...grumblings were preceded by similar criticism across Europe in recent weeks as the dollar dropped, including concerns voiced by German business leaders and economists who had long viewed a strong euro as a symbol of monetary rectitude. That crescendo of protest led France's Economy Minister Christine Lagarde to remind French economic daily Les Echos that Paris had long "sounded the alarm at the risk of irritating" more relaxed euro partners. She applauded signs that they had become "worried about the euro's level, and voiced their wishes to see concerted action" in response. Before the G-7 summit opens...

Organizers said they hope to make it an annual event and eventually an international one involving alumni clubs around the world. During the breakfast, Faust took the opportunity to remind students of the obligations conferred upon them. At Harvard, “we have access to the greatest minds of our generation, we get to engage with the subjects that most interest us—we have the world, in a sense, at our feet,” she said...

Harvard would do poorly to allow students, as Brown does, to drop classes until final examination period starts, which virtually ensures that students can escape any responsibility for their academic performance. It is also necessary to remind ourselves that being forced to struggle through difficult work—even when the end result is underperformance or failure—has value, however painful it may be. Nevertheless, the drop/add period is invaluable in allowing the intellectually curious to explore subjects without fear of being locked into a class...
