...Furthermore, the incentive for instructors to maintain a very high standard of teaching will be much stronger when they know that their students’ comments will be moderated only for the grossest forms of indiscretion, rather than edited and condensed into a single sentence with a bunch of adjectives in quotation marks. When teachers are unexceptional, students’ complaints should get a full, public hearing. To simplify them is to make them meaningless...

But this isn't the only occasion on which this campus shifts into hard-sell mode, nor will this weekend bear witness to the grossest distortions. The worst outbreak of irrational exuberance occurs annually on Pre-Frosh Weekend, when we all collectively conspire to convince unsuspecting high schoolers that the Yard is a warm, festive place. There is just something about the presence of outsiders that inspires even Harvard's greatest detractors...
