“You’re going to see a lot of diversity in the room,” Cassandra Fradera, A.L.M. ’17, co-president of the Harvard Latinx Student Alliance (HLSA), said last week.

Biden began his address to Harvard College seniors by whipping out a pair of shades, bringing College dean Rakesh Khurana to the podium, and saying, “We’re going to break the Internet.” But after the selfie was taken, and the audience had laughed at the inside jokes about the Hong Kong Restaurant, scorpion bowls, and the net worth of Mark Zuckerberg (the next day’s featured speaker), the speech took a turn for the serious.

From the Archives: The Citizen’s Right to Know Is On the Line
Political and constitutional questions currently generating headlines in the national media—concerns about executive overreach, the balance of power between presidents and Congress, and access to reliable information both from and within the government—were equally troubling more than 40 years ago, when this magazine, then The Harvard Bulletin, covered a Commencement week University symposium on a fundamental issue of democracy.

Terence Davies captures Emily Dickinson's life and spirit in "A Quiet Passion"
Next fall, Houghton Library will publish a gift-book edition of some lesser-known lines by Emily Dickinson: her recipe for black cake, brief on the page but epic in scale.
