Simply put, older professors are some of the most valuable teachers at Harvard. The faculty who choose to keep working late into their lives do so out of passion. Often they love to teach and excel at it; others stay on because their eclectic research interests still awaken curiosity even after decades of study; and for many more it is a combination of the two. For undergraduates, the chance to interact with these dynamic professors and hear first-hand about their storied careers is one of the most exciting and unique aspects of being a Harvard student.

Were Harvard to adopt a system like Swarthmore’s—whose tenure process asks students to write letters speaking to the teaching ability of candidates—teachers who truly inspire their students to intellectual pursuit would be as accredited as those who merely excel in the lab. Without this crucial component, Harvard’s tenure system, however marginally improved with the alteration of the blind letter system, will continually fail to bring the most important thing to the classroom...
