Interesting piece: The Harvard Crimson :: Doubting Douthat. The Crimson editorial staff respond to an Atlantic Journal article by Ross Douthat which shares some general reflections on his Harvard experience (see the Crimson article for a fairly good summary). I’m conflicted about what I think of Ross’s article because it seems that many of his beefs with Harvard were the result of his own choices. Sure, you can find easy classes, but I found plenty of challenging courses which taught me a lot.
I suspect I’ll have more to say about this after it has simmered for a while.
