...says he’s busy,” Petersen said, adding that Tulane students who wish to remain at Harvard, even if they decide to apply as fall transfer students, should not be forced to return to Tulane in January and face a semester of uncertainty. Some Tulane upperclassmen, on the other hand, criticized their freshmen counterparts at Harvard for not wanting to return to New Orleans. Sarah M. Hattier, a visiting Tulane sophomore, believes that Tulane freshmen should honor their agreement with Harvard and return to Tulane next semester. “If they’d like...
...FYSC still leaves room for improvement. We envision that the FYSC be free of UC oversight and work more closely with the FDO to coordinate event planning. Furthermore, we recommend that the FYSC investigate the possibility of enlisting the Prefect Program for assistance in planning some events. Many upperclassmen have already had a hand in some sort of social planning, and past Prefect Program events—notably the Harvard Idol competition for freshmen—have proved to be a resounding success. The ingredients for a successful freshman social life are already in place or will be soon...
...will be minimal, and possibly even positive. There are only eight freshmen here from Tulane, and the transfer admission rate hovers around 6 or 7 percent, so even if every visiting freshman applied to transfer, it is unlikely that more than one or two would be accepted.

The Harvard social scene has been the subject of heated criticism in recent years, in particular the lack of social options for freshmen.But now, student groups and the College administration—including the First...
...ever more interested in the history of Africa. Last year saw a lengthy stay in Tanzania and a summer-long visit to Ghana. My Swahili is solid, and my French is ready to be improved. Things poised as they are, academia is not out of the question.But like many upperclassmen, a fair bit of existential anxiety has lately welled up in me. Here’s my problem: I love history, but I am ambivalent about becoming an academic—the whitest of white-collar professionals, whose usefulness to society at large is questionable, who at worst appears...
