Students in History of Science 125: “Cultures of Experiment” learn about the intersection of science and culture just as they might in any other departmental class. But they also hear about Germany’s Halloween celebrations, beer festivals, and regional dynamics.That is because the professor of this nine-person class is Henning Schmidgen, who is visiting Harvard for a year from the Max Planck Institute in Berlin, Germany.“Professor Schmidgen is definitely one of the most unique professors I’ve ever had,” says Alfredo...
...expecting too much, since Tuesday isn’t exactly Mardi Gras at most clubs in Boston. After getting carded (Puritans!) and paying the $10 cover, we noticed two things: the attractive, brass-railed bar and the attractive, smiling bartender, who furnished us with an equally attractive beer. Onstage were a bunch of guys who looked like they were having fun: a bluegrass-rock band called Old School Freight Train. The band included a mandolin, fiddle, and banjo in addition to the regular stuff, and they were awesome; it was one of those performances that lasts more than an hour...
...students. Thus, tailgates continued into the third and fourth quarter, drinking games were played, and giddy young adults gyrated atop U-Hauls in tune with blaring pop and hip-hop. Apparently, and this is no doubt news to Captain Evans, tailgating safety can be ramped up without quashing beer-fueled merriment.

...hope for the best. Of course, the FDO, in accordance with Massachusetts law, hasn’t changed its rule about alcohol in the freshman dorms, but we find it likely that responsible, discreet freshmen will continue to pass around a stein on occasion. And should they get caught beer-handed, first-time freshmen offenders will now be asked to have a chat with their proctors, in what will be a far more constructive and less disciplinary conversation. But small social gatherings will not reinvigorate freshman social life on their own, especially for the less extroverted freshmen. We applaud...
...humble locations such as, uh, the sidewalk. Danny Meyer (of Blue Smoke, the Modern and Tabla fame) last year unveiled a ?roadside? food stand in New York City's Madison Square Park. The Shake Shack serves up affordable fare like cheeseburgers, crinkle-cut fries, hot dogs, frozen custard, beer and even breakfast?you can eat your warm heirloom apple fritter and Shack-a-ccino (total: $5.31) on a folding plastic chair under the shade of a tree. In nearby Bryant Park stand four 'wichcraft kiosks, offering such gourmet handheld meals as stone-ground grits ($4) and marinated white anchovy...
