...required to play on an athletic team far outweighs that of most other extracurricular activities, but to place a sort of achievement cap on the football team alone is unfair. Plenty of Harvard students can vouch for the fact that their extracurricular obligations place a greater burden on their studies??but no one is telling a Phillips Brooks House Association volunteer or a Crimson Key comper when their hard work must come to an end for academia’s sake. University President Drew G. Faust will sit on the committee to select a replacement for Orleans...
...Currier House to celebrate the end of the fast. As around a 150 students broke their fast at the sound of the evening prayer call, the Islamic Society introduced its two guest speakers for the evening.

Thus, the valiant efforts of Asian American Studies to provide a counter-discourse against dominant Eurocentric interpretations of American history are ultimately inconsistent with its intentions?...
...while this gap may take time to fill given the recent downturn in humanities faculty hiring, improving Harvard’s pedagogical offerings in Asian American studies would be far easier. While we support the creation of an Asian American studies track for secondary concentrators in East Asian studies??a move that seems increasingly likely—the creation of such a secondary field would open up the door to demands for similar equally deserving programs for studying other ethnic groups.Instead of such programs existing in isolation, the University should create a broader program for those who wish...
