...Monthly Editor James M. Fallows ’70, a former President of The Harvard Crimson, in two hours wrote and placed an op-ed in the Washington Post to blow the whistle on an egregious move by opponents of the design. People with connections to Harvard were numerous among those who made the wall possible...
...University’s 42 years of insistence that the Reserve Officer Training Corps cannot have a place on campus. I believe that Crimson editorial writer Brian J. Buldoc ’10’s opinion piece supporting lifting the ban spots the main obstacle: among faculty members, antipathy for the military is concomitant to the ban. In talks with Harvard students and graduates in last winter, I found that the majority favor lifting the ban on ROTC; they, and I, feel that the ban makes a negative statement about those in the military now, stigmatizing young...

...prefrosh are not alone in their interest in research. In a survey conducted among students concentrating in the sciences at Harvard in 2008-09 by the Student Advisory Board for Science, 80 percent of the respondents said they believe that research is an important part of their science education. But what are the real benefits of an undergraduate research experience? Why should advisors encourage students to get involved in research? And if we agree that it is important, how can Harvard stay competitive with its peer institutions in providing undergraduates in the sciences with research opportunities...
