...lines, finger painting, and nap time. Welcome to Harvard, Pre-K style. This brings me to the more insidious problem with the section system. Since the TFs fail to inspire any sort of genuine interest in the material, and generally the section grade is based on the always-vague notion of “participation,” sections become a rat race of asinine comments (“It’s really symbolic how they had the main character’s name starts with an S”), ridiculous pre-planned name dropping (“This...
...half-million or so years ago-which the critics lambasted, is now looking less likely. But their new idea is even more audacious: the hobbits, they suggest, may come directly from the Australopithecus family, which went extinct something like 2 million years ago. Their detailed argument for this notion has yet to be published, and critics are still very cautious even about embracing the idea that the hobbits represent a new species at all. But while he agrees that more evidence is needed, Daniel Lieberman, a Harvard paleontologist who composed a commentary on the new discovery for Nature, writes...
...give them realistic solutions. Working with partner Martin Zogran and 19 students, he scoured the campus for places that fit their definition of a social space. The data, which is currently being refined, yielded 236 social spaces, 46 of which are in the Yard. “The notion of social space is grander, larger and more inclusive than what we thought before,” Kayden says. For instance, even the space just in front of the John Harvard statue counts as a social space. Each space was mapped, photographed, described, and entered into a database. The researchers classified...
...Harvard’s poorest workers is entirely unrelated to their fundamental human worth. However, by using the human worth of these individuals as the basis for entitling them to a certain level of monetary worth, the living-wage proponents inextricably yet fatefully marry the two previously separate notions. Once the notions of monetary and human worth have been linked—be it in the minds of students, workers, or living-wage advocates—the consequence is stark. As long as there ultimately exists some difference in monetary worth between Harvard’s lowest-paid workers...
...renovations are complete, Harvard will have all the individual resources any student center would possess—just not all in one place. The idea of a decentralized student center is new, untried, and somewhat bizarre, but that is precisely why it might actually work.Though some fear that the notion of a “decentralized student center” is just a clever excuse for not building a real one, maybe, for once, the administration does know best. SPACE JAMHarvard is an urban campus. Space is limited, precious, and extremely expensive. “Funding is difficult...
