...University of California, Northeastern, and even Nassau Community College. In terms of addressing climate change, we lag behind not only these three colleges, but also behind almost 500 colleges who have pledged to go “climate neutral.” Each of these schools has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions, but our university is conspicuously absent. As a world and university leader, Harvard has a duty to commit to setting a date for climate neutrality and so demonstrating that sustainability must be a priority for modern institutions...
While these steps are laudable, it is time for Harvard to make the leap and commit to climate neutrality. Failure to do so will put us at risk of losing our position as a climate change leader to the hundreds of schools currently crafting comprehensive plans for climate neutrality. Such a commitment will not be easy, but it is possible and necessary. With green building, energy efficiency, conservation, and renewable energy development, Harvard can reduce its effective emissions to zero...
...Casey should lead DePauw. Victor A. DeCarlo, chair of the DePauw Physics and Astronomy Department, said that Casey should strive “toward the diversification of the student body begun by our current president,” “I would also like to see the university commit more scholarship money toward attracting talented science students,” he said. Casey, who will be DePauw’s 19th president, joined Harvard in 2006 after serving in multiple administrative roles at Brown. He holds a law degree from Stanford—where he was a member...
...fresh and assert themselves on the ice. The visitors’ aggression did allow the Crimson an early power play opportunity, but Quinnipiac’s goalie held tough, and it was the Bobcats who earned one of their few promising opportunities with a shorthanded breakaway. Fraser had to commit a holding penalty on Quinnipiac’s Brandon Wong at 4:42 to prevent a solid shot, and the Bobcats had momentum heading into a powerplay of their own. It was at this point, though, that Harvard’s defense, and particularly sophomore goalie Kyle Richter, proved...
...wish to do so, we are unable to dismiss them as insane. Repeatedly denigrating himself as “the new boy” and just a “flat-foot,” Martens accepts his share of responsibility for the murders he helped commit as part of the secret police. He does not attempt to pass the blame off onto the inevitability of the system.It is unclear to what extent the characters in the novella are conscious of the role they play in the proceedings. A vague sense of emergency lies at the very foundations...
