Picking concentrations is often most successful through the process of elimination. Hist 10a is as ancient as the gray-haired profs who run the department. You’re afraid of heights, so William James Hall and anthropology are out (wimp). “Complex Fourier Analysis?” Nice try, Linguistics. Decision-making causes migraines and impairs all sense of judgment, so you head to the Kong, have a scorpion bowl, and surmise Seoul might be a good place to live (those OCS emails about teaching SAT’s in South Korea will finally have some purpose...
...History were a final club, History 10a and 10b would be one hell of a yearlong punch. Rough in practice but with marked reward, these two classes are the hazing in the History concentrator’s academic experience. Required of all concentrators until the 2006-2007 school year, both are Western history survey courses that cover thousands of years–in just one year. Much like the curriculum and readings, the makeup of the classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard...
Finally, English 10a and 10b both fulfill this Core area. There are pros and cons to taking either to fulfill this Core requirement. On the one hand, you’d be up against those English concentrators who break down sonnets like it’s their job, and the reading list won’t be very focused (unless you consider “excerpts from the Western Canon” focused). On the other hand, you’ll be dealing with classic texts that are either (a) a joy to read or (b) great to say that...
There may be some in the department who would prefer to scrap the sophomore tutorial altogether and substitute some sort of additional distributional requirement in its place—a move akin to the History department’s decision to knock off the History 10a requirement. Certainly such a move would please faculty who view teaching Gob 97b—or nearly any course that does not closely align with a particular research interest—as a “service” task. We urge the government department not to submit to this temptation...
...against sophomore starter Shelly Madick. Madick absorbed the loss, falling to 6-4 on the season. She allowed five hits and walked three while striking out two. Junior Lauren Brown was 3-for-4 with a run scored, and freshman Bailey Vertovez scored a pair of runs.BROWN 11, HARVARD 10A Harvard victory was all but guaranteed until a wild seventh inning turned it into a heartbreakingly surreal loss.It was all Crimson up until the game’s final frame. Harvard seized an early lead on junior Julia Kidder’s first-inning RBI single, and the scoring didn?...
