...response to rebellions in Ireland. These unsettling events seem to parallel the themes of “Henry the Fifth” and “Julius Caesar”—and they appear to have sparked Shakespeare’s creativity. However, due to the strict enforcement of censorship in Elizabethan England, Shakespeare could not make overt comparisons to the government. After all, the English court was a patron of his theater company. At the time, authors were sent to the gallows at Tyburn or starved to death in the Tower of London just for subtly criticizing...

They stand watching the boats go by, but the only craft allowed to dock in Maliuc are military vessels bringing food to the village. The old lady who found the swan, who only days earlier was proud to show visitors her small...
Therefore, it is likely that this disparity indicates that science students face greater barriers to studying abroad than other students. Science concentrations tend to have a less flexible trajectory of study. Students face a strict sequence of classes, which forces them to plan their courses far in advance. In turn, this regimentation makes fitting in a term abroad difficult. Additionally, science departments tend to be less willing to accept credit for study done abroad, compounding the fundamental problem of strict requirements...
...easing the process of studying abroad during summer, because the summer months do not have the same real or perceived opportunity cost as time taken from the academic year. Summer study abroad is particularly helpful for science concentrators, because it allows them to avoid the problem of interrupting a strict plan of study to engage in an international experience. However, the financial cost of going abroad during the summer, both in terms of actual cost incurred and in terms of income not earned, is often a serious burden, so the College could do more to make financial aid for summer...
