...members of the student advisory group—Whitney S. F. Baxter ’07, Katherine A. Beck ’08, and Vivek G. Ramaswamy ’07—are the College representatives of the group, whose members are from all schools of the University, except for the School of Dental Medicine and the Extension School. Matthew J. Murray, a joint-degree student at the Kennedy School of Government and Harvard Law School, leads the group. Wednesday’s meeting was open to all undergraduates, though Baxter, Beck, and Ramaswamy targeted the meeting to members...
...lectures tend toward disorganization, with lots of confusing slides, which makes the class boring but pretty easy. Speaking of slides, there’s B-21, “The Images of Alexander the Great.” The course is a legendary gut, and requires little actual work except for some slide memorization exam time.

...idiosyncrasies, actually seem to care about teaching (perhaps because they’re both recent transfers from Washington University in St. Louis.) The more grandfatherly of the two, Joshua R.

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." This is already an improvement over BibleGateway, which needs to be told to provide the verse in context. Better still, if I tell eBible to, the verse...
...corner table, you'd find a cast of political characters drawn in bold Texas strokes-men with firm handshakes and loud laughs, men who had been nurtured by LBJ and knew politics, by and large, for that matter, mostly men. Most women in the room then were decorative. Except Ann Richards, the onetime Texas governor with the sharp tongue and quick wit, who died Wednesday at the age of 73 after a battle with cancer...
