...contrast, there’s very little original thinking in this year’s much-hyped review. If we’re lucky, we’ll come out of this “overhaul” with a revised calendar structure, touched-up core requirements and improvements to advising. A few dramatic suggestions have been floated, but none really speaks to the core issues of education, and none is original—for instance a January term and the possibility of dropping grades for first-years (both already at MIT).

But in evolutionary terms it seems strangely inefficient to have all those eggs sitting around for decades, slowly going bad. Men, by contrast, churn out new sperm all the time. Insects make new eggs too, well into maturity. "Fruit flies know fresh eggs are better than stale," says Jonathan Tilly, a reproductive biologist at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. "So why shouldn't mammals...
