The purpose of Yale College is to manufacture Yale alumni.” Deresiewicz left Yale earlier this year, according to Elsa S. Kim ’08-’09, who helped organize the event. Deresiewicz said that being a thinker is very different from being a leader. “I am telling you to be counter-cultural,” he said. “Forget about Harvard. Forget about...
