...travel policy. Dean of the College Benedict H. Gross ’71 obliged by forming an evaluative committee this fall, and restrictions on 13 countries were lifted in October. The less restrictive policy was greeted with enthusiasm by students, a number of whom are embarking on spring semesters abroad in Kenya, Nigeria, and other areas that were previously barred. Bakshi’s experience should not raise eyebrows, however, as his travel was privately funded, leaving the College less liable for the mishaps he encountered. It is debatable whether, under the current travel policy, funding for research like Bakshi?...

"Wherever I play, my heart will always belong to China," an emotional Peng told TIME during a short break during national-team practice. "Everyone should...

Middlebury and Williams showcase the travel opportunities away from sleepy Vermont and western Massachusetts. But Harvard offers an urban setting with smaller classes than Cornell. And there are already substantial opportunities for students to study abroad both during summer and the semester. Simply put, Harvard doesn’t need a J-Term. Students would be better off with a longer winter break, during which they could take advantage of optional, J-Term-like activities if they so chose. If J-Term is about choice...
