...School is one of the most easily overlooked yet most innovative graduate schools in the University. It is also a financial disaster area, or in the Harvard idiom, a bottomless tub...
...schemes of social philanthropy and community investment seem doomed to founder in this dismal fiscal climate. But that is true only if ETOB ("every tub on its own bottom") remains the principal rule of allocation.

People need a sense of turf, a feeling that some familiar piece of space is always waiting to have emotions projected onto it. "If I'm unhappy and just want to get out of my room for a minute," said a senior occupying a tower single, "I leave my room and go look...
