...days, historians--at least some of them--were patriotic and moralistic. No longer. We live in what Andrew Ferguson, in his brilliant new book, Land of Lincoln: Adventures in Abe's America, calls "a wised-up era." Now, Ferguson explains, "skepticism about the country, its heroes and its history" is "a mark of worldliness and sophistication." Ferguson is himself a worldly and sophisticated observer of contemporary America. (Full disclosure: he also happens to be a colleague of mine at the Weekly Standard.)

Without leadership rosters, and with club loyalties, the College’s policy is crippled. The weight of this policy is going to fall right past the shoulders of final clubs and other non-recognized social clubs and will land on recognized student groups that hold social events. These organizations—such as Harvard Model Congress, the Harvard College Democrats, and The Crimson—provide invaluable social outlets for those students who prefer to skip the bi-weekly parade through the mansions on Mount Auburn Street...
