...stay at home and sleep more comfortably. One can easily spend four years in Cambridge without meeting a faculty member of higher rank than a teaching fellow. And it is possible to make a gentleman’s C with little or no work and have the only permanent trace of one’s presence here a series of impressions on an IBM card. This spirit of live and let live extends through every aspect of undergraduate life. There are no big men on campus, only a host of little big men. The quest for fame reaches an early...
...deaths of insects and worms, their bodies so quickly absorbed by earth and weeds and road tar, devilishly strive to tell Ahmad that his own death will be just as small and final. Walking to school, he has noticed a sign, a spiral traced on the pavement in luminous ichor, angelic slime from the body of some low creature, a worm or snail of which only this trace remains.

As in many genocides, it is difficult to determine how many people have died. While the World Health Organization estimated in October 2004 that 70,000 had died since March 2004, other estimates put the death toll three to four times...
...sell access to the database a la iTunes. Regardless of the means chosen, the ends would be to create a parallel endowment not measured in dollars in foreign investment funds, but in our professors’ wealth of knowledge. And we might even be able to trace our next Frost’s inspiration right to the source: that early Tuesday morning lecture by Münsterberg that rocked his world. But the diverging roads between preservation and oblivion require a fast and brave decision from FAS. We have to start...
