The presidents of Harvard and Lafayette College offer a defense of traditional higher education.Education is a life long process.

Advertising is news other people pay to have one know.
Reporting is news one will pay to know.
Editing is balancing content so that advertising pays for the production of a salable product stream.
Editorial failures are common.

The Upshot
Millennial Men Aren’t the Dads They Thought They’d Be
Young men who aspire to be hands-on fathers shift to a more traditional role once they have children, studies show. Workplace policies may be partly responsible.We should determine to what extent roles are genetically determined.
Engineering society will be easier if we understand our capabilities.
Pushing the envelope is less deadly if the envelope is understood.

Today’s Exhausted Superkids
Overpacked days lead to restless nights, and more experts are rightly questioning the sense — and safety — of that.All life leads to death.
On the way we should find joy.
