...wasn’t 173 yards, but it was enough to get the job done. Senior running back Clifton Dawson moved 120 yards closer to Ed Marinaro's all-time Ivy League career rushing mark and scored two touchdowns as Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) beat Columbia (3-5, 0-5 Ivy) 24-7 in front of 11,716 fans on Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium. A much improved Lion defense appeared to have recovered from a 55-7 pounding at the hands of the Crimson a year ago, as it held Harvard to a tie for its lowest...
Usually sagacious, Steven Pinker writes like a philistine about faith and reason (“Less Faith, More Reason,” op-ed, Oct. 27). What is faith? Ill-founded belief, he writes, anathema to the university. What is reason? “Pure and simple...

As a consequence, he believes, we should reconsider the “Reason and Faith” requirement in the Report of the Committee on General Education. At best, this statement can be interpreted as hyperbole; looking at census data worldwide, in which religious affiliation is generally self-reported, 16 percent of those surveyed identified themselves...
