After getting his degree, Michael E. Kopko ’07 did what many recent college grads do—packed up his stuff and moved into an even smaller living space in New York. However, instead of choosing (selling his soul to) Goldman Sachs, he decided to gather some of his friends from high school and start his own company: GradeFund.com. GradeFund connects college students to sponsors who pay them for their good grades. Potential sponsors range from parents to prospective employers. People who pay you to get good grades?

...Harvard has long been portrayed—even caricatured—as a bastion for secularism, if not hostility toward faith.

Troops and badges will still exist - but girls can also choose to take "journeys" instead, opting, for instance, to make a six-week foray into the community...
...able person in China were to contribute one renminbi (about 15 cents) once a month, then an enormous reserve could be built up for the relief of deserving causes (and thus create "one big family," to use One Foundation - speak). Although large corporate endowments are solicited and obtained, the soul of the enterprise really does lie in spare change. Ordinary Chinese donate by patronizing one of many businesses that Li has signed up - by dining at the South Beauty restaurant chain, for example (one renminbi off the bill goes to the foundation), or by using their China Merchants Bank credit...
