Once a week, they carefully sift through dirt to discover fragments of history and glimpses into lives that seem both foreign and familiar. A bone comb, a white clay pipe, and a piece of metal type from Colonial America’s first printing press: artifacts that are as much about appearance, leisure, and technol- ogy as they are about a diferent time. How did our predecessors inhabit and experience Harvard? How did they change it? I reflect on those questions each time we begin a new construc- tion project—an increasingly common occurrence thanks to the Harvard Campaign.

Sidney epitomized Seeger’s three ideals: “Love and Arms and Song,” which contrasted with the materialism and sophistication of modernity. His embrace of “Arms” and the desire for intense, authentic experience led Seeger, who was living in Paris in August 1914, to enlist in the French Foreign Legion, in which he served until his death in combat in July 1916.

Kennedy 2 | PBHA ANNUAL REPORT Dear PBHA Supporters, Phillips Brooks House Association’s 2015 was a truly remark- able year and one that illustrates, perhaps more than ever, the power and impact of what we can accomplish together. This year we were so proud to support the creation and opening of Y2Y (Youth to Youth) Harvard Square, a youth shelter which, thanks to the leadership of alumni Sam Green- berg and Sarah Rosenkrantz, is a powerful example of how we can address some of society’s greatest needs by building partnerships. Y2Y’s opening, which followed an extensive renovation of the space located at First Parish in Cambridge, Unitarian Universalist, united students, homeless youth, residents, business owners, elected officials, and donors in the shared mission of tripling the number of shelter beds dedicated to 18-24 year-olds in Greater Boston. HOPE, the Harvard Organization for Prison Education and Reform, built connections between the prison education programs that have been part of PBHA for more than 60 years and strengthened advocacy efforts addressing abuses in the criminal justice system. With the help of the 2015 Robert Coles Call of Service lecturer and honoree, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, Boston and Cambridge youth joined with Harvard student groups to show their commitment to the ideals of this critical movement.

HH: I was an English major, but I knew that I wanted to go to medical school. So I combined my concentration in English with taking the prerequisites at college for my candidacy for medical school. Because the war was on and it was really not possible to continue without abbreviating considerably my college experience, I left without a Harvard degree, that is, a bachelor’s degree. Having applied to medical school and been accepted at medical school, at Harvard Medical School, on the basis of really 1 two and a half years of college. I didn’t have a bachelor’s degree.

  • Eliot, As Is Well Known, Chose Conrad's Words for His Epigraph to the Hoilow Men'
    LEITURA -INGLÊS: ENSINO E LITERATURAS, n, 36. p. 71-83, jul./dez, 2005 FROM LILAC TO LARKSPUR: SELF-REFUTATION IN T. S. ELIOTS LATER POETRYl^» Chris Joyce^*' Abstract: This paper argues tliat much of Eliot's poetr}'is xinconsdously self-refutational and self-deceived. Onr attention is distracted from tliis by its lyricism and inrensely personal poignancy. Disgust at the contemplation of humanity, and self-disgust, underlie Eliot's parodie treatment of life: the horror of the sinfulness of the flesh, which can 'only die'. I argue that, while \ve cannot ask a poet to give an untruthful report of experience,something is wrong when the creative faculty is given so strongly to expressions of general disgust, over and above ElÍot's anti-semitism, niisogyny, sexual ambivalence and prurience. To counterbalance this effect, Eliot posits tlie ambivalent 'enchantment' of 'death's twilight kingdom', with its promise of redemption from sin, and tlie enchantment of chüdhood memories, which he presents as uldmately beguiiing and illusory. But in 'Marina' die quasi-liturgical passage on spiritual death is 'placed' by the effect of the poem as a whole. Similarly, the life and vitaüty of the sixth section of 'Ash- Wednesday' evokes poetic values wliich repudiate the author's conscious intentions. In 'Little Gidding' he recalls Tliings ill done and done to others' harm.* Itis the compound ghost who speaks (containing the Eliodc alter-ego), die Brunetto Latini of Canto of the Inferno. That Eliot is, in a broad sense, sexually — and dierefore humanly — maladjusted explains die persistent presence in liis work of a condidon which 'remains to poison life and obstruct acdon,' His major cridcs have been curiously uncridcal in this regard.

  • 2021 Virtual Annual Event
    ?! 2021 Virtual Annual Event Thursday MAY 20, 2021 7-8:15 PM The mission of the Youth Advocacy Foundation (YAF) is to end the school- to-prison pipeline in Massachusetts by ensuring that our state's most vulnerable children receive a quality education through expert legal advocacy. By envisioning a future in which all youth enjoy the full rights and protections of a fair and equitable justice system, YAF works to decrease the risk of chronic court involvement and to increase the chance that young people grow into healthy, thriving adults through zealous legal representation, vibrant community-based services, and equitable access to quality education. YAF's EdLaw Project has been in existence since 2001 and has provided direct representation to over 2,000 children The EdLaw Project exists to ensure that the most vulnerable children in Massachusetts--court-involved youth from low-income families, often with disabilities, and predominantly children of color--have equitable access to a quality education by providing legal representation in matters of school discipline, academic failure, and unmet special needs. EdLaw offers training and support to court-appointed attorneys across the state to help them incorporate education advocacy into their practice. EdLAw attorneys are organized by region, and support the 1000 person juvenile bar that represents the 20-25,000 kids involved in the child welfare or juvenile justice systems. By advancing education advocacy, the EdLaw Project seeks to address one of the root causes of the school-to-prison pipeline: children being pushed out of or failing in school. As a result of the work of the EdLAw attorneys, many children are remaining in school with the service they need to thrive.
