War veterans who returned to Harvard as undergraduates, hardened from years of fighting, were much older and less likely to accept the parietal rules, according to Morton Keller, co-author of “Making Harvard Modern: The Rise of America’s University...

Jacobs’ point (and Lewis’) is that the power, ultimately, is in the story itself...

Elsewhere known as “Western Civilization,” History 10a, still taken at Harvard by a few hundred students each year, is a remnant of the post-World War II liberal arts curriculum. It survived the Core Curriculum innovations of the 1970s and now cowers in a corner of the course catalogue, hoping to avoid the axe of the current curricular review...
