...would rather say meditation. All forms of poetry and art should also be very valuable to them...
...Crimson mentor Art Valpey's debut neared in 1948, the veteran Columbia squad, coached by Lou Little and paced by quarterback Gene Rossides and halfback Lou Kusserow, was a solid favorite. The Lions rolled up 26 first downs, a record for the school, and 480 yards gained, but this was not enough. Harvard scored four of the first six times it had the ball, on a 60-yard run, a 16-yard pass after a running play had covered 54 yards, an 18-yard rush after a backfield fumble, and a 36-yard touchdown throw. The score at the half...
...often, these two categories--intellectual achievement and moral character--are divided from one another as if they were not only separate but also mutually exclusive.

What is not so often stressed is the necessity, and desirability, of moral judgements in history, or the fact that criticism of a work of art is itself a moral action. The whole academic world is involved with morality, but the distinction between "objective" investigation and "subjective" judgment can at times serve...

Avid Egyptophiles can learn about the art of Karnak and Tutankamon's tomb next year in Fine Arts 131, but they cannot discover the history of the various dynasties. Students of Minoan or Cretan developments have only Professor Hanfmann's course in Aegean archaeology--next year--without a corresponding History course...

The study of ancient civilizations might provide a fruitful framework for an inter-disciplinary approach, with courses presenting the art, history, political institutions, and philosophies of these ancient cultures on the successful pattern of Soc Sci 111. Harvard may not accommodate a Breasted, but it could certainly enrich its history curriculum with studies of Memphis or Ikhnaton, of Nebuchadrezzar of Chaldea--a sore deficiency in the University at present...
