...deductive logic to prove their theorems; humanities majors strive to include supporting evidence in their essays . Since our minds are trained from a young age to require evidence, proof, and arguments before accepting a concept, theorem, or idea as legitimate, it is natural and expected that we employ this method when addressing matters of religion. While I cannot criticize the analytical approach of most Harvard students, I lament that people who employ this approach tend to look down on those who simply accept that certain events happened or that certain ideas are true based on faith. This condescension is somewhat...
...already appears that Bolten is much more the traditional chief in manner and method, and so it will be interesting to see what that means for the way Bush decides things. Bolten got a lot of attention earlier this week when he called on all Bush hands to declare now whether they want to leave or stay for the duration.

This would be a highly cost-efficient method, especially in comparison with the UC’s current system under which elected representatives with little business prowess run inefficient systems.

Stanford University cetologist Stephen Palumbi says their addition to the scientific catch will confound attempts to monitor poaching through the dna testing of meat, a method that has proved remarkably effective in recent years...
...freshmen the ins and outs of living in the Quad. Solacing words are often heard from all-knowing upperclassmen about the peaceful isolation the Quad Houses enjoy, the benefits of extended dining hall hours, and, most notably, the efficiency of the shuttle system. Little, however, is said about another method of transportation that is quite foreign to many Harvard students: walking. Pronounced “ooh-al-king” or “vhal-keeng,” depending on where you are from, this ancient and somewhat rustic method of transportation involves using one?...
