...light of these past missed opportunities, we welcome and applaud University President Lawrence H Summers’ decision, last week, to give $6 million to fund the renovation of Hilles, the construction of a permanent pub in Loker, and a café in Lamont. His contribution is an affirmation of his oft-stated belief that the College and undergraduates are the heart of the University. Each of these initiatives is sorely needed in a campus that has clearly been lacking in common student social space for so long...
Replete with a mechanical bull, dunk tank, cow-milking, and pie-eating, last Friday’s Harvard State Fair was a resounding success. We applaud the Office of the Dean, and particularly the duo of Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin II and Campus Life Fellow Justin H.

...heartily applaud the hard work that Harvard University Health Services has invested in developing the Delta Dental option for students.

You're right to applaud women who embrace midlife. For those of us over 50, things just keep getting better. It is a true time of empowerment. Audrey C. Van Voorhis Port Orchard, Washington, U.S. Your story was overblown. We all go through soul searching, men and teenagers included. Women should remember that everyone...
...about the public trust that you hold. Or at least held. Valarie S. Zeeck Tacoma, Washington, U.S. Time did the right thing. As a lawyer and a Democrat, I wish the Supreme Court had heard Time's appeal and protected the confidentiality of its reporter's sources. Still, I applaud Pearlstine for making the principled decision to follow the rule of law, much as he believes the law should be different. We don't have to like laws, orders or rulings. But unless we are anarchists, we should follow them. Rich McLeod Kansas City, Missouri, U.S. As a college journalism...
