...ironic that President Lawrence Summers, touted initially as a groundbreaking Harvard president like Charles W. Eliot, class of 1853, apparently pursued a presidential style of leadership quite reminiscent of President A. Lawrence Lowell??s handling of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Once Lowell, class of 1877 and president from 1909 to 1933, decided on a course of action, he opposed further discussion or hesitation.

We must bring ourselves together. Community is at hand, it is all around us, and it is up to us to grab it and make it real...
...planning on going to every Master’s Open House this semester but am far from the goal,” she said. “So far I’ve only been to Mather’s, Leverett’s, and Lowell??s.” “Mather’s is the best by far,” says Yuan, though perhaps she’s a little biased. “It was the best because it had everything the other houses had and more,” including sushi...
