...diversity in language offerings. Specialists can’t be specialists if they don’t know the languages of the areas they study.” Budget constraints have also affected language study beyond the classroom. Last week, The Crimson reported that free access to the Rosetta Stone language-learning software had been eliminated. The Language Resource Center will offer students, faculty, and staff the software at a subsidized price of $110 per year, discounted from the normal $549 annual subscription price. Chase Russell ’12, a Romance Languages and Literatures concentrator, was considering using...
...Yeah. Blackstone, indeed. The Blackstone Group, even, for those in the know. The kingpin of private equity. FlyBy's correspondents, both Classics concentrators, had little if any idea what private equity was, or what this sable stone was meant to connote. But that was what the Industry Expert was for.

Taking inspiration from the opulent Baroque era, de Castellane sculpted one-of-a-kind rings and brooches in the form of skulls and lavished them with crowns and collars of elaborately cut and set diamonds.

While the skulls may serve as a reminder that time is fleeting...

One audience member asked Kagan what it was like to battle with Justice Antonin Scalia, referring to a tense moment during...
...budget cuts, Harvard’s Language Resource Center will no longer offer students free memberships to Rosetta Stone, a self-study language computer program. Year-long subscriptions to the program, which had been available free of charge exclusively to students for the past two years, will now be available to both students and staff for $110, 20 percent of the $539 market price. According to Associate Dean Robert G. Doyle, free access to Rosetta Stone had not previously been available to staff because funding only covered students. The LRC had been willing to pay full price for the second...
