...team in the Ivy League with an unblemished non-conference slate, awaits the Crimson for Sunday’s game in Philadelphia. This weekend’s match-up will answer a lot of questions about how prepared the Crimson is to make a run at the league title. First-year players will play a big part in answering those questions. With twelve freshmen on Harvard’s twenty-one-player roster, the team will have to grow up quickly if it wants to turn its early challenges into league success. “We’ve played...
...Harvard falls short: the University does not do enough to hire and retain good teachers. Year in, year out, Harvard puts poor instructors at the helm of some of the College’s most important foundational courses, while letting some of its best instructors slip away.Take Economics 1010b, the intermediate macroeconomic theory course required of all economics concentrators who lack a background in multivariable calculus. Four years ago, the course registered a mediocre 3.2 out of five in the CUE guide, and three years ago it notched a 3.3. While not terrible, these ratings should have signaled a pressing...
...such campaigners actually examine the system they so heartily applaud. At Oxford, and other schools with similar artificially constructed communities, students are segregated not by interest or choice, but by random fortune.

This would be all well and good if it made them happier or, as its supporters claim, broadened their horizons. But in reality, this makes many students feel limited, isolated and unhappy. Those who don?...
Although yesterday’s game showed that the young Harvard women’s soccer team is still learning, one player—first-year keeper Lauren Mann—took the opposition to school. The freshman posted the first shutout of her young career in helping the Crimson (0-5-1, 0-0-0 Ivy) post a much-needed 0-0 tie against St. Mary’s (1-5-2) in its final match at the Harvard Invitational. “The freshmen are stepping into a huge role for us,” captain Laura Odorczyk...
...Gregory Mankiw (guess which one worked in the Bush administration!) and you’ll be able to justify all manner of evil. It’s practical, painless, and potentially profitable. Best of all, you’ll be done with Social Analysis, right off the first-year bat. BAM!But for that rare Harvard student with a soul, the punishment for avoiding the freshman year Ec 10 route is having to take a Social Analysis somewhere down the line. But never fear! There are several perfectly amenable options to knock off this core without dropping a sweat?...
