...them that the University will be a refuge from discrimination. The heritage of Harvard is its greatest strength, but also one of its mightiest flaws. The past year has shown once more that the University can use the resource of its great past in two ways—to uphold the values that should always exist here, or to nourish the forces of reaction and conservatism that have sometimes triumphed. In the early winter, when President Bok decided that Harvard would not enter as a commercial competitor in the booming field of genetic engineering, he appealed to some time-honored...

For all the cosmic significance Harvard’s Commencement speakers will try to attach to our diplomas, the real lesson of graduation is a lesson in humility. Getting into Harvard meant we were the best.

Perhaps very privileged students don’t quite have the realization of the real world outside of college, but surviving in today’s society is marked by a constant struggle to uphold and ensure one’s rights. Women are lucky that their mothers and even grandmothers loved their daughters enough to cause the social unrest that produced the benefits that many women enjoy today. But perhaps these same daughters, the women of today, fail to realize that to keep...
