...Once he made his decision, Patil studied Sanskrit at Harvard until he exhausted all of the courses available to him. He then went to the University of Chicago to finish his doctorate. In addition to his university studies, Patil spent summers traveling to India to learn the classical texts in the traditional way. This meant going to the house of a trained teacher each day and examining a text in depth, line by line. Many of his teachers only spoke to him in Sanskrit...
When he retires from his full-time teaching position at the end of this academic year, Professor of the History of Science Everett I. Mendelsohn will have spent nearly 50 years as a member of the Harvard faculty, making his mark as one of a group of scholars who studied the relationship between science and society. It took him a far shorter amount of time—the twenty or so years of life that led up to his study at Antioch College, where he joint concentrated in biology and history—for Mendelsohn to realize that scientific advances...
...including everything has become bland gruel.Consequently, students’ worst fears look set to be realized: General Education will be nothing more than Core version 2.0. Why over four years’ infighting, squabbling, and report-writing was necessary to spawn it is a mystery.

That is the thing about Sarkar: he is completely surprising. But don’t just take it from me. Arie V. Zakaryan ’07, his roommate of four years, says...
...Over the three years I spent writing for The Crimson, this was a response that came not too infrequently when I told my friends that I spent more time in the Science Center than in Sever Hall. My fellow writers were always surprised to find a scientist—a budding scientist, anyway—stashed among a staff comprised largely of social studies, government, and history and literature concentrators. My grounding in the sciences made me a bit of a curiosity. And a geek...
