...take a course in ancient Greece, read Plato, or learn a foreign language.” Given Adomanis’ concern with international competitiveness, one wonders why he would so shackle those language students by gutting study abroad. I remember an Arabic course taught by Harvard’s William Granara as one of the best I ever took, but surely Adomanis recognizes the incomparable advantage of studying modern languages in their natural context. Immersed students not only acquire vocabulary and syntax more rapidly, they spark human curiosity, exchange, and understanding with people previously ignored, and that is precisely...
...this new collection which contains over 100 poems, drafts, and fragments. Bishop, who taught at Harvard from 1970 to 1977, published less than 90 poems in six collections during her lifetime. Vendler’s voice of criticism, while loud, has been mostly alone.

This abysmal attendance not only questions the Faculty’s commitment to the future of the College’s curriculum but also its idealistic complaints about Summers’ inability to effectively run an academic institution—at least he showed...
...from 8.2 percent last year. However, Latinos are still underrepresented at Harvard relative to the overall population. Latinos compose 14 percent of the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics from 2004, the last year for which data are available. Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons ’67 said last week that Harvard’s expanded financial aid program played a role in the increased diversity of the admitted Class of 2010. The Harvard Financial Aid Initiative, which previously eliminated parental contributions from families earning less than $40,000, raised the threshold...
