...three pointers in the first half and was 11-for-23 for the game. Freshmen Adam Gore and Brian Keefer each hit four threes, several from well beyond the arc, and were the high scorers for the game with 16 and 14 points, respectively. Harvard, by contrast, made only 3-of-18 of its three-point attempts and shot only 28% from the floor for the game. Adding to the Crimson’s problems offensively were turnovers. Harvard turned the ball over twenty times on the game, and made just fourteen field goals. In the first half, the squad...
...without precedent. In 2000, Princeton University, which has a considerably smaller graduate student population than Harvard, had one graduate student and two undergraduates on its 18-member presidential search committee. Stanford, too, named one undergraduate and one graduate student to its 15-member search committee in 1999. By contrast, Summers was selected by a committee consisting of six members of the Harvard Corporation and three members of the alumni-elected Board of Overseers. Harvard cannot afford to limit the role of faculty and students again; this time we must ensure that students and faculty have a central role in selecting...

...social sciences and the humanities, to certify additional departmental courses that meet a particular Core requirement while maintaining their departmental administration.Currently, for example, there is a single departmental course (Music 2, “Foundations of Tonal Music”) that satisfies the Literature and Arts B requirement. In contrast, there are 17 departmental courses (ranging from introductory geology to organic chemistry to mechanics and relativity) that satisfy the Science A requirement. The fact that there tend to be more extra-departmental “Core” courses in the social sciences and the humanities than in the sciences...
...criticism: “You can always reject the analysis. You’ve read it, you enjoy it, you can ignore what the professor has to say.”Those who do possess these tools then affect an amused detachment from whichever genre inter-ests them. By contrast, the guy with the mutton chops and the Whitesnake t-shirt, though he may love his hair metal, doesn’t really “understand” it.For Teskey, this is the study of pop culture at its worst. “I don’t think...
