...donors are alumni. For instance, Eli Broad, who with his wife pledged $100 million to a stem-cell research institute at Harvard this past year, is a Michigan State grad. In fact, the three biggest donations to the University in fiscal year 2006 all came benefactors who don’t have Harvard degrees. Donations from non-alums have allowed Harvard to keep its fundraising numbers up, even if alums aren’t opening their checkbooks...
...seem cosmopolitan and gangly blockmates as interesting as swarthy yacht owners. I left Athens behind, but not the attitude. I spent too much time with laidback Greeks to let myself get stressed about shopping classes. I know the various Parthenons in my life are important—getting into grad school, finding a job, deciding how much to invest in extracurriculars—but can probably be conquered later. For now, I just want to savor these last warm days with the everyday rockstars I call my friends.Kristina M. Moore ’08 is a History and Literature concentrator...
...shitty.” Less sweet. One major reason for this is that damn literary theory. By the end of sophomore year, you’ll be able to drop your own facile pastiches of literary thought from all the heavy hitters like the most seasoned GSAS grad student, even if you don’t understand a damn thing. After that, you’re free to dump it if you’re all paradigmed out, continue if you so desire, or pick up Sanskrit as your third language. As with most things Lit, it?...
...many junior professors are only around for two years. This means that the CUE guide is often completely unhelpful, as a new professor means a new syllabus and often a different textbook for the same course. Tutorials—seminars in most other departments—are taught by grad students in their area of research. As such, they have a high student-teacher ratio, high grading curve, and even higher esoterica index. Hardly Social Studies 10. However, economics, philosophy, and quantum mechanics classes all count toward the mathematics concentration, and writing a good proof is similar to writing...
...light, you realize you’ve taken about five sentences of notes. Yup: Watson literally said nothing.Basically he shows slides of his farm in Iowa. But the TFs can be cute and a lot of fun—high marks go to Joon, a laid-back West Point grad who showed Conan O’Brien clips in class—and the term paper topic is wiiide-open. One senior wrote about marijuana and food in stoner movies like “Half-Baked.” Fun fact: getting high before writing these papers can be helpful.If...
