...tailoring programs to better reflect the local culture. For example, in rural India, where income is determined by crop and animal breeding cycles, researchers are studying “how much flexibility microfinance clients can handle over loan payments that doesn’t increase the likelihood of default,” said assistant professor of economics Erica Field, who also spoke yesterday. “They presented economic research not in a boring back-room sort of way but in a really active way and having an international component,” said Rohan Kekre...
...really, it’s hard to get angry at CampusTap for merely providing options. The default choice for blogs on the site is to be public—it takes a concerted effort (at least, clicking a checkbox) to hide away in the sealed enclave.

...concerned, if the 20th century was the age of the box, the 21st is fast becoming the age of the wiggle.

Thanks to a combination of insistent forward thinking by architects and ever more ingenious computer-design software, buildings that once...
...through two-time Individuals champion Michelle Quibell of Yale early on, in the quarterfinals. Quibell’s only losses this season had come to Lorentzen—once in the Crimson’s 5-4 win in New Haven, and once when Quibell defaulted in the Howe Cup tournament. Heading into the individual tournament, almost everyone anticipated a heated showdown between the graduating veteran Quibell and the up-and-coming rookie Lorentzen. Everyone, that is, except Grigg—and Lorentzen herself. “I totally thought Kyla had a shot to beat...
...must continue.The principal goal of moving the selection of concentrations to the middle of sophomore year is to allow students to make a more informed choice of concentration. In the absence of experience with many of Harvard’s fields of study, incoming students gravitate toward a default set of familiar courses and, in turn, concentrations. A freshman interested in both business and medical school may take Chemistry 5 and 7, Ec 10, and Math 1a and 1b her freshman year, barely leaving room for Core Curriculum and Expository Writing requirements, much less any real academic exploration.
