Harvard Rules (57 page)

My wife lives alone:
“Editor's Commentary,”
Mother Jones,
July–August 1996, http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/ednote/1996/07/klein.html.

HLS Lambda filed a friend-of-the-court brief:
In late November 2004, a federal appeals court ruled in the FAIR lawsuit that the Pentagon could not block funding to universities that restricted military recruiting. Harvard Law School dean Elena Kagan promptly reinstated the school's ban on military recruiting; Larry Summers had no immediate comment. The Bush administration was expected to appeal the court ruling.

There is a feeling in the faculty: Harvard Crimson,
November 19, 2003.

No journalist is ever satisfied:
David H. Gellis and Kate L. Rakoczy, “The Iron Curtain Lowers Over University Hall,”
Harvard Crimson,
February 5, 2004.

The comment was regrettable:
The South Korean Health and Welfare Minister posted the comment on his homepage, at http://english.mohw.go.kr/html/01greetings/sub01.htm.

I just left that class thinking: Harvard Crimson,
January 11, 2003.

The university will spit me out:
Camille Dodero, “Class Notes,”
The Boston Phoenix,
March 13–20, found at http://www.bostonphoenix.com/boston/news_features/this_just_in/documents/02753363.htm.

Our purpose…is to cultivate:
James Bryant Conant,
General Education in a Free Society
(Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1945), xiv.

A very close call:
Peter Engel, “Harvard's Soft Core,”
The Washington Monthly,
January 1980, 43.

No very substantial intellectual experience:
Ibid., 191.

The student has passed an uneventful period:
Kenneth S. Lynn, “Son of ‘Gen Ed,'
Commentary,
September 1978, 61.

A very good menu: Harvard Crimson,
June 9, 2004.

The only workable solution:
Phyllis Keller,
Getting at the Core
(Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1992), 135.

A class struggle:
Ibid., 139.

The ideal candidate:
“Kids Under Pressure,” CNN, April 20, 2002.

Is it really worth the effort:
Ibid.

World's Greatest University:
Arianne R. Cohen, “World's Greatest University, World's Worst Teachers,”
Harvard Crimson,
November 4, 2002.

They remember feeling excitement:
J. Hale Russell, “The Curricular Misnomer,”
Harvard Crimson,
March 25, 2004.

An impact on universities across the nation: New York Times,
April 27, 2004.

A bold step forward: Boston Globe,
April 28, 2004.

The last time Harvard reviewed its undergraduate curriculum:
Thomas Bartlett, “What's Wrong with Harvard,”
The Chronicle of Higher Education,
May 7, 2004, 14.

University administrators across the country: Harvard Crimson,
April 16, 2004.

Stunningly bland and half-baked recommendations:
J. Hale Russell, “Nobody Likes a Bad Review,”
Harvard Crimson,
April 29, 2004.

The key words were:
J. Hale Russell, “A Hard Sell,”
Harvard Crimson,
May 17, 2004.
