While anecdotal evidence has typically been used to show that faculty at Ivy League universities are politically slanted towards the left, only recently have actual statistical studies been conducted to show the true extent of that bias. The results only confirmed what had been obvious to many students – that the faculty of humanities departments [...]

As a freshman who lives in Keeney Quad, I often walk by the John Carter Brown Library, where the words “Speak to the Past and It Shall Teach Thee” are fittingly carved in stone. Some might regard this exhortation as more than passing strange. But, as a nascent classicist, I particularly like it.
That is [...]

I get a sympathetic response from my friends when I talk about my relationship with my parents. Growing up, video games and television were virtually non-existent in my household. Discipline from intensive education and sports dominated my childhood. I rarely have phone conversations with my parents. Our communication is primarily through email and usually about [...]

If nothing else, former-Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas practices what he preaches. Standing in front of an auditorium at Brown University, where a recent Brown Daily Herald poll found that 86.1% of students support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, Huckabee proclaimed that he enjoys talking to people who are his polar opposites.

David Horowitz’s recent advertisement in The Brown Daily Herald is not my first encounter with his brand of argument. As Joshua Unseth ‘09 pointed out on BrownIvy.com (a conservative blog I adamantly invite the reader to peruse), Horowitz published in the Herald several years ago ten reasons why slave reparations were a bad idea. And, [...]

Massachusetts, once so known for outpacing its neighbors in government theft that it was labeled Taxachusetts, can brag about its comparative improvement – at least to other New England states. But its proclivity for holidays – Bunker Hill Day, Patriots Day, Evacuation Day, Juneteenth – still outpaces Rhode Island, which holds stubbornly to only VJ [...]

This past July, the presidents of 130 colleges (and counting) all over the United States formed the Amethyst Initiative, a group whose goal is to “re-examine the drinking age.” These presidents want to “support a debate” about the current drinking age because they believe that the forbidden nature of alcohol—due to a nationwide drinking [...]

Last year, a number of Brown’s eating establishments invited students to put their original art on the walls. Since then, the walls have slowly become smattered with the good, the bad, the ugly, and the sometimes funny art of Brown University students. Despite the seemingly innocuous nature of wall art, however, here is where we [...]

I have wanted to go to medical school and law school since I was 16 years old. I was so passionate about saving lives that I wanted to be a doctor. I had a knack for science, so I had already won half the battle. Yet, I was also so passionate about [...]

Tired athletes, ravenous snackers and generally everyone who missed the 7:30 Ratty/V-Dub deadline descended as usual upon Josiah’s on the evening of Friday, September 25th. Walking through the doors they were first greeted by displays of balloons, and as they wondered what was going on while they waited innocently in line for their hamburgers, they [...]
