...dreams--law, business, medicine--are more in keeping with the Harvard name than others. Lofty professions take to lofty pedigrees. Even if we don't take the lofty road professionally, we can rest assured that our hard work these four years will win us a certain measure of respect from the surrounding world, but man cannot live by respect alone, but neither can woman...
Regardless of respect, a Harvard diploma can only do so much in coaxing the right people to crack the right doors ajar. The whole game of it all reminds me of those large, long hallways from the dream sequences of a movie, labyrinthine but somehow also very simple at the same time. There are lots of opened doors, but the views inside are blurry, and the view back out may be non-existent. Just as we may find it hard to remember our lives before Harvard, after we enter the working world it may be hard to recall a time...

Maybe I've watched "Braveheart" too many times or have studied and respect the American Revolution too much, but it will be a cold day in hell before I willingly hand over my freedoms of labor, speech, religion and all that other stuff the Bill of Rights says to a government (of Johnsons and Branches) that thinks it knows what's best for me better...

Perhaps the most significant criticism of the policy was the stifling of student choice and autonomy. Although I certainly respect the University feeling responsible to create an environment of open and interesting interchange, one would be hard-pressed to justify a limitation of choice in the pursuit of openness, especially since it is not clear that the goals and potential results of randomization balance such blatant disregard for our freedom of choice...
