...almost fooled myself into fully adopting this mentality when one day, waiting to cross a street in the Kreuzberg, I heard myself reflect, “Well, if I’m struggling I’m doing something right” and recognized a tone totally contrary to everything I thought I was. To the extent that I had inherited a culture, nowhere in my very hybrid Catholic-Jewish Asian-Spanish-Eastern European parentage was there even a hint of the kind of Puritanism that values “sticking it out” above all else.

Those in the social sciences cannot boast such concrete understanding, but Harvard’s Social Studies program has gone a long way toward promoting international concerns.

Though the record may not reflect it, the Harvard women’s lacrosse team was a formidable force this season. “I think we made a statement to all the higher-ranked teams in the Ivy League that Harvard is a team to be reckoned with,” junior Kaitlin Martin said. “Every single game that they played with us was a hard fought game.” The Crimson had its best overall record since 2002 with a 9-7 mark. It started out on fire with six straight wins over local...
