...Garber’s comparison of art and science. “Both are inquiries into the truth and complexity of life.” Garber’s book comes at a time when Harvard is in the midst of an effort to revitalize the arts on campus. University President Drew G. Faust created a 20-person task force last year to evaluate the role of arts at Harvard. The task force is chaired by fellow English Professor Stephen Greenblatt, in addition to student and faculty membership. The College unveiled new secondary fields in music and dramatic arts, giving...

...Democrats, while fewer than 100,000 are Republicans. No age breakdown is available, but election experts agree a majority of those new voters are under age 30. Zach Moller, a senior economics major and president of the University of Florida Democrats, says 2,500 UF students registered on campus on the first day of classes last month; that number has doubled since then and he expects it to have doubled again by the state's Oct. 6 deadline.
