Columbia Beats Harvard! And?

By Bwog Staff on Sep 04, 2010 9 Comments

The quick takeaway from James Piereson’s recent WSJ op-ed (excerpted from a longer piece in The New Criterion), “Where Columbia Beats Harvard”: our Core Curriculum is far superior to Harvard’s set of abstruse distribution requirements. So that’s neat! In fact, add to this upset CU’s recent jump up those knuckleheaded US News rankings, and Columbia […]

By Bwog Staff on Sep 04, 2010 5 Comments

Tomorrow, there will be no more advice. So relish it today. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get out of the Foreign Language requirement!

Every department does things differently: the Division of Student Affairs gives us Dean Shollenberger, who has […]

Batten Down the Hatches, Take a Nap

By Bwog Staff on Sep 03, 2010 6 Comments

Hurricane Earl is ready to spew some nasty moderate rain over Manhattan. Barnard Director of Public Safety Dianna Pennetti sent out a rather alarmist email to students this afternoon and here’s the takeaway: There’s a Tropical Storm Watch in effect for Manhattan this evening. So it might rain and be windy like Claremont Ave. in […]

By Bwog Staff on Sep 03, 2010 8 Comments

Zoe Camp, BC ’14, was on a boat last night. This year’s New York City Event started off with a heavy dose of déjà vu. 2014ers strolling—or in the case of the many high-heel-clad girls, clopping—onto the flight deck of the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum were greeted by a clapping, whooping sea of […]
