...least Harvard students with quashed financial ambitions can console themselves with immense monetary value of their diplomas—right? The fact that increased education attainment correlates with increased income is indisputable. Two decades of data from the U.S. Census Bureau make manifest this education-income ladder, by which each additional year of schooling (except in the case of graduate school) is associated with additional annual earnings. Although such correlations do not imply causality, the logic that more education means more money lends itself to the logic that a more prestigious education means even more money.

...above proficient, consistent with the national average. Rural dropout rates are higher than in the suburbs and lower than in cities.On one hand, the success of public education in any setting is largely the result of quantitative factors that influence schools across regions. Discrepancies in these values manifest themselves in educational inequalities and, over time, have contributed largely to the achievement gap the United States struggles to overcome today. Yet less tangible factors also fundamentally determine the trajectory of a child’s education and a school’s ability to provide effective and comprehensive instruction. These components...

...physics. Videt, along with Ilinca Radulian ’10, applied to produce the play with HRDC last semester, and they were granted the second Loeb Mainstage slot of the spring season. “The Space Between” is an exploration of how to make theoretical physics manifest on stage. Inspired by the late Samuel Beckett, the play lacks a traditional form. Instead, it is divided into the intertwining stories of different couples who act almost as analogous pairs. The principle couple is Richard Feynman, the Caltech physicist who helped develop the atomic bomb, and his wife...

...feeling of necessity over the Harvard-to-New York relocation can manifest itself for any number of reasons. Some students simply like New York and want to live there, and some favor the city because of the concentration of jobs in the metropolis. Others say that their desire to move to New York stems from an inability to see themselves elsewhere: They’ve always assumed they would live in New York, and so they limit their searches for jobs and graduate schools to the city in their crystal ball.

Sometimes we change because we want to: lose weight, go vegan, find God, get sober. But sometimes we change because we have no choice, and since this violates our manifest destiny to do as we please, it may take a while before we notice that those are often the changes we need to make most. We ran a good long road test of the premise that more is better: we built houses that could hold all our stuff but were too big to heat; we bought cars that could ferry a soccer team but were too big to park...
