...Corrigan, the University of Pennsylvania’s Director of Cinema Studies, calls in an e-mail “a central cultural and intellectual force in society.” The formerly avant-garde field is evolving into a downright standard presence at major schools, and the departments boast distinguished faculty, modern facilities, and filled-to-capacity courses.VES Professor in Film Studies David N. Rodowick instructs one such course—the first film class offered in the Core curriculum, Literature & Arts B-11, “The Art of Film.” Despite the red-hot student...

In the increasingly competitive Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League (EISL), the Crimson must fight even harder to maintain its dominance. The Lions finished fourth in the league last year, but this season have defeated both Harvard and Yale and boast a strong freshman class. “I don’t think that we underperformed in this meet,” Wollner said. “Columbia beat Yale last weekend, and they have a great team with great recruits. They have a deep team, and we just came...
