Because he couldn't teach much, he would often show films in his classes, and his hands would shake so badly that he could barely get the 8-mm film into the projector.

The majority of the program’s teachers are Harvard undergraduates, and CCCEF hopes to fill 60 of the program’s 75 teaching slots from Harvard this year. The Asian students coming with HCAP will attend academic dinner discussions...

A loophole to this rule allows for lecturers with certain administrative positions to retain lecturer status indefinitely, according to Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures Julie Buckler...
