...remote figure, unwilling to listen to others. The danger of his being perceived as aloof is real, however. Kirby, a famous scholar of Imperial China, should be all too cognizant of the dangers of having University Hall seem like Harvard’s equivalent of Beijing’s Forbidden City: a walled compound, ostensibly in the middle of things, but really isolated and insulated from the real world all around it—a sheltered haven for a tiny elite, penetrable only to their chosen advisors...
