There he was, ignoring the miserably biting wind, the lifeless cold, the crooked numbers on the scoreboard and the empty seats. Northeastern had just pounded Harvard on the last game of the season, 12-6, in a non-conference makeup that hadn’t meant a lick. But it hurt...
...report is severely lacking in areas that could have put Harvard on the vanguard of thinking about education. For instance, the discussion of arts in the curriculum runs a mere page and culminates in only one suggestion: that the dean of the humanities look at the arts.
