<p>Other than being low, isn't it illegal to use Yale's name on a billboard without Yale's permission.</p>
<p>Seems really tacky. The Canadian college comes off with a major inferiority complex.</p>
<p>Yes. Schools that have to define themselves by how they compare to other schools come off that way.</p>
<p>I was waiting for you to bring that up again Byerly! Nice...now the Yalies FINALLY know how it feels.</p>
<p>In matters large and small, Harvard shows the way, and others follow.</p>
<p>Yes, especially in the sciences and engineering!</p>
<p>You are of course correct, lad. The times, they are a changin'.</p>
<p>that's not "showing the way." that's following others' way, strenuously, in an effort to make up decades of distance behind (in engineering, not the sciences more generally).</p>
<p>Of course it is, Princeton Troll; read the report. <a href="http://www.harvardmagazine.com/special/pdf/committee_report.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.harvardmagazine.com/special/pdf/committee_report.pdf</a></p>
<p>Its not just the mega-billions that will be invested, and the expansion of existing programs (including engineering,) but the major changes in <em>how</em> science will be taught.</p>
<p>Both Princeton and Stanford have committed "mega-billions" for science education and infrastructure long before Harvard even thought of Allston as an area of conquest under Summers. </p>
<p>I'm sure Scottie can link to Princeton's plans, and if you've been on Stanford's campus this summer, Byerly, you can see the extensive construction going on in western side of campus as part of the larger SEQ2 project. </p>
<p>Harvard has realized a need to change how it teaches engineering, etc., because it does lag in that area, especially for undergraduates.</p>
<p>Having a Mormon as Governor must hurt stem-cell funding!</p>
<p>Not a minor fraction, in either case, of what is involved here. </p>
<p>You apparently haven't recognized the enormity of this initiative by a school which hardly "lags" in the sciences at present.</p>
<p>When you say "<em>how</em> science is taught", do you mean moving Biology lectures to sanders auditorium to accomodate 500 students because the faculty is unwilling to teach the class in smaller groups? </p>
<p>definitely leading the way</p>
<p>Oh, I recognize the enormity, because it's already going on at Stanford.</p>
<p>cool thing</p>
<p>Commenting on a four and a half year old thread?</p>
