...monastery is run by the American congregation of the Society of St. John the Evangelist (SSJE), founded in 1865 in England by Richard Benson. This monastic order grew directly out of the Oxford movement, which wrested the control of the Anglican Church from the hands of the English State. Theologically, the movement sought to restore the practices of the church to their original condition, as they were long before the Reformation.

Others express concern that the star system skews the age distribution of senior faculty and overlooks young, potentially brilliant scholars. "The procedures prescribed by Harvard for making tenure appointments worry me for this reason--they may be somewhat slanted against younger people. In my field of English, the younger a person is, the less likely he is heard of outside the university.
