Statham, though his trombone skills were limited, turned out to be a great singer and performer...
...expertise to instruct and grade. These people, barely older than we are, control our lives for several hours each week. Yes, my friends, I speak of that peculiar and misguided aspect of a Harvard education so misrepresented in the brochures and misapplied in practice—the section and its accompanying TF.The section, at least as it was described to me when I applied to college, was some sort of glorious ivory tower summit between a small group of students and a professor or an expert graduate student in the field.
