...this week’s setback, HoCos and the Dean’s Office should stick to their guns and continue cooperating to plan the weekend’s events, curtailed though they may now be. A promising proposal has been compromised, and that’s a great shame. But the modified plans still call for large, College-supported parties on Friday night at the Quad and the River, which is a whole lot more than nothing. With a little bit of fancy footwork in the planning, Harvard-Yale weekend could yet be the most exciting of the fall...

Even as the Columbia administration has been hanging its head in shame, the pages of the Columbia Spectator have been full of insightful opinion pieces on issues ranging from the meaning of free speech, to the role of political opinion in the classroom, to the appropriateness of civil disobedience...

Running an African country is the toughest...
...would be a shame for Harvard to nix the Reason and Faith requirement proposal because of qualms about appearing to be a parochial school, or an institution promoting only certain belief systems. The report specifically says that the classes under the requirement would not be prescriptive—these classes would be nothing like indoctrination—and would give students a wide range of religions to choose to study. The idea is not to turn all Harvard students into Protestants again, but rather to make students more aware of humanity’s universal tendency to develop faith systems...
