...other universities. A nearby, far lesser institution (Yale) is engaged in a multimillion dollar project to renovate undergraduate housing. While Harvard students worry about sewage in the basements, Yale students worry about which college will be closed next year for a $70 million face-lift. Of course, Harvard could afford a similar program given that its endowment is 50% larger than Yale’s, but doing so would remove the valuable life lesson Harvard is trying to teach it’s undergraduates: Large corporations that only seek to further their net value often overlook the status of life...

...president of the Harvard Republican Club, said he believed that moving to a system of socialized medicine would be a step in the wrong direction. “I think that it’s important for us to help provide for those who can’t afford health care, possibly through subsidies,” he said. “But I think that there is a huge jump between the goal of everyone having access to health care and actually implementing a socialized system.” Samuel B. Novey ’11, spokesman...
