...debauchery of Spring Break doesn’t happen at Harvard every weekend—and it’s not because of the weather. There is not exactly an abundance of focus on the social here at school. Not only must we deal with Massachusetts’ archaic blue laws and Harvard’s lack of a student center, but even more importantly, we must contend with out own driven, competitive and success-oriented mentality. Harvard might not provide the space for us to have a good time, but we’re the ones who don?...
...Under Rug Swept, she plays man: “I have been blamed / And I have repented / I’m working my way toward our union mended” on “A Man.” On one level, she addresses the “archaic reputation” burdening the relationship between man and woman. Yet on a deeper level, this is Morissette’s confession of being too harsh with her blame, and her desire to mend her relationship with humankind, and herself...
...twelve paintings are arranged in a narrative sequence, reading from left to right, that engulfs the viewer in a virtually full circle. In eight of the panels, the canvas is filled like the sea, with varying washes of aqua and occupied with skeletal and archaic linear motifs of ships that are often obscured by explosions of saturated and fiery color.

And the import of decisions today, decisions made by the bureaucratic cogs that run this venerable institution, will most likely never make anyone’s life easier or more enriching. At least not today. But the crystal ball is half-full, not half-empty. Mixing metaphors obfuscates the point but—to the rescue—the Rev. Peter J. Gomes, Plummer...
...these elements demonstrate the contemporary relevance of this rather archaic and fastidious art form, but daguerreotypy would forever remain in the realm of quaint anachronism were it not for the plates’ absolutely stunning qualities. Museum-supplied magnifying glasses allow for detailed scrutiny of the plates and reveal the incredible resolution produced by accomplished artists. Where photographs enlarged to increasing degrees will at some upper threshold reveal halftone dots and grainy images, daguerreotypes are virtually flawless in that even at highest magnification, the images never blur or distort...
