Growing up, many students now at Harvard heard the mellifluous sounds of Edwards’ voice as they drove to school each day, a calming contrast to parental nagging that both informed and entertained. Edwards presented this generation with the sharp reality of the world in a kinder, gentler manner than the daily newspaper and without the flash and dumbing-down of the night-time news.

Administrators often shy away from this approach—instead choosing to focus on the more palatable public-relations response that the sharp rise of mental illness at Harvard can be attributed to scientific improvements, which have allowed more mental illness sufferers to achieve admittance to Harvard than ever before. While certainly a factor, this trend does not explain why so many undergraduates encounter mental health problems for the very first time after reaching college...
