The bottom-up approach to conducting lectures — banning all distractions — is contrary to the spirit of interest and enterprise that most departments strive to foster.
How much money your parents can pay for college should never be a factor in a student’s admission to college — applicants should be solely judged on their qualifications.
All students who have a meal plan should be able to use the extra meals for which they have already paid during breaks.
Now, we’ve come full circle by arguing that technology itself — in particular, the Internet — is the revolution. But this argument seems to be more a myth than a fact.
Long lines are not necessarily the best means of rationing scarce items for which demand exceeds supply.
Harvard and Princeton are quite different places, of course, but there are times when their similarities seem unusually close.
Being a catcher isn’t glamorous, despite calling the pitch type and location, hitting in the lineup and making defensive plays. It could be said that Ruiz is a catcher’s catcher, the epitome of success without fame.
