...foster school spirit. Yardfest has a proven ability to excite the student body and draw out a big audience: Around 7,100 students came out for Sara Bareilles and Ratatat last year, and about 7,000 showed up in 2008 for Wu-Tang Clan and Gavin DeGraw. With mainstream hip-hop artist Kid Cudi, known best for his hit song “Day ‘n’ Nite,” we can expect a similarly strong or stronger turnout at this year’s concert, providing a rare opportunity for students to relish being...

Though Yardfest in general is a great event, the choice to have Kid Cudi perform is especially commendable. In the past, the Yardfest artist selections have evoked controversy, but this year, the College Events Board and the Harvard Concert Commission made a concerted effort to pick a mainstream artist who would appeal to a larger portion of the student body.

...rare today that a novel grapples with the several thousand years of Jewish history and heritage that preceded America, rather than only addressing the issues surrounding modern Jewish life. Mainstream Jewish authors such as Philip Roth or Jonathan Safran Foer are writing about Jews, but not so much about Judaism. Less common is the Chaim Potok or the Milton Steinberg who attempts to bring the vast Jewish past into dialogue with the Jewish present...
