Admissions officers use the Z-list to annually admit thirty to fifty students more than the Harvard class size can fit; the officers extend admission on the mutual understanding that the students will take a gap year and join the subsequent class. What makes these students substantively different from their peers who are accepted through the regular process is largely unclear; indeed, many do become well-known, and essential members of the Harvard community.

Name at least the titles of every other book Hume ever wrote; don't just say "Medieval cathedrals"--name nine. Think of a few specific examples of "contemporary decadence," like Natalie Wood. If you can't come up with titles, try a few sharp metaphors of your own; they have...
