...Steven Pinker, the Johnstone Family professor of psychology, counters in an op-ed published today in The Crimson (see p. A10), “Universities are about reason, pure and simple. Faith—believing something without good reasons to do so—has no place in anything but a religious institution, and our society has no shortage of these...
...other room: “YEFIM! Weight control, line two!” After we all walked into the main room and took seats in a circle, we got our first peek at the Mad Russian himself. The first thing I noticed about him was that he was pure muscle. In most other ways, he looked like Mikhail Gorbachev. “Do not worry about it, life is supposed to be miserable,” he kept saying as stragglers walked in late.Talking at breakneck speed in his thick, barely intelligible Russian accent, Dr. Shubentsov declared that he didn?...
...such as Life Sciences 1a and 1b—that do use social context to frame scientific teaching, there is much to be said for releasing more advanced students from the frustrations of taking introductory courses. Moreover, ambitious students should be encouraged, not discouraged, to take more advanced pure science courses.

We are confident that students are bright enough to consider...
...paintings are intricate and dreamlike, capturing imaginary worlds simultaneously being constructed and destroyed. Often, there stands a small, balding man painted in a corner, a self-referential portrait of the artist trying to figure out what he has made and thereby saving Bergstein’s paintings from pure abstraction and lending them an unnerving physicality.On the next block over, between Burberry on one corner and Brooks Brothers on the other, is Barbara Krakow Gallery (10 Newbury). Saturday afternoon is home to peak business; true to form, the gallery was buzzing when I went. On the top floor, two large...
...relevance?—possibly teaching someone something of the past that might illuminate (or not) some recent events as well? Perish the thought. Let General Education courses in the 21st century, especially the ones under the rubric “historical and global perspectives,” be pure, informing us above all that we, and our societies, have sprung forth like Athena from the head of Zeus: fully formed, fully armed, with no past to remember, forget, or learn from. History is only as deep as the 19th century. Historical Study B-11, unfortunately, is the only course...
