...arguments the committee chooses to make," Bok said in response to written questions submitted by The Crimson. "[But] I was not persuaded by what the committee said at our meeting, which is not surprising since the committee seemed to be unaware of what I had written on the subject," including a letter on divestment he wrote three years ago to the council...

...first great achievement among his series was the Grainstacks of 1890-91. Monet painted at least 25 of them, and they seem almost polemical because their subject looks so odd and raw.
