...cannot shake this sense of despair that our own generation might fade having lingered too long brooding in the shadow of their failure. Too often, we fight for our ideals in our parents’ same tired tradition—sit-ins, teach-ins, walk-outs, et cetera. It seems right, and yet sometimes I wonder whether they are staged more for our own peace-of-mind than for the effectiveness of their persuasion...
...Education (GSE) and the undergraduate community. Seton suggests a GSE “equivalent of the Institute of Politics—a center designed to get undergrads involved and interested in education. It could have all sorts of study groups: hot topics in education, seminars with guest scholars, et cetera.” And within the existing options, most students don’t take advantage of the cross-registration options for undergrads at the GSE. Students can take classes ranging from American educational policy to method-specific classroom approaches. These are probably the best way to spark interest...
Take the bell curve for example. Students sit down for lecture on the first day, and their grades have already been determined. True, each individual has not yet been given a grade, but the number of A’s, A-‘s, et cetera, is already decided. If grades are supposed to be a measure of each student’s eventual mastery of the course material, how can a professor have figured out the grades before students have even been taught?

That frisson of conflict between public and private man is part of the irresistible appeal of Gielgud's Letters, published this week. The 800-plus missives, written between 1912 and 1999, reveal a complex, often outrageous, character. Not only is Gielgud open to his closest confidantes about his sexual proclivities...
