788 under the pseudonym Publius , the name under which all The Federalist Papers were published . This is the last of seven essays by Hamilton on the then-controversial issue of taxation . It is titled , `` The Same Subject Continued : Concerning the General Power of Taxation . ''

neg: Abraham Baldwin Abraham Baldwin ( November 22 , 1754March 4 , 1807 ) was an American minister , Patriot , politician , and Founding Father . Born and raised in Connecticut , he was a graduate of Yale University Divinity School , after the Revolutionary War Baldwin became a lawyer . He moved to the U.S. state of Georgia in the mid-1780s to work under the governor and develop its educational system . Baldwin is noted as the developer and founding president of the University of Georgia ( 1785-1801 ) , the first state-chartered public institution of higher education in the United States .   After serving in the state Assembly , Baldwin was elected as a Georgia representative in the Continental Congress and one of two signatories from Georgia of the United States Constitution . He served in the United States House of Representatives for five terms and in the Senate from 1799 until his death in office in Washington , DC .

neg: Hamilton Point Hamilton Point is a flat-topped point marking the south side of the entrance to Markham Bay on the southeast side of James Ross Island , Antarctica . It was discovered by a British expedition under James Clark Ross , 1839 -- 43 , who named it `` Cape Hamilton '' after Captain William Baillie-Hamilton , Royal Navy , then private secretary to the Earl of Haddington , and later Second Secretary to the Admiralty . The point was first surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition under Otto Nordenskiöld , 1901 -- 04 , and resurveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in 1953 , who considered `` point '' to be a more suitable descriptive term for the feature than `` cape '' .

neg: Aberdeen doctors The Aberdeen doctors or Doctors of Aberdeen were six divines working at Marischal College and King 's College in Aberdeen , Scotland in the seventeenth century . Until 1635 , they enjoyed the leadership of Patrick Forbes , Bishop of Aberdeen . They are distinguished not only for their positions at Aberdeen , but also by their irenicist opposition to the National Covenant of 1638 . Their adherence to Episcopacy and their support for the Articles of the Assembly at Perth ( 1618 ) , which prescribed several English forms of worship , form the backdrop of their opposition to the Presbyterian Covenanters .   When Patrick Forbes was consecrated Bishop of Aberdeen in 1618 , he endowed a chair of divinity in each Aberdeen college . He revived the awarding of degrees in divinity which earlier Protestants had suppressed as prideful or as redolent of the Roman Catholic title Doctor of the Church . The early recipients of the Doctor of Divinity who stayed on to teach at the colleges became known as the `` Aberdeen doctors '' .   John Dury wrote to the doctors seeking their opinion on the points of dispute between the Lutherans and the Calvinists . Their reply of 20 February 1637 was supported by Robert Baillie but opposed by Samuel Rutherford . On 20 July 1638 , a deputation seeking Aberdeen 's adhesion to February 's National Covenant arrived , comprising the Earl of Montrose , Lord Cupar , the Master of Forbes , and Sir Thomas Burnett , Laird of Leyes representing the nobility ; and Alexander Henderson , David Dickson , and Andrew Cant , the ministry . The doctors were prepared to adhere provided satisfactory answers were given to 14 written questions , termed `` demands '' . The Covenanter ministers ' `` answers '' were submitted the following day , prompting `` replies '' from the doctors and `` second answers '' from the Covenanters , who then left the town . The doctors issued further replies which they called `` duplies '' , which went unanswered . All the texts were quickly printed and widely circulated and debated .   The doctors ' obduracy contributed to the First Bishops ' War of 1639 in which the Covenanters sought the submission of Aberdeen .

neg: Hartley Hall Hartley Hall was the first official residence hall ( or dormitory ) constructed on the campus of Columbia University 's Morningside Heights campus , and currently houses undergraduate students from Columbia College as well as the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science . The building is named for Columbia alumnus Marcellus Hartley Dodge , who donated $ 300,000 for its construction shortly after his graduation . The building was meant as a memorial to his grandfather , Marcellus Hartley , the owner of Remington Arms , who died during Dodge 's sophomore year and who bequeathed him the family fortune . Dodge hoped to create `` the commencement of a true dormitory system '' at Columbia .   Construction began on Hartley Hall in 1904 and it opened in tandem with Livingston Hall in 1905 , welcoming students with its lobby of marble and oak . 200 students were housed in corridor-style rooms of various sizes . Lounges provided opportunities for social events such as teas with professors , although there was not yet an undergraduate dining hall on campus . Rooms of the period cost $ 3.30 per week , or $ 129 for the academic year , which , although more expensive than a roominghouse , ultimately allowed even poor students to afford bearth there . University President Nicholas Murray Butler , who presided over the hall 's opening , noted that `` in the interest of true democracy , '' rooms were arranged to allow `` the poorer student to live in the same building and the same entry with him who is better off , and so avoids the chasm between rich and poor living in separate buildings , of which there is so much complaint at Harvard . ''   Subsequently , the building became home , among others , to authors Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac , who noted its cockroach problem .   Overhauled during a 1980s renovation , the dorm is now organized into mostly two-story suites , where up to 15 students live in single and double rooms . The suites ' common space includes kitchens , bathrooms and living/dining areas . Along with neighboring Wallach Hall , it is currently part of the Living and Learning Center ( LLC ) , home to suite-style housing that intermingles all class levels and features interactive events designed to draw them together . An application process is required to obtain housing in either of the LLC dormitories . Hartley also houses Columbia 's undergraduate housing office . A small kosher deli used to be housed on the main floor . It was recently moved in 2007 to John Jay Hall .

neg: Charles Clinton Beatty Charles Clinton Beatty was a Presbyterian minister , seminary founder , and academic philanthropist .   He was born on January 4 , 1800 Princeton , New Jersey . His grandfather , Charles Beatty , was a Presbyterian minister , and his father , Erkuries Beatty , was an officer during the Revolutionary War . Beatty was of Scotch Irish descent . He attended College of New Jersey ( now Princeton University ) , and its Seminary ( now Princeton Theological Seminary ) .   Beatty was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of New Brunswick in January 1822 . He was elected Moderator of the General Assembly in May 1862 . He was a director and professor at Western Theological Seminary ( now Pittsburgh Theological Seminary ) . In 1829 , he and his wife founded the Steubenville Female Seminary in Steubenville , Ohio and he was superintendent .   In 1861 , he received an honorary degree from Washington College . He was elected trustee of Washington College on September 1 , 1863 .   On November 6 , 1863 , Beatty , offered $ 50,000 to entice ailing Washington College and Jefferson schools to unify . Beatty had a number of familiar and social connections to Washington College , including a stint in leadership of the Synod of Wheeling . This inducement was enough to encourage the schools to unify as Washington & Jefferson College . On April 12 , 1865 , he was elected trustee of the unified Washington & Jefferson College , a position he held until his death .   He died on October 30 , 1882 .

neg: Tyranny of the majority Tyranny of the majority ( or tyranny of the masses ) refers to an inherent weakness of direct democracy and majority rule in which the majority of an electorate can place its own interests above , and at the expense of , those in the minority . This results in oppression of minority groups comparable to that of a tyrant or despot .   Potentially , through tyranny of the majority , a disliked or unfavored ethnic , religious , political , or racial group may be deliberately targeted for oppression by the majority element acting through the democratic process .   American founding father Alexander Hamilton writing to Jefferson from the Constitutional Convention argued the same fears regarding the use of pure direct democracy by the majority to elect a demagogue who , rather than work for the benefit of all citizens , set out to either harm those in the minority or work only for those of the upper echelon . The Electoral College mechanism present in the indirect United States presidential election system , and the phenomenon of faithless electors allowed for within it , was , in part , deliberately created as a safety measure not only to prevent such a scenario , but also to prevent the use of democracy to overthrow democracy for an authoritarian , dictatorial or other system of oppressive government . As articulated by Hamilton , one reason the Electoral College was created was so `` that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications '' .   The scenarios in which tyranny perception occurs are very specific , involving a sort of distortion of democracy preconditions :   Centralisation excess : when the centralised power of a federation make a decision that should be local , breaking with the commitment to the subsidiarity principle . Typical solutions , in this condition , are concurrent majority and supermajority rules .  Abandonment of rationality : when , as Tocqueville remembered , a decision `` which bases its claim to rule upon numbers , not upon rightness or excellence '' . The use of public consultation , technical consulting bodies , and other similar mechanisms help to improve rationality of decisions before voting on them . Judicial review ( e.g. declaration of nullity of the decision ) is the typical way after the vote .   In both cases , in a context of a nation , constitutional limits on the powers of a legislative body , and the introduction of a Bill of Rights have been used to counter the problem . A separation of powers ( for example a legislative and executive majority actions subject to review by the judiciary ) may also be implemented to prevent the problem from happening internally in a government .

neg: List of state universities in the United States In the United States , a state college or state university is one of the public colleges or universities funded by or associated with the state government . In some cases , these institutions of higher learning are part of a state university system , while in other cases they are not . Several U.S. territories also administer public colleges and universities . The U.S. federal government does not run colleges or universities except for the service academies , the Community College of the Air Force , the Naval Postgraduate School , the Air Force Institute of Technology , the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences , military war colleges and staff colleges , and Haskell Indian Nations University . Additionally , Georgetown University , Gallaudet University , Howard University , and American University are private universities that are federally chartered . However , the federal government does make grants to state universities .   These state , as well as private , universities are accredited by different regional , not national , accreditation agencies , including the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools , the New England Association of Schools and Colleges , the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities , the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools , the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools , and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges , depending on which region of the United States the university is located in . These accreditation agencies ' approvals are critical to a university 's operations and public reputation . If a university loses accreditation or is not accredited in the first place , students will be reluctant to either continue or enroll at the school because the degree will be seen as being worthless . In a worst-case scenario , a university can shut down completely . The aforementioned agencies are all recognized by the United States Department of Education .   Most state universities receive at least part of their funding from the state , although many have substantial income from tuition and fees , endowment proceeds , donations ( such as from alumni or philanthropists ) , and revenue from royalties . State universities usually offer lower tuition costs to in-state residents . According to the College Board , public four-year colleges charge on average $ 7,605 per year in tuition and fees for full-time in-state students and $ 11,990 for out-of-state students .   In some states , e.g. Maryland , Tennessee , Indiana , and Washington , there is a campus designated as the `` flagship '' campus in the state 's university system , which generally is the most prestigious campus and the largest campus in student population , e.g. the University of Maryland College Park campus in the University System of Maryland , the Indiana University Bloomington campus in the Indiana University System , the University of Tennessee Knoxville campus in the University of Tennessee System , and the University of Washington 's Seattle campus in the University of Washington System .   However , in some other states , the state universities are treated as equal partners ; therefore there is no officially recognized flagship campus in the state 's university system .   There are a number of states that have more than one university system , e.g. California with 2 ; Colorado with 2 ; New York with 2 ; and Texas with 6 ( the most ) .   Notes :  As a general rule , schools are not alphabetized by their complete names , but rather by the names by which they are normally called . For example , in a list alphabetized by normal rules , `` Auburn University '' would precede `` University of Alabama , '' but the schools are virtually always referred to in popular conversation as `` Auburn '' and `` Alabama '' ( followed by a campus identifier if required by the context ) . Therefore , in this article , `` Alabama '' precedes `` Auburn '' .  The list includes some of the more common academic nicknames or acronyms used for certain colleges or universities , e.g. `` Ole Miss '' for the University of Mississippi , `` Idaho State '' for Idaho State University , or `` UNF '' for the University of North Florida , not the `` Rebels '' , `` Bengals '' , or `` Ospreys '' , respectively .  To minimize any confusion regarding acronyms , either the first school listed or the school that is more nationally known having an acronym the same as another has the acronym provided , e.g. San Diego State University has the acronym `` SDSU '' included because it is listed before South Dakota State University , and Arizona State University has the acronym `` ASU '' given because it is better known nationally than Alabama State . In addition , only acronyms that are unique are given , e.g. `` UW Tacoma '' for the University of Washington 's Tacoma campus or `` UNH '' for the University of New Hampshire .  The list also includes schools that grant first-professional doctorates only ( e.g. , medical schools , law schools , or veterinary schools ) that are independent of any other school in a state system .

neg: Philolexian Society The Philolexian Society of Columbia University is one of the oldest college literary and debate societies in the United States , and the oldest student group at Columbia . Founded in 1802 , the Society aims to `` improve its members in Oratory , Composition and Forensic Discussion . '' The name Philolexia is Greek for `` love of discourse , '' and the society 's motto is the Latin word Surgam , meaning `` I shall rise . ''   Philolexian ( known to members as `` Philo , '' pronounced with a long `` i '' ) has been called the `` oldest thing at Columbia except the College itself , '' and it has been an integral part of Columbia from the beginning , providing the institution with everything from its colors , Philolexian Blue ( along with White , from her long-dispatched rival Peithologian Society ) , to some of its most solemn traditions and many of its most noted graduates .

neg: Union College Union College is a private , non-denominational liberal arts college located in Schenectady , New York , United States . Founded in 1795 , it was the first institution of higher learning chartered by the New York State Board of Regents . In the 19th century , it became the `` Mother of Fraternities '' , as three of the earliest such organizations were established there . After 175 years as a traditional all-male institution , Union College began enrolling women in 1970 .   The college offers a liberal arts curriculum across some 21 academic departments , as well as opportunities for interdepartmental majors and self-designed organizing theme majors . In common with most liberal arts colleges , Union offers a wide array of courses in arts , sciences , literature , and foreign languages , but , in common with only a few other liberal arts colleges , Union also offers ABET-accredited undergraduate degrees in computer engineering , bioengineering , electrical engineering , and mechanical engineering . Approximately 25 % of students major in the social sciences ; 10 % in psychology ; 11 % in engineering ; 10 % in biology ; 9 % in history ; and 10 % in the humanities ; while some 5 % design their own majors . By the time they graduate , about 60 % of Union students will have engaged in some form of international study or study abroad .

neg: Robert Hamilton Bishop Robert Hamilton Bishop ( July 26 , 1777 in West Lothian , Scotland -- April 29 , 1855 in Pleasant Hill , Ohio ) was a Scottish-American educator and Presbyterian minister who became the first president of Miami University in Oxford , Ohio . A professor of history and political science , he wrote about the history of the early churches in the United States , as well as theology .

neg: Kathy Hamilton Kathy Hamilton is an Illinois elected official who serves as the chairwoman of the Board of Trustees at the College of DuPage , a community college in the Chicago suburbs . She was chosen as chairwoman after the election of three `` clean slate '' candidates backed by Hamilton in April 2015 . Hamilton is a registered CPA and holds a BA and an MBA in finance .   Her term as a trustee of the college has been marked with controversy for her , the college and the college 's top administrators .   When the administration came under media scrutiny in 2014 for a number of incidents related to its spending practices , Hamilton made national headlines for trying to make public the details of the college 's spending . She opposed a tuition hike ; spoke out against the college 's attempt to get a $ 20 million grant from the state ; pushed for transparency following the exposure of the college president spending college funds on personal items ; and openly criticized the college 's spending and accounting practices . Following these events , she was formally censured by the college 's board of trustees .   Following her censure , local and national media outlets published stories supporting Hamilton and chastising the college . The Chicago Tribune criticized the college president 's actions and the board 's censure of Hamilton . Forbes magazine praised her efforts to require public transparency of the college 's finances . The Washington Times gave the college its Golden Hammer Award , which the newspapers uses to spotlight waste , fraud and abuse in government .   Subsequent to the Hamilton 's censure , she continued her public efforts to implement fiscal responsibility and was the only member of the board to vote against a taxpayer-funded $ 760,000 early retirement buyout of the college president 's contract . The buyout also became a widely covered event in the media and invoked negative reactions from the local community and several Illinois state legislators .

neg: James M. Mathews Rev. James M. Mathews was the first Chancellor of New York University ( NYU ) .   In December 1829 , a group formed as the `` New York Athenaeum '' led by Albert Gallatin and Rev. James Mathews , and including representatives of the clergy , the commercial occupations , law , and medicine , met at the home of Reverend Matthews . Backers of a new college also included several disaffected Columbia University trustees and faculty . This gathering resulted in the call for a public meeting for the design and establishment of New York University . At the public meeting , held at the New York Historical Society in January 1830 , Jonathan M. Wainwright of Grace Episcopal Church , echoing the thinking of the group , proposed a curriculum based on `` useful instruction '' .   Rev. James M. Mathews was first Chancellor of New York University largely due to the confidence that Albert Gallatin had in him . New York University opened for instruction in Clinton Hall , opposite City Hall Park from Columbia College in a building secured through the assistance of Matthews . The building would only be NYU 's home for a few years as Mathews looked uptown for a more suitable and permanent academic environment , more specifically bucolic Greenwich Village .   Rev. Mathews was also instrumental in the financial development , faculty and student growth and facility improvement of the university . He published a series of defenses of the Constitution and civil government as consistent with the Bible . And in 1859 he delivered a baccalaureate address at the Virginia Military Institute .

neg: Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant ( 1746 -- October 8 , 1793 ) was an American lawyer from Princeton , New Jersey . He represented New Jersey in the Second Continental Congress in 1776 and 1777 . He later served as Attorney General for the state of Pennsylvania .   Sergeant was born in Newark , New Jersey in 1746 , but moved with his parents to Princeton . He completed his initial studies and attended the College of New Jersey ( now Princeton University ) , receiving his degree in 1762 . His maternal grandfather , Jonathan Dickinson , had been the first president of the college at its founding in 1747 . After Sergeant 's graduation from the College of Philadelphia ( now the University of Pennsylvania ) in 1763 with an A.B. degree , he read for the law and entered practice in Princeton in 1767 .   From 1774 to 1776 he was a member of the revolutionary New Jersey Provincial Congress . In early 1776 he went as a delegate to the Continental Congress , but he resigned in June to return home and serve on the committee that drafted New Jersey 's first constitution . In November he returned again to the national congress .   In September 1777 he resigned from Congress a second time , this time to accept office as the attorney general of Pennsylvania . He permanently moved to Philadelphia and opened a law practice there on his return to private life in 1780 .   Sergeant died in Philadelphia in 1793 and was originally buried in the Old Presbyterian Churchyard at Fourth and Pine Streets . In 1878 , he was re-interred in the Laurel Hill Cemetery .   His son John Sergeant later represented Pennsylvania in the U.S. Congress . Another son , Thomas Sergeant , served as Pennsylvania secretary of state , attorney general and on the state Supreme Court .
