That’s not to say we are ungrateful that the College has made a genuine effort to improve the undergrad experience. The renovations of Yard basements into freshman social spaces—which, like Hilles, mostly go unused—as well as of Hilles itself, are impressive aesthetic and functional achievements when considered in their own right.

...Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, undergrad entrepreneurs have begun hawking a line of 100% cotton tees with the catchphrase "I know who made my t-shirt? Do you?" If you don't know, here's the answer: Workers seeking to improve their lives in sub-Saharan African countries like Lesotho, Uganda and Tanzania with few other opportunities for sustainable employment. These workers, according to the students, are getting fair wages and working in clean facilities, and no children are exploited in the process...
