...their size and may be able to expand their size if they are able to woo a donor to endow a chair. But most of the money FAS is pouring into the expansion will, according to Knowles, go towards hiring new scientists. Knowles justifies this by comparing Harvard to peer institutions, which reveals that Harvard lags behind in science hires...
...interests in giving students information about and access to various ethnic groups, while neither giving a false impression of our campus nor artificially herding minority students into a separate community, as a separate prefrosh weekend might do.These weekends, which are used by several of Harvard’s peer institutions, are not only too extreme a measure, but also undermine the ultimate goal of such initiatives.

Peer counseling groups should be allowed to present to proctor groups (permitted until the Class of 2007 were freshmen) to describe peer counseling and to give peer counseling groups a chance to explain why people call. Educating tutors about which resources are available and what they’re good...
