Physics Professor Gerald Gabrielse’s trip to north of the Arctic Circle in Finland to give the opening talk of a conference placed him “right in the path of the unexpected volcanic dust from Iceland,” he wrote in an e-mail to his quantum mechanics class...
Last week, Harvard students received an e-mail notifying them of the new opportunity to apply for borrowing privileges at several of MIT’s libraries. Correct us if we’re wrong, but this veritable “meeting of the minds” could lead to a whole lot more than book sharing. Honestly, it’s about time that these two prestigious institutions recognized the power they could possess if they joined forces—pooling everything in an effort to dominate the People’s Republic in which they currently battle...

Maybe their technicians could take a crack at the Stone Age-style Faculty of Arts and Sciences account, which has been known to black out after more than 15 emails accrue in an inbox.

Shopping period may once have been useful, it’s true—back in the days before syllabi could be posted online or that questioner could e-mail the professor instead. But today, much more information beyond a one-paragraph course description can and must be made available several months before a semester begins. We should take advantage of that—and abolish the shopping period that it has made obsolete...
