...post-Sept. 11 poetry: the American natural anthem and bird calls played beneath and between his stanzas, as Ferlinghetti raised and lowered the volume by hand for emphasis. “What’s really amazing is that his work [from the 1950s] is still dynamic, resonant, and conscious today,” said Daniel Tobin, a member of the Poetry Club and chair of the Department of Writing, Literature and Publishing at Emerson College. The pieces Ferlinghetti selected addressed themes ranging from T.S. Eliot’s romanticism to his own upbringing in Brooklyn to what he called...
...consequently never feel comfortable about being Christians here. That Harvard is no longer the Puritan institution it was more than 300 years ago is no travesty: the school is bound to become less Christian in aspiring to student diversity.

It was the season also when the British monarch traditionally speaks to his subjects as a parent on matters close to all their hearts. By radio from Sandringham last week, Elizabeth told her subjects in a warm, clear voice: "Many...
...Boathouses. The men’s and women’s programs have combined for 30 national titles. Olympic boats—both from the U.S. and many other countries—quite often have a Crimson tint to them. I’ve been spoiled most of my conscious life by Oklahoma football and Kansas basketball, though even their frustrating collapses on the biggest of stages pale in comparison to the consistency of Harvard’s crew programs.But enough about success. The trophies and photos enshrined in both Newell and Weld are testament enough to that.Rowing, both...
