Among the many causes relating to Lawrence Summers’ downfall, one that is worth dwelling on is the debate over undergraduate general education at Harvard. The college now offers, for example, fewer of the kind of survey courses many undergraduates want and need—the sort of connect-the-dot overviews of the arts and sciences that form the foundation of a liberal education. Understandably, most Harvard faculty members want to teach their specialties. The core curriculum tried to bridge the gap by emphasizing methods of study rather than content, but it doesn’t seem...

I arrived at Lavietes Pavilion just in time for Princeton sharpshooter Kyle Koncz to connect from downtown with 10:42 left to stake the Tigers to a narrow 40-39 lead in the see-saw battle. From that moment on, however, Harvard went on a tear. With Michael Beal knifing through the lane for two acrobatic three-point plays, Matt Stehle grabbing every rebound...
