...forced to crack their books—and to crack them seriously. Indeed, many students choose to make academics the focus of their college careers. Many others, though, pour much of their energy into activities as diverse as athletics, acting, student government or, dare I say it, journalism. To suggest that all those students would have been better served by spending extra hours every week nosing around musty libraries is nonsense...
Sure, Harvard students are independent self-starters, and yet that the wealth of diverse interests expressed by first-years inevitably whittles down to only a handful of channels seems to suggest that the lack of institutional support for certain paths drives many students into fields better supported by Harvard’s academic and career network.

Besides building our bodies, says Emory University's Dr. S. Boyd Eaton, the fatty acids found in animal-based foods would have served as a powerful raw material for the growth of human brains...
