When President Theodore Roosevelt, Class of 1880, returned to Mother Harvard to accept an honorary doctorate in 1902, he bellowed disapproval at his alma mater. Biographer Edmund Morris tells the story with typically vivid prose: “Harvard, to Theodore, was a temple defiled by mugwumps, who congregated here to exchange the dull coins of anti-imperialism. Roosevelt launched into a stentorian defense of his island administrations and the public servants who sacrificed their careers to help ‘weaker friends along the stony and difficult path of self-government.’” Earlier that...
...soar from the battlefield straight to paradise, a garden of fountains and beautiful women who are not wearing burqas. But once those 15,000 pound "Daisy-Cutter" bombs started falling, exploding in a lethal fuel-air mixture that kills everything in a 600-yard radius, it doesn't mater how fanatical you are, or how gorgeous you believe the women are who waiting for you in paradise.

Raising his wineglass in a mock toast, Patrick Lyons concurred, Id be happy to stay here...
...objection to Reeves, who was re-elected on Tuesday, seems to derive from his public criticisms of Harvard. This is sadly consistent with the widespread capitulation to mainstream politics so evident at Harvard this fall. That Reeves has chosen to voice principled objections to his alma mater on issues like the living wage, community relations and questionable donor sources suggests that he has used his political power to expose some of Harvard’s more egregious flaws. That The Crimson chose to call for his dismissal because of this confirms that it is as out of touch with...
