...Harvard will provide Mormon undergraduates with a sort of mission. Harvard's regenerative effect on Mormons works best when Mormons broadly sample life here; a Mormon student here should not spend all his or her time in the church, Peterson says. They should get involved, he says, go to "cocktail parties and bashes." But, he quickly adds, "you don't have to go home drunk and hit a telephone pole or go home with the wrong woman...
