Speaking Veritas to Harvard

Submitted by JAMES STEPAN, Jul 11, 2007 14:39

Graciously these remarks are meaningful because as a former consultant in the Boston area who has interviewed numerous "gradates" from Harvard I am pleased to recognize that there is a monumental shift occurring on that school's campus worthy of praise. I have met on a single occasion Larry Summers and my immediate impression was of humble thoroughness. He is an establishment Democrat and I am not but meeting him and his wife at a casual affair I left positively impressed. When the faculty at Harvard went politically-correct berserk forcing his resignation I felt that the noted finest educational institution in America had continued to conceal its "Veritas". But it was the undergraduate students that stood up in Mr. Summers's defense. It was they whom insisted on better standards from the faculty, because the students are the ones experiencing the fraud that permeates deep in the crevasses and ivied walls of America's premier university. Now we learn `that the true independent minded free thinkers; ergo; "graduates", are those that choose to be organizationally different and dedicating their youth to the military experience.
