...some difference between adherents of these two disciplines; one can hardly expect that students' interest in computer science as opposed to English literature will have no effect on them and will not, in turn, be affected by their particular personalities. And just as clearly, this is not a phenomenon confined to these hallowed Harvardian halls--the warring intellectual stereotypes of the acne-ridden, bespectacled, socially inept math-science geek and the gaunt, black-clad, pseudo-European postmodern drama student are universal in American society, and are probably older than any of us (except, perhaps, for the postmodern part).

Let's say that you're a first year female sitting in Greenough with your new rooming group. Everyone is saying what they want to do when they finish Harvard. The first five spit out illustrious goals: medical school, law school, high school math teacher, consultant, Ambassador to Turkey ... What does your sixth roommate want to be? Housewife. Housewife?!
