...worth noting here that Harvard’s higher leadership was utterly absent during this building conflict. In an interview with The New York Times last month, Robert E. Rubin ’60, a member of the Corporation that appoints Harvard’s president, professed no knowledge of Summers’ troubles with the faculty. This oversight is inexcusable. In the future, the Corporation must take a more active role in ensuring that the president actually functions within the university. It seems likely that corrective action from the Corporation at an early period could have headed off this...
...member of the 160-strong company, however, will be conspicuously absent. He is Keith (Matt) Maupin, the only American soldier who is unaccounted for in Iraq. Ten months ago, insurgents ambushed a convoy guarded by the 724th and took Private First Class Maupin, then 20, captive. There have been conflicting reports on his fate.

Apart from the advising nights when representatives of each concentration descend upon dining halls to promote their fields, there rarely is reason to see a faculty member eat with students. It would be fascinating to discover how much professors who more recently arrived at Harvard know about the Houses: do they know their locations? Do they know that Dunster is not just a street, and Eliot not just a former University president...
...first action since a disheartening loss to Trinity, Harvard played shorthanded in Saturday’s contest against Penn (8-4, 3-3). Absent from the Crimson’s ladder were Suchde and Oren, who had competed at the No. 1 and 3 spots respectively against the Bantams...
