...rest of the Harvard campus. Undeniably, intent on preserving this socio-economic tradition of the “upper class” and the “privileged,” The Salient has ultimately defaced and maligned the conservative message.

Patrick ’78 tomorrow at an event that will honor each man’s service to the state’s community of African-American males. Counter, an associate professor of neurology and neuroscience, will receive the recognition from the Concerned Black Men of Massachusetts largely for his work within the greater Boston community, in particular the science programs he has conducted to encourage more young black boys and girls to go into science...
