Swarthmore Hillel may need to take a new name (I suggest the obvious “Shammai”).
Shammai was a pessimist saying "It were better not to have been born."
In the school of Shammai, the Pharisaic principles were carried to the very extreme.
In the neighbourhood there is a cave in which are the sepulchres of Hillel and Shammai.
The Pharisees were no friends of his, especially those who were the disciples of Shammai.
Hillel was broad, tolerant and original; Shammai—narrow, strict, and conservative.
