...just Harvard's lack of institutional imagination that is at fault for the problems of undergraduate education; students, too, must bear their share of the blame. We students have adopted shamefully passive attitudes toward learning. We come to the College not as scholars but as consumers, judging professors on the quality of the services they provide instead of using their knowledge as a point of departure for self-motivated learning.

The administration is said to be looking into the matter, and Students for a Sweat-free Campus are doing their best to make sure that the University adopts an effective code of conduct that...
