...social awakening often kindles a cultural one. Once in the return part of the curve, many Asian Americans go from downplaying their differences to highlighting them. In fourth grade, Akira Heshiki, who grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, dropped out of the Japanese-language school she attended each Saturday because she didn't feel Japanese. Instead she treasured the moments when her high school classmates told her, "I always forget you're Japanese." But once at Oregon's Reed College, where more than 10% of the students were Asian American, she began to embrace her heritage. She started the Asian student...

...built-in crowds of their friends. Harvard bands need a place to rock out, and Hilles’ fourth floor should offer both the practice and performance space they need, far from the eardrums of students in their dorm rooms. (Incidentally, McLoughlin assured students that Hilles’ museum-grade concrete would restrict sound to the fourth floor.)We applaud the College for renovating the fourth floor with an eye towards the needs of students (not just student groups), and especially towards Quad residents. Although undergraduate housing will likely be relocated from the Quad in the next two decades after...
