...ramp of the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts (CCVA) that bore its christening on May 27, 1963. That evening, a “family party” was held in honor of the opening of the Carpenter Center, with guests including then-University President Nathan M. Pusey, patrons Mr. and Mrs. St. Vrain Carpenter, Dean of the Graduate School of Design José Luis Sert, and his wife Moncha Sert. To inaugurate the building—the first in North America designed by architectural great Le Corbusier—the university luminaries in attendance splashed champagne on the ramp...
...latest Def Jux tour made its final stop at the Middle East in Central Square last Saturday, playing to an energetic, almost entirely white crowd. It was the triumphal return of Boston’s own The Perceptionists, featuring Mr Lif, Akrobatik and DJ Fakts One, who tore through unreleased political tracks (“Where are the weapons of mass destruction?” goes the chorus of one surprisingly catchy track) as well as an extended praise poem to the New England Patriots.

Murs is a little hazy when asked about his future. There is talk...
...whom I speak with are equally grateful to him, and I understand why. He is a reassuring presence to have in one’s corner. For the most part, however, no one seems to think that life would have been drastically different for them had they not met Mr. Making the Most of College their first semester. They are perhaps more reflective than most, as they interview 10 students each semester about their Harvard experience, but it doesn’t necessarily translate into deliberate choices. In fact, several people say that sometimes good advice is nice to hear...
