So four years ago, when I first walked through Johnson Gate dutifully clutching a red folder, I promised myself that no Harvard student would ever learn of my dark, spandex secret. I did quite well for a year, sticking to pseudo-intellectual subjects—Kant’s probable interpretation of globalization, Derrida’s take on postmodernism.

...compelling, guiding purpose. Command me, Core, to take those things I’d rather not take for the sake of my GPA or my attention span; make those who come in our wake study those things that, although it’s been hushed into an open secret, are still thought to be the underpinnings of our civilization...
