As fanfare and festivities erupted that week in the city of Lagos, roughly 30 Nigerian students attending universities in the Boston area celebrated remotely, alongside then-Harvard undergraduate Chukwuma B. Azikiwe ’63, son of the man who would soon take the helm of the most populous nation in Africa...

(History and Literature, the oldest concentration, was also once the only concentration.) It wasn’t until the early 1900s that then-Harvard President Abbott Lawrence Lowell began pushing for more concentrations, musing that a “well-educated man must know a little bit of everything and one thing well.” Thus came the Core Curriculum (now General Education for all you froshies), along with 46 individual concentrations...
