And Yagan introduces the sensible idea of “a tier of permanent lecturers, hired exclusively for their teaching abilities...
...range even embraces a look at the moral ethos the school should attempt to embody, which is beyond the more technical questions of the mainline Curricular Review emphasis. Robert L. Cioffi ’05 and Katherine DiSalvo ’05 both look beyond mere “veritas” and call for a Harvard education that seeks to inspire its students “to serve thy society and thy kind,” as Dexter Gate instructs...
