Summer is here and we need to consider more traditional summer refreshment. Chris at the Library Lounge has proved to be an excellent resource on martinis, so he probably knows something about margaritas as well. Since he works in New Orleans, we can be sure he knows something about summer.
Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust received high marks for honoring Harvard’s ROTC graduates. She did not attend the ROTC commissioning ceremony last year and had indicated that she use her attendance this year to denounce the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
President Faust did remark, however:
I wish that there were more of you. I believe that every Harvard student should have the opportunity to serve in the military as you do and as those honored in the past have done.
Of course, some Harvard students don’t have the opportunity to serve in the military for a variety of reasons, including their citizenship or residency, age, physical disability, or unwillingness to take the oath. But let’s look on the bright side. The president of Harvard showed up at the ROTC graduation ceremony to honor the newly commissioned officers, and that’s a positive sign.
