...secondary field” seems outwardly appealing. Theoretically, these fields could work like the Language Citation program, allowing students to get credit for in-depth work in a non-concentration field. The EPC suggests that students can take four to six classes in a field outside their concentration to merit a certificate in a secondary field. While the benefits are obvious, we can foresee a time when graduating with a secondary field certificate becomes the norm and students who take a truly diverse array of courses (but not enough for a secondary field) would seem somehow inferior coming...
...there a whole host of political problems—major nominations and indictments—for us to philosophize about? Didn’t Katie Holmes just announce she’s having a baby with Tom Cruise? All right, maybe that last one doesn’t merit too much attention either—but anything would be better than listening to people repeat the same things about final clubs, year after year, punch season after punch season, ad infinitum. So from now on, when any new final club “news” arises, let?...

A punch book contains comments about every current “punch” (the students who wish to join the club) and, as one could imagine, the comments are rarely based on any sort of merit. The Isis’ book is rife with vapid and positive evaluations, as well as harsh critiques based on punches’ accessories, shrill vocal tones, social faux pas, and dating infidelities...

To some, the sculpture's prominent display owes more to political correctness than to aesthetic merit--"Purely empty, deeply bland and silly," says art critic Matthew Collings, author of This Is Modern Art. Others call it an uplifting tribute to womankind. But more interesting than the reactions it provokes are the ones it doesn't. If the sculpture has met with less than universal acclaim...
...school such as Harvard, however, where a vast majority of students are capable, in terms of raw measures, of A-level work, grades based on merit alone fail to distinguish most students. But ironically, these ubiquitous A grades hardly communicate even raw performance, much like a perfect score on an intelligence test cannot accurately measure intelligence for failure to challenge the test taker...
