Dunster House resident Alice Y. Kiang '86 died after a long illness. An Applied Math concentrator who played piano in the Harvard Ensemble Society. Kiang suffered from a rare blood disease that attacked her immune system...
...fabulous era of lecturers (I treasure my memories of lectures by Bate, Demos, Handlin, Hugo, Lynn, Perry Miller, Mark deWolfe Howe and Kenneth Murdock) but mostly of weary section men.

The implication seems to be that Asian-American non-science majors are so rare that they deserve to be put on display and labelled "exceptions." In actuality, the growing number of Asian social science and humanity majors do not flounder, as the Houston professor asserts, on "open-ended problems, those...
