...aware that we don’t have a midterm. Confused from this realization, I decided to try to find out what Core criteria actually are before beginning my quest for the Holy Grail of petition approval. I downloaded a 33-page document detailing the philosophy behind the Core Curriculum, the assumptions that helped develop the Core, detailed descriptions of each Core area, recommendations about when to take Cores, and requirements broken down based on concentration. There was one sentence that was sort of applicable to my sojourn: “Before a course can be approved for the Core...

Rather than force them to take remedial courses about this country, catching up to their peers’ years of high school history courses, professors’ refusal to mandate American content in the curriculum gives foreigners a hall pass.

It doesn’t matter if they dress alike; at least they have the confidence...
...Many fault Gross’ occasionally lackluster leadership for the sluggishness of the Harvard College Curricular Review and for the underwhelming new General Education curriculum that it produced. But his tenure nevertheless produced a stunning renaissance in undergraduate advising, including the first comprehensive, fully-funded peer advising program in the College’s history. The Classes of 2010 and 2011 have Gross to thank for the delay in concentration choice and for the College’s formal recognition of secondary fields...
