...says Charly Herscovici, head of the Magritte Foundation: "Brussels needs a Magritte museum just like Paris has a Picasso museum and Amsterdam a Van Gogh museum." Housed in the prim, neoclassical Hotel Altenloh just a stone's throw from the Royal Palace, the Magritte Museum is part of the complex of buildings that comprise Belgium's Royal Museums of Fine Art. But the sober-minded setting is something of a deception: echoing the artist's mischievous streak, the museum's windows have been replaced by realistic paintings of plump clouds against a blue...
...hope to spread a little of what makes me happy,” Constantino wrote in an e-mailed statement yesterday. “I look forward to becoming more involved in the community here. I hope I can help students reach for their intellectual potential, navigate the complex social scene, and deal with any challenges they might encounter.” In the selection process for a new resident dean, undergraduate residents of Cabot were consulted to narrow down the field of applicants.

According to University spokeswoman Lauren Marshall, a second funding installment of the same amount is due in January. “We remain firmly...
...doubt, for the council has often appeared more self-important than productive. But as the elected student government, the UC has always held a great deal of potential. Created by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the UC’s responsibility is to advocate for students in a complex and decentralized Harvard administration. Even though the mission of the council is straightforward, it has never been easily accomplished. The UC has become a whipping post for students frustrated by the lack of student input in college and university wide decisions. While fingers often point to a hyper-political council...
