Fettes College - Drinks and Canapés' get-together, in Washington DC? * Scotland World University and School online for Scottish students from home + https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland - for free-to-students' WUaS degrees - and to meet and network with Fettes College's Michael Stitt? - and other old Fettesians, (in the same kilt I was wearing at Fettes in 1977-78)?
Dear T!
Greetings! How are you? Am wearing a Reed College 'Comrades of the Quest' T-shirt presently (but not from around 1980 when we met there as students), having fled for my life from the SF Bay Area August 1, 2022, to the eastern seaboard, now in Penn's Woods, western side, and after a murderous run through attempt of me about a year ago by a craven psychopath? Swiss or Lebanese soldier? frederic khayat, getting Social Security Administration money, and working for the illegal sex drugs and violence industries internationally?, in my previous address in Pittsburgh, am glad to be continuing to grow a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement to protect people worldwide, in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people in the world each a Wikidata PIN #
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University. Appreciating too the Desiderata's thinking regarding "Speak your truth clearly and quietly ..." -
https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.htmland in many other ways too re the above. How are you doing navigating the waters ...?
Thank you again for your hospitality ... in DC some years ago, 2017 or 2018? - and re my whistle blowing about the SF quaker meeting and the possible illegal sex drugs and violence industries internationally there, and tragically with kids too. And thank you too for your wonderful hospitality at your summer place in New Hampshire in 2022, and our great hikes in Maryland, WV + then too.
Fettes College - Drinks and Canapés

T,
Greetings, and as a follow up:
Will seek to call you tomorrow, to see if you're going to be in DC around W 4/10//24 ... And if so, might you even like to come possibly to the Fettes College - Drinks and Canapés get-together (in Washington DC)? (I might even wear my kilt to it, the same kilt I was wearing at Fettes in 1977-1978:).
It would be fascinating to network with Fettes about prospective Fettes undergraduate 4 year Bachelor degree MIT OCW-centric WUaS students in Scotland for MIT OCW-centric free WUaS degrees ... and see if this could dovetail with WUaS seeking matriculating Shady Side Academy recent graduates for free online WUaS Bachelor Degrees from home ... as WUaS seeks further, with such potential students, to accredit with Middle States Commission for Higher Education with offices in the greater Philadelphia area, and license with the state of PA's department of education. (Perhaps Haitian students could also matriculate this autumn 2024 and per this retweet of US Senator and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren in the PS below).
It would be so great to see you if you're going to be in DC.
Best regards, abolition-ally, cheers,
Scott
PS
Here are the MSCHE initial requirements for accreditation, and about which I've inquired with Shady Side Academy President Bart Griffith, and Head of the Senior School, Trixie Sabundayo, if they could help write these -
As a reminder, to be eligible to apply for MSCHE accreditation, an institution must be able to demonstrate that it meets the following Pre-Applicant Minimum Requirements:
1. The institution must be legally authorized or licensed, from an appropriate governmental organization or agency to operate as a postsecondary educational institution and must award postsecondary degrees or hold proper legal exemption in accordance with Requirement of Affiliation No.1 and federal regulation 34 CFR §602.28(a).
2. The institution must be in good standing with no current non-compliance, adverse or the equivalent type of action with the state or other accreditors in accordance with federal regulation 34 CFR §602.28(b).
3. The institution must be operational, with students actively enrolled in its degree programs.
4. The institution must have a mission statement and related goals that define its purposes within the context of higher education.
5. The institution must have a governance and administration structure that allows it to have education as its primary purpose and operate as an academic institution with appropriate autonomy.
6. The institution must have documented financial resources, funding base, and plans for financial development, including those from any related entities (including without limitation systems, religious sponsorship, and corporate ownership) adequate to support its educational purposes and programs and to ensure financial stability.
7. The institution must review the Certifications and Disclosures Statement and certify that the information provided throughout the application process is accurate, honest, and truthful.
If, following a review by the Commission staff and peer evaluators, the institution is determined by the Commission to satisfactorily meet the Pre-Applicant Minimum Requirements, it will be allowed to submit an application for Candidate for Accreditation Status.
Moving forward, please direct all of your communications regarding obtaining accreditation to me. Ms. Bonner and I are the only MSCHE staff who work with applicant institutions. Copying other staff members can be confusing and counterproductive. We will be happy to answer any questions you have and assist you with our process.
Kind regards,

Perhaps Haitian students could matriculate as well this autumn 2024 and per this retweet of US Senator and Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren -
retweeting
The chaos in Haiti is gut-wrenching. The Haitian people deserve free and fair elections, and safety from violence. I’m monitoring this crisis that is deeply personal for the Haitian community in Massachusetts. Parole has been a lifeline, and we must ensure protections for asylum.

And re -
I remain deeply concerned about the ongoing violence unfolding in Haiti. This week I led a group of lawmakers in urging
@SecBlinken to quickly expedite the visa process for Haitians fleeing the extreme unrest. We must help protect families.

Dear Mrs. Melrose, George (Preston, my Kimmerghame house housemaster in 1977-78:), Fettes Head of School Helen Harrison, (& Michael Stitt), Karen Jones, Fettes Community careers, (Shady Side Academy President Bart Griffith, and Head of Senior School Trixie Sabundayo Pgh PA), MSP Nicola Sturgeon, All,
Greetings!
Thanks so much for the invitation, and your email reply. Looking forward to the Fettes College 'Drinks and Canapés' get together in Washington DC on Wednesday, 4/10/24 - and potentially with my friend T.L., if he can make it.
"red Alpine catchfly: Fettes College - Drinks and Canapés' get-together, in Washington DC? * Scotland World University and School online for Scottish students from home + " ... blog post too)- from about 12 minute marker (with an aging reversal machine thinking preceding this, in a Google Street View ROOM with time slider, conceptually, and which room could be used as part of a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery too ... and Per Michael Stitt's previous work at The Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh) ... Some complex networking thinking follows, and to communicate with you further about this before the Fettes College 'Drinks and Canapés" in Washington DC on W 4/10/24. In networking in DC in particular, MIT OCW-centric could be seeking recent Fettes College graduates to matriculate at WUaS this autumn and for free online MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees from home in Scotland (e.g. Bachelor, and or AA, and Master's, etc), and from whatever countries recent Fettes graduates are living (and see below).
1
M 4/1/24 open @WorldUnivAndSch @WUaSPress WUaS News and Q&A #RevolutionizingEducation #LegoRobotics
(And see the PS below too)
2
In the M 4/1/24 WUaS News and Q&A I also touched on Fettes Career Partnerships' web page -
https://www.fettes.com/familyforlife/careerpartnerships - which appears to be in your bailiwick, Karen (Jones) ... and where WUaS seeks to excel at this, and in WUaS also seeking to hire potentially as many as 2.5 million people over the next 50-75 years (so slightly bigger than WM), in all ~200 countries, and among speakers of all 7164 known living languages. How to plan for this ?
3
MIT OCW-centric
https://ocw.mit.edu/ wiki World Univ & Sch is also interested further in exploring a possible collaboration with Fettes College as an IB World School (with Fettes having become this after I was a student at Fettes from 1977-78) - and for WUaS to offer online free-to-students' IB High School diplomas, or similar, to WUaS students from all 200 countries and in their main languages even ... and which Fettes College would surely benefit from remuneratively, for example.
Brainstorming -
4
As CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric
https://ocw.mit.edu/ wiki World Univ & Sch proceeds further with WUaS Accreditation, with the Middle States Commission on Higher Education MSCHE (with offices in the greater Philadelphia area), WUaS is seeking another 1st year undergraduate class to enroll and begin this autumn. Could some of this student body emerge from Fettes College recent graduates, and could others emerge from Shady Side Academy high school in Pgh PA, the high school I went to before and after my year at Fettes in 1977-78 ? Could the MSCHE accreditation ((and see the PPPPS below), with the state of PA's department of education licensure for WUaS, process, and document writing too, be added to the (above) President of Shady Side Academy Bart Griffith's Master Plan re below "Announcing SSA's Campus Master Plan" and see Bart Griffith's (and see the PPPS below) -
"Our campus is a living resource, and every part of it—every stairwell, lobby, and garden—holds the potential to educate and instill a sense of belonging, "
5
Further networking regarding
and a #Realistic Virtual Earth For Surgery + (where I think Michael Stitt was previously employed)?
And WUaS online Medical School in Scotland especially - with a #
RealisticVirtualEarthForsSurge
ry and physical-digital #
RealisticVirtualEarthForsMedic
ine
+ ... and aging regarding the Royal College of Surgeons too ?
6
Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency for Scotland too - in addition to Fettesians on this trip?
WUaS Corporation, our 3rd legal entity, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California has a partnering email letter from Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency, and how could this benefit Fettes College remuneratively - and possibly regarding WUaS and Fettes getting reimbursement for our free to students' MIT OCW_centric WUaS degrees in Pi cryptocurrency, and possibly from the Scottish Parliament even?
And Michael (Stitt), would you like to offer Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency free money daily to all the old Fettesians and similar whom you meet on your trip to DC and NYC where you, Micahel, and all of you, could start getting Pi cryptocurrency with -
https://minepi.com/sgkmac - and get your own invitation code, and then begin to share this with Feteesians on your development trip as a way to give something to Fettesians?
(And see the PPS below)
7
And in what ways could WUaS with Fettes explore beginning a flagship Physical-Digital WUaS bookstore computer store robotics' store, Educational Services' Department Store in Edinburgh, and for careers and jobs for Fettesians and for other approaches to remuneration for Fettes as well -
8
World Univ & Sch is also seeking to create an online-accessible virtual Bodleian Library
+ at Oxford University in a Google Street View with time slider #
RealisticVirtualEarthForLibrar
ies, and see PPPPPPS below - and for Fettesian (and WUaS worldwide, and Shady Side Academy) students and graduates potentially.
Regarding development questions for Fettes College in all of the above, I personally am still impoverished, and in getting MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS for a song (2 Scottish Small Pipes' albums of tunes, in 2020 and 2022?), but I think there are numerous further opportunities for development in the above, beyond what I've already sketched out. And while the above is a complex web of entrepreneurial opportunities too for Fettes, and Scotland as well ... I think we might be able to explore some of all of this further in the next week leading up to the "Drinks and canapés in Washington DC" soon, and far beyond.
Thanks so much, looking forward to the "Drinks and canapés in Washington DC, on Wednesday 10th April from 6pm – 8pm" and to meeting you Michael, and other old Fettesians, especially.
Best regards,
Scott

Announcing SSA's Campus Master Plan
Dear Shady Side Community,
Building on Shady Side’s proud history of compelling architectural design and effective campus planning, we are excited to share with you later today the vision for the next phase of development for our learning spaces.
Our campus is a living resource, and every part of it—every stairwell, lobby, and garden—holds the potential to educate and instill a sense of belonging, deepening all of our experiences, memories, and emotional connections to Shady Side.
With such student experience top of mind, we seek to even more fully realize our mission through the Academy's spaces and have prioritized the following principles in our design: - Relationship Building & Student Engagement
- Connected Community
- Interdisciplinary, Real-World Learning
As we have designed and built, we have been mindful of community health and safety and, as a 140-year-old school with an aging physical plant, those concepts that set us up for the most sustainable future possible. The plan includes energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly designs, including the smart, adaptive repurposing of underutilized campus spaces.
As a credit to the pioneers who so thoughtfully designed SSA’s Senior School in the early 1920s, our campus has continued to adapt well to new circumstances, one of the primary markers of its greatness. Over the past century, Shady Side has continued to preserve the campuses’ most cherished characteristics, while also responding to growth, change, and renewal.
We are fortunate to enjoy such a beautiful, inspiring campus, one that has been developed as a result of the talents and generosity of so many. I trust the original architects and visionaries of SSA would be proud we remain a school on the move—and that we are building upon their brilliant designs to help both the institution and our current students face the challenges of today.
The journey is shaping us in dynamic new ways. We look forward to sharing more with you later today!
Best wishes, Bart Griffith ’93
