...acceptable not to know a gene from a chromosome or the meaning of exponential growth.” Unfortunately, as Summers may now know after a year in the job, it is, in fact, extremely common for hundreds of students to graduate Harvard each year without reading a chapter of Kant or an act of Macbeth while in Cambridge. The task for those involved in the review of undergraduate education must not only be to improve the quality of scientific education to prepare students for the technological developments of the next century but also to revitalize the teaching...
Strange days are exactly what found the Harvard-Radcliffe Class of 1972 during their first year in the spring of 1969.

...health-focused student groups. The big news of the night was when the meeting’s chair Aaron Y. Huang ’04, who is a member of the IOP’s Science and Technology Policy Group, announced that he is planning to launch a Harvard chapter of Student Pugwash USA, a national student group that discusses ethical issues stemming from scientific advances. (It is modeled on The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1995.) Huang encouraged those present to get involved...
