But it’s not totally aimless. “It’s a more focused discussion than at a bar or in a dining hall, but our conversation is allowed to wander,” admits McMillian. In the wee hours of the morning, McMillian’s eight erudite guests trickle off into the rainy night, all the wiser for having participated in the powerful discussion. Cambridge in 2006 might not be the Village in the 1920’s, but that won’t stop McMillian from hosting...

He or she can be found more often than not in Cabot Science Library until the wee hours of the morning, bent over chemistry or economics textbooks, while other students socialize. Unlike the often explicitly negative labels placed on Latino and black students, on the surface the Asian-American is a ‘model minority.’ Since Asians are doing so well in getting into college...
