...Most students entering the College have had little formal exposure to such comprehensive material—and many want such an exposure. According to the CUE Guide, of the 143 students who enrolled in History 10a last year, 93 of them chose to take it to fulfill a Core requirement or as an elective. This alone should merit the continued staffing of the course; when one considers the vital importance of providing history concentrators themselves with this basic knowledge the case is even more compelling.

Moreover, first-year students should be assigned an advisor in a broad field like social sciences, sciences, or humanities. When they enter the College, freshmen would indicate which general area they are interested in so that they...
...Summers has warned against “caricaturing” the complex situation surrounding his resignation, but the introduction of the term “anti-Semitism” into the discourse caricatures both the local dispute and—more seriously—the ghastly racism at the core of anti-Semitism. Harvard colleagues and others have been quoted in The Crimson, the Boston Globe, and elsewhere as suggesting that anti-Semitism was at least one factor in the ouster of Dr. Summers, the university’s first Jewish president. Thus the term anti-Semitism is redefined...
