...anomaly for the average Harvard student. It is the unfortunate case that even in the Harvard schools that specifically cater to those looking to do the most good, most notably Harvard Law School (HLS) and the Kennedy School of Government (KSG), students often choose the easier, more visible road to immediate monetary success.HLS and the KSG have both taken measures in recent years in an attempt to reverse the trend, but it is not yet clear whether these steps will be enough to stop students from moving away from jobs whose primary appeal is helping society.

...idea of renaming Chestnut-cum-Plympton after Halberstam strikes some, including this newspaper’s leadership, as heresy. The post office can’t be too eager, either. But Cambridge has a long tradition of rechristening its thoroughfares: Holyoke Street was once Crooked Lane; Charles River Road yielded to Memorial Drive.

Crimson reporters have long dreamed of adding their names to the newspaper’s hallowed hallway of Pulitzers. But the whole street? Halberstam will have raised the stakes considerably...
After the Boston Globe reported that Harvard is looking to purchase TV and radio station WBZ’s nine-acre property on Soldier’s Field Road, Allston residents and the City of Boston say they are withholding judgment until the University’s plans for the land become more definite. On Saturday, the Boston Globe reported that WBZ-TV President and general manager Ed Piette said that talks between the University and the station had intensified recently, although they were nowhere near reaching an agreement. The CBS-owned station, which lies a short walk away from...
