...Fyodor lives in a world of emigres; their cards of identity have been canceled, the houses they built of them have collapsed. In Fyodor's mind the irony inherent in the lives of displaced persons becomes explicit; it becomes a dancing landscape, in which his private Russian past of butterflies, poetry and childhood games blurs into the hateful Berlin present of landladies, "Germani-cally stupid" language students, and menacing politics, as the Weimar Republic, "oppressive as a headache," clumsily snuffles toward its collapse. Fyodor's trilingual life enables Nabokov to play complicated games with the meanings of words...
...beachhead in the Introductory course offerings in mathematics, physics, and (excepting possibly Chem. 2) chemistry. Whatever the reasons for the absence of the Gen Ed spirit (e.g., the importance of graduate students, the highly formal substance of a field), funneling non-concentrators into an introductory course might bring about explicit discussion of the "relevance" of the field, and at the very least would assure all students of solid ground on which to build their ideas of the field's relevance, whether these ideas were then formulated privately or in a Gen Ed course assuming the introductory course as background...
...however, it has not been necessary to express these attitudes toward women in explicit terms, because there are moral arguments available-arguments which have the disadvantages of prudery, hypocrisy, and dishonesty, but the overwhelming merit of evading the issue. It seems quite unlikely that, if parietal rules did not exist, twentieth-century Harvard would feel a moral need to impose them, but the rules are there and very convenient for the Masters...
Sometimes his sketches were nothing more than a two-line remembrance of the way a bit of hill met the sky or the strange slant to a tenement roof; often they were more explicit, recording texture and light as well as line, color as well as shape. By the time of his death in 1906. White had done well over a thousand drawings and watercolors; 40 of them were on view last week at Manhattan's Davis Galleries, exquisite if minor testaments to a major architect's first great love...
Whether or not the College should recognize the African and Afro-American Association, despite its explicit racial discrimination, remains an open question. The moral objection to discrimination is not that it involves making distinctions between people, but that the racial distinctions involved are rationally indefensible and lead to social evil. The most relevant criterion in evaluating the AAAA would thus seem to be, not the legalistic implications of its membership clause, but the effect the group will have upon the concrete educational experience of an important number of undergraduates--whether it will, in fact, lead to social evil within...
