The sociologist Max Weber argued that while bureaucrats wield impressive power and social prestige, the influence and honor they enjoy is never truly theirs to possess. Instead, it typically derives from their office. If they are pushed out of their position or institution, their wealth and status tend to vanish precipitously, as well. In order to avoid this outcome, Weber concluded, bureaucrats tend to avoid alienating anyone with the capacity to strip them of their rank and prestige (even to the point of compromising their integrity or alienating large swaths of the rest of society to ingratiate themselves with elite gatekeepers).

Behind the Ivy Intifada

stepping out of the old library on the edge of campus, i caught sight of something peculiar. my elder university still has its original, industrial street lamps, under which i saw another student smoking a pipe. he was quite tall and his dusty blond hair was pushed out of his face. his dress was semi-formal: a crest-patched blazer and khakis; he wore round, tortoise-shell spectacles. my eyes lingered on the odd vision in case it suddenly vanished, but it didn’t. i’d never seen anyone smoke a pipe outside of a film, let alone someone so young. as i continued the journey home to my dormitory, i got the feeling i would not see him again.

Free College Resources from Harvard Edtech Startup

Current undergrad here -- wanted to share some really cool free resources on applying to college and scholarships that myself + friends at Harvard & MIT put together. We've put together a newsletter twice a month that includes time-relevant admissions advice/free resources and closing scholarship/extracurricular program deadlines (https://www.missionmentor.org/). For example: right now, check out LaunchX, Clark Scholars, and the M3 Challenge. Newsletter sign-up also puts you on a waitlist for our product (also completely free!) which we're currently beta testing to a limited amount of users. Passing along some resources/opportunities I missed out on myself in HS ❤️ --would highly recommend you check out past newsletters & subscribe.
