...tool for singling out great design. In this special supplement to TIME, we endeavor to identify what we call the Design 100, the people and ideas behind today's most influential design. Or, more specifically, the designers and impresarios who are creating useful and beautiful products, furniture, objects, buildings, houses, fabrics, even kitchen utensils. Of course, it's never easy to whittle down a list when there is so much talent in the global market. It's a matter of differentiating between good and great design.

Our endorsement of the UMRP’s efforts stems from the belief that Harvard is strengthened by having a diverse and integrated student body. As such, we object to any program that creates or tacitly endorses divisions within the student body. Separate prefrosh weekends tacitly endorse, if not create, division within the student body and mislead incoming students about the nature of the broader community. They falsely assume that minority students will feel comfortable only in their ethnic communities. Ultimately...
