...Harris added that while the committee felt pressure from freshman and sophomore advisers to tackle the question of transition timing, the group will need longer to populate the categories with a wide range of courses, especially newly conceived ones. John M. Duffy, professor of Byzantine philosophy and literature, expressed concern that Faculty members who have taught for years in the Core lack information about whether they will be able to tailor their courses to fit the new program. “I hope you won’t keep them in limbo for a long time...
...spend it cleverly, and Harvard has done that,” Ince said. Marlyn E. McGrath ‘70-’73, director of admissions for Harvard College, said that while the University is flattered by the recognition, the rankings are not a main concern for Harvard. “Most of us who have had a lot of experience in this line of work would be crazy to take this seriously,” McGrath said.

...Another concern with donated game meat, the Humane Society says, is the risk to human health. Unlike farm-raised meat, which undergoes a federal government-controlled inspection process before it can be sold, meat from wild animals may end up on a plate with little regulation - increasing the risk of contamination. "Because goose and deer and other suburban animals feed on lawns and flowers that are treated with pesticides, meat from those animals could be unfit for human consumption," Markarian says...
