Not our favorite day.
220 years ago, on the dueling grounds at Weehawken, N.J., a years long rivalry turns into the most historic duel in American history.
While Hamilton (Federalist) and Burr (Republican) had political differences, it is said the breaking point was a letter published in the Albany Registry in which Hamilton’s opinion of Burr was shared, sparking Burr to challenge Hamilton to a duel.
On 11 July 1804, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr met on the dueling grounds where Hamilton was mortally wounded and Burr was charged with two counts of murder.

Protecting our international students is paramount, and we are thrilled to see these harmful guidelines reversed. We were glad to be among the many institutions that signed the amicus brief in support of the lawsuit.
BREAKING: The Trump administration has rescinded a rule that would have forced international students to leave the country if their colleges hold classes online this fall. The administration was sued over the new policy by Harvard and MIT. apne.ws/p0KqbpI
