With an economy growing at about 8% a year and corporate earnings a robust 25%, India has become a must-see for multinational investment banks looking for big, bold corporate mergers, acquisitions and financing deals outside the U.S. The country's total market cap reached $1 trillion earlier this year, up from just $280 billion five years ago.

By not familiarizing the incoming freshman class with Gen Ed as well as the Core, Harvard has betrayed its discomfort and confusion with the new program. The final vote last May was supposed to provide us with a bold new direction; instead it has left us adrift. This reservation is not, however, unwarranted. General Education remains so underdeveloped that at this point, it would be impossible to guide students into the system. This is hardly surprising to us; the imperative to satisfy each micro-constituency in the Faculty could...
