  Harvard University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvard's athletic rivalry with Yale is intense in every sport in which they meet, coming to a climax in their annual football meeting, which dates to 1875 and is usually called simply The Game as a sign of its importance.
Harvard has a friendly rivalry with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which dates back to 1900, when a merger of the two schools was frequently mooted and at one point officially agreed upon (ultimately cancelled by Massachusetts courts).
In a move unprecedented in the history of Harvard on March 15, 2005, members of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which instructs graduate students in GSAS and undergraduates in Harvard College, passed 218-185 a motion of "lack of confidence" in the leadership of the current president Lawrence Summers, with 18 abstentions.

 EDUCATION REVIEW
Something of a red herring, Kirp uses the case of the University of Chicago to suggest that some consideration of market values and forces is a necessity and the intransigence of intellectuals who refuse to consider financial viability is simply petulant.
Their decision was forced by that fact that “nationwide between 1980 and 2000, the share of universities’ operating expenses paid for by state tax dollars was cut by 30 percent” (pp.
The best defined in the elite research contexts of Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia, and Oxford completely misses the point and value of distance education, which is typically addressed to those who could never reach elite standards and are not destined for elite careers.

 Lord Byron on Demand
Harvard University Press's backlist is both one of its greatest blessings on the world of scholars and a strong source of income—but only when solid senior-citizen books are kept in print and not allowed to slip into the forlorn territory of "out of stock indefinitely" (OSI) or "out of print" (OOP).
Now, however, the press has formed a partnership that does please—with Acme Bookbinding, a Boston institution more than 175 years old and headed by Paul Parisi '75—one that will allow the press to retain the rights to books and maintain control over the quality of their production.
"Acme, like HUP, is committed to preserving the past, while at the same time making use of the latest technologies to move publishing forward," says William Sisler, director of the press.

Barbara Kellerman, research director for the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University's John F.

 The Law of Peoples; with, The Idea of Public Reason Revisited. By John Rawls. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
These representatives will agree to maintain their independence, observe treaties, not interfere in other people’s affairs, use war only for self-defense, honor human rights, restrict the conduct of war, and assist peoples living under conditions which prevent a just social regime.
He starts by arguing that liberal societies have an obligation to respect non-liberal societies that are “decent.” These decent peoples are primarily hierarchical societies that deny their citizens full political equality, but do consult them on policy and guarantee them basic human rights such as life, liberty, property, and formal equality.
In a world of globalization and shifting power structures, it may be fair to at least ask how realistic the idea of “peoples” is and whether there is an even greater “practicable political possibility” than Rawls proposes.

 EDUCATION REVIEW
In advocating the reintroduction of a mass of special legal statuses in place of the Enlightenment, multiculturalists seem remarkably insouciant about the abuses and inequalities of the ancien regime which provoked the attacks on it by the Encyclopaedists and their allies.
A primary objection of multiculturalists is that the universalism of the Enlightenment and its gains in social, political, and human rights did not apply to many of the world’s populations and minority groups among them.
He sees the increasingly positive gains in the civil and human rights of minority groups and lifestyles as derivatives of the universalism of the Enlightenment and as continuations of that universalism.

Although the official founding of the Harvard University Press did not come until 1913, this history shows that there were antecedents at Harvard dating back to 1638.
A university press is a curious institution, dedicated to the dissemination of learning yet apart from the academic structure; a publishing firm that is in business, but not to make money; an arm of the university that is frequently misunderstood and occasionally attacked by faculty and administration.
Max Hall here chronicles the early stages and first sixty years of Harvard University Press in a rich and entertaining book that is at once Harvard history, publishing history,...

 A Life's Work
Following a stint at Harvard University Press that brought him to Boston, Peter had joined the staff of the Atlantic Monthly Press in 1956, then housed in the same offices as the magazine, and succeeded Seymour Lawrence as its editorial director in 1964.
Over the previous decade he had also established himself as a poet of stature, winning the Yale Younger Poets Prize for his first collection of poems, The Breaking of the Day, and publishing two other well-regarded volumes, The City and the Island (1966) and Pretending To Be Asleep (1970).
Peter's preferred method of holding court was reciting from memory poems he adored, (the quantity of lines he had by heart was prodigious), but when the occasion demanded, he could take on the mantle of the elder statesman with a flourish.
