Early Thursday morning it hits me: once again, there are no women in my classes. I start counting, and after a pair of sections and a lecture, the grand total confirms my suspicion. In my three Thursday liberal arts classes there are 62 men and 16 women. Alas, some days it's hard to believe there's anything approaching an even number of male and female undergraduates at Harvard...
