Professor Frankfurter gives us some much-needed perspective: Agonizing over the university's spiritual well-being has been de rigeur for much of the "Harvard century," if not longer. The 1990s may be a bleak time in terms of civic engagement, but at least on a comparative scale, so too were the 1930s...
