...scene is remembered for the much-imitated smooch at the shoreline, but it's more mature and complicated than that. From Here to Eternity helped Hollywood approach themes of sexual yearning and remorse in a more mature fashion.

Eager Harvard freshmen attending a session on “Making the Most of Office Hours” yesterday grabbed treats along with tips on how to approach professors from a distinguished faculty panel, including the former dean of the College, Leverett Professor of Mathematics Benedict H. Gross ’71. For those in search of the secret for how to manage the initial one-on-one encounter with a professor, the main advice of the evening seemed to be simply...
