...this academic focus on theme over method reflects a broader pedagogical recognition that students can learn multiples modes of inquiry by researching just one theme—a realization behind the reform of Harvard’s Core Curriculum into thematic General Education areas. Moreover, as Etienne Benson, a graduate student who chairs Harvard’s animal history group, notes, the multidisciplinary nature of animal studies fosters dialogue. At a recent meeting of the group, Aramont Professor of the History of Science and Darwin scholar Janet Browne engaged with MIT cultural historian Harriet Ritvo on the history of sheep...
...says Murphy, whose last summer internship entailed swimming with sharks in the Bahamas. His right hand still bears a distinct scar from an encounter gone awry. Murphy hopes that this past experience will give him an edge amongst over 34,000 competitors, including Cabot House resident Thomas R. Benson ’09. Benson says he applied in the hopes of getting “basically a paid vacation.” On the other side of campus, Lowell resident Zuleyka D. Bonilla ’10, another applicant, made a public plea over the Lowell open house e-mail...
...Katie Rollins, made a large contribution with her inside presence, which amounted to nine rebounds and four hard-earned points from under the basket.

Sloan says even attempting to find a scientific basis for a link between prayer and healing is a "fool's errand...
...classic carols and Scripture readings, the format was developed in 1880 by Edward White Benson, who later served as Archbishop of Canterbury. The service was originally used by cathedrals and churches connected with British colleges and schools. Because the school terms ended before Christmas, the service gave the students and faculty a way of observing the holiday several weeks early. In 1918, however, it was modified by Eric Milner-White, the Dean of King's College, Cambridge, for a festival held on Christmas Eve. The format took off and has remained basically unchanged ever since. (See people finding...
