Edward Glaeser: Should We All Be Living in Cities?
Cities are an integral part of Earth’s future: by 2050, 68 percent of the world’s population will be living in an urban area. Solutions to social problems, from climate change to poverty, will therefore be tied to the fates of cities. In this episode, Glimp professor of economics Edward Glaeser explains why he is overwhelmingly optimistic about urban growth. Cities, he says, are engines of innovation and economic activity that create opportunity.
A Transformative Gift of Dutch Drawings
The Harvard Art Museums have received 330 seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish master drawings—according to the museum, the finest private collection of such images anywhere—from George Abrams ’54, J.D. ’57. His gift includes work by more than 100 artists, including Rembrandt and de Gheyn, as well as lesser known names, and will distinguish Harvard and the Boston area as a top site for the study of Dutch art outside Europe.
One Step Closer to a New Alma Mater
After releasing a draft of recommendations developed through conversations and listening sessions with Harvard faculty, students, and staff, the Presidential Task Force on Inclusion and Belonging has selected a longlist of 20 choices from among 168 submissions to replace the final line of Harvard’s alma mater.

(Harvard is 1-0 in the Ivy League.) The Hoyas, members of the Patriot League, dropped to 1-3.
Past’s Presence | Harvard Magazine
The Radcliffe Institute’s annual barbecue felt a bit like a cafeteria on the first day of high school. Heavy rains the previous night forced the event into a nearby lecture hall, and the new fellows shuffled from table to table, making small talk about their projects and trying to find a place to sit. In the line for the buffet, a woman in front of me politely asked what I was studying. I told her, “History and literature,” and she sighed.
Football 2017: Harvard 45, Brown 28
Brown had just scored a safety against Harvard at the Stadium on Saturday and the Bruins were starting a drive at their 29-yard line when your correspondent scribbled in his notebook: NO INTS. Meaning, through almost five quarters of play in the 2017 season, the Crimson defense had yet to snatch an opponent’s pass. Boy, Harvard could use a turnover now.
