As one commenter on DeLong’s article pointed out, “the rationale for Harvard is not the education of young people. It is to produce a certain class of educated person who will go on to fill a certain role in society.” The University shouldn’t be ashamed of this, but it also ought to admit that, in the end, it is a privately-interested organization which happens to have quite...
