...centuries later, the Industrial Revolution helped spread the style to the masses, as millions of workers migrated from farmlands to factories and the business class was born. In 1924 an American tailor named Jesse Langsdorf created--and patented--the tie's modern look, with its bias cut and three-piece construction. By the 1950s, it was said that a man wasn't fully dressed until he had put on his tie.

The motion, sponsored by anthropology professor J. Lorand Matory ’82, only talked about free speech to cover his agenda of criticizing pro-Israel bias at the University. Whether or not Matory’s points were valid, his motion was a waste of the Faculty’s time, and the debate that followed—which took up much of November’s as well as December’s Faculty meetings?...
