	Harvard Gazette: Faculty of Arts and Sciences - Memorial Minute
		His natural authority, self-assurance, crisp style, mastery of precise language, impatience with fools, and extensive curiosity allowed him to be both an imperious and an extremely popular leader of the faculty; at faculty meetings, he was something of a tamer lionized by his dazzled lions.
		His role was decisive in the establishment of the Center for International Affairs and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, as well as in obtaining the faculty's approval, in 1960, for the new inter-disciplinary undergraduate concentration in Social Studies.
		He helped make the Program for Harvard College a success - thanks to which resources for new chairs, for more financial aid to students, for an ambitious building program, for the launching of the Loeb Theatre and the Carpenter Center, for new academic curricula in theater and the arts, and for new laboratories were obtained.

	A Slightly Grayer Faculty
		Eight years after the change, Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) does seem to be graying slightly, but the dire impact that some predicted has not yet arrived in Cambridge (see "Scholarly Senescence?" November-December 1996, page 62).
		More tend to stay on after 70 in the natural sciences, with the social sciences in the middle," says the FAS's associate dean for academic affairs, Vincent Tompkins, Ph.D. "At that point in their careers, what the humanists seem to want most is time.
		Harvard does offer professors the option of taking their last two years before retirement at half-time, to create a more gradual transition, and "a healthy number make that choice," he says.

		The motion, which stated, "The faculty lacks confidence in the leadership of Lawrence H. Summers," passed by a slim margin of approximately 52%, with 218 faculty members voting in favor, 185 voting against, and 18 choosing to abstain.
		Turning his attention to the faculty, he said, "It's depressing to me that the enemy of academic freedom is in our own ranks." He drew an analogy between the faculty's treatment of Summers and McCarthyism and claimed to be "astounded" that his colleagues had yet to acknowledge the parallels.
		Is it really appropriate for the Harvard faculty to vote on whether the statistical distributions of visuospatial abilities in men and women have the same variance?" Pinker contended, regarding Summers' controversial analysis of statistical variance presented at the NBER Conference.

		In the past two weeks, since Harvard's statistics on hiring women became public, a new professors' group has arisen: the Senior Faculty Caucus for Gender Equality, which now has 70 members, or four-fifths of the female senior professors who teach at Harvard College.
		In separate interviews, however, the two professors said they were disappointed with the response from Summers and William C. Kirby, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
		Harvard officials have previously said that new divisional deans are better positioned to improve diversity, and Summers said a diverse faculty has always been a priority for him.

		As a Harvard undergraduate, I learned from general-education courses that were shaped by another Harvard faculty curriculum committee, which crafted "Education in a Free Society" (The Red Book), and I am still learning from those courses as I prepare to return for my 50th Harvard reunion.

	Faculty no-confidence for for Harvard president (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		- Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences passed a no-confidence vote against President Lawrence Summers on Tuesday, the latest setback for the embattled university leader who has come under fire for his managerial style and comments on women in science.
		The faculty group is one of 10 that comprise the university, and Summers reports to the Harvard Corporation, the university's governing board, which has expressed its support for him.
		The unexpected passage of the vote was nonetheless a significant setback to Summers' efforts to rebuild his standing with Harvard's faculty in the wake of the uproar over his comments about women in science at an academic conference in January.

		Tuesday's meeting was Summers' third with the arts and sciences faculty since the controversy erupted.
