You know so little about Harvard yet you continue to denigrate the school. Harvard actually has a long history of accepting minority students.

Sounds like you’re still p.o.’d that Harvard turned you down.

Harvard turned me down at three levels, but I deserved it and I'm not po'd about it, now that I've grown up.

HOWEVER

There is no doubt that the intellectual ability of grads, even HMS grads, is in serious decline.

Now, that's part of a much larger trend, true, but it's also true that the mission John Harvard bequeathed to the New College was, in essence, to run counter to anti-intellectual and anti-social trends, a mission at which the College and associated Schools are now, quite conspicuously, failing.

Harvard has a long record of tokenism. Nothing more than that. BTW, with respect to Harvard, they recruited me ~ gave me an acceptance.
