Likewise, it would appear clear that the Faculty should grant normal academic credit for work done at universities abroad, which would represent a departure from current policy. A fifth question, which considers whether or not the University should resurrect the now-moribund writing center, presents some difficulty. The Writing Center represented an attempt to deal with a very real problem, but it was prohibitively expensive. While the University should certainly investigate alternative responses to the problem, the Writing Center is not the answer...
...Chateaubriand was less successful. Few Americans had heard of him in his own century; today the English-speaking world tends to associate the name with an expensive steak dish (created by a chef during Chateaubriand's brief sojourn as ambassador to England). British Biographer George Painter attempts to resurrect the legend by resuscitating the man. Author of a highly acclaimed and exhaustively researched biography of Proust, Painter has produced the first part of a projected three-volume study. Like its predecessor, it promises to be a model of organization and insight...
...many people hold the basic misconception that the convention, if the Constitution is voted down, will come back year after year with altered versions of the proposal until one passes. The odds against any group, trying to resurrect a different version of student government are slim, and the odds of any group organizing a radical, grass-roots coalition are even slimmer. Harvard students span the breadth of the ideological spectrum--there are probably as many libertarians at Harvard as there are Marxists. In light of this, some form of consensus-building is necessary. The new student assembly will not turn...
...crucial question, then, is whether the idea of liberal arts has the power to transform the educational system, or whether the Core proposal is just an anachronistic attempt to resurrect a dead ideal. Proponents of the Core are fighting the educational trends of the last 30 years. It seems that the undertaking will be enormous, and the Core proposal represents only a small step along the way to a liberal education...
...validity of Sagan's arguments is not immediately self-evident, but the post-symposium rebuttal offered by Velikovskyites to Sagan does not seem sufficient to resurrect Worlds in Collision. For instance, the rebuttal, appearing in Pensee states that Sagan had ignored the possibility that the molten state in which he says a comet would be ejected from Jupiter could later serve as a possible source of Velikovsky's hypothetical, captured-comet-turned-planet Venus's heat. Sagan reasonably argues, however, that rather than staying in a molten mass the ejected material "would have been entirely reduced toa train of self...
