...attendance than keeping the tapes on reserve in libraries, and any such effect would only spur professors to take more questions and interact with students to a greater degree. Online lectures would also be a benefit to Harvard students not enrolled in the class, who could now audit courses regardless of scheduling and make more informed decisions on their course choices. However, we recognize that many professors may be leery of having their image and presentations available to the general public. Harvard should therefore encourage and provide funding for such efforts, but unlike syllabi, online lectures should remain...
Such a program would provide a number of benefits. Institutions around the world would be able to integrate the teachings of Harvard faculty into their research and curricula. Younger students could utilize this information to further their interests through college-level work, regardless of whether they’re interested in organic chemistry, American history or Chinese. This endeavor should not monetarily benefit Harvard; keeping this service free commits Harvard to the principle of intellectual discussion for the sake of knowledge rather than the often-almighty dollar. Finally, by helping millions everywhere, Harvard would send a signal to the world...
...parameters that governed the creation of these crucifixes-regardless of century, country, or medium-must have been rigid, as there is a set of fairly strict conventions apparent in the pieces.

Here the earliest piece-the clunky bronze staring at you from the first display case-diverges, or perhaps precedes the established conventions. But every other Christ in the room conforms...

There is a widespread belief that violent crimes should be held to a greater standard of punishment, regardless of age. But why should violent crimes be held to different standards than other crimes? Of course, a 12-year-old murderer should receive a harsher punishment than a 12-year-old burglar, but should a 12-year-old killer really receive the same punishment...
...Crimson endorses. And, though The Crimson finds “it difficult to believe” that drilling could be so “innocuous,” with advancing oil technology, the actual surface area which would have to be drilled IS only about three square miles, regardless of what The Crimson wants to believe. Though The Crimson also decries Prudhoe Bay as a polluted mess, Prudhoe Bay development has been successful and responsibility is improving. With strict standards for conservation, the number of caribou in the area have tripled since 1978 and polar bears have been virtually undisturbed...
