Harvard received over $151 million in foreign government donations between January 2020 and October 2024, with more than $100 million coming from the UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bangladesh.

Columns: Competition Shouldn’t Cost Us Our Friendships
Siyanee A. Redda critiques Harvard’s hyper-competitive culture, arguing that it extends beyond academics to friendships, making social interactions feel transactional. With students constantly chasing internships, club roles, and accolades, even casual hangouts are disrupted by job applications and LinkedIn updates. Redda urges students to reclaim genuine connections by setting aside competition, carving out device-free moments, and prioritizing friendships over relentless self-advancement. While Harvard’s rigor is unavoidable, she argues that fostering a supportive, collaborative community can prevent ambition from eroding meaningful relationships.
专栏：竞争不应该让我们失去友谊
西亚尼A. Redda批评哈佛的超竞争文化，认为不仅限于学术，还延伸到友谊，创造社交互动感觉。由于学生不断抢占实习机会、奖学金职位和荣誉，即使是休闲关系也申请工作和LinkedIn更新所打乱。Redda敦促放弃学生竞争，创造无设备时刻，优先考虑建立友谊而不是破坏自我提升，建立真正的自我提升。虽然哈佛的非常好重新重要的，但她认为，建立一个相互支持、相互协作的社区可以防止野心上的。
Columns: A Liberal Arts Education Without the Arts
Vander O.B. Ritchie argues that Harvard’s liberal arts education is failing to support the arts, forcing students to turn to extracurriculars for artistic engagement. While a 2007 report acknowledged these gaps, the university’s response—such as the creation of the Theatre, Dance, and Media concentration—has been insufficient, with limited resources and course availability. Ritchie calls for increased funding, faculty expansion, and departmental restructuring to better integrate the arts into Harvard’s curriculum. Without such reforms, he suggests Harvard should provide greater support to student-run arts organizations, which currently fill the gap.
专栏：没有艺术的文科教育
范德·OB·里奇认为，哈佛的文科教育未能支持艺术，从而导致学生转向课外活动进行艺术参与。虽然2007年的一份报告承认了这些差距，但该校的回应——例如戏剧戏剧、舞蹈和媒体专业——还不够，资料来源和课程有限。里奇呼吁增加资金、马德里师资和部门重组，以便更好地终止巴基斯坦哈佛艺术的课程。如果没有这样的改革，他建议哈佛应该为学生经营组织的艺术提供更多支持，这些组织目前填补了这一空白。
Columns: Harvard Students Have Grocery Options. We Refuse To Use Them.
Mac M. Mertens challenges the common belief that Harvard Square lacks accessible grocery stores, arguing that students' reliance on CVS stems more from convenience than necessity. While many assume CVS price-gouges, a Crimson study found its prices comparable to other locations. Meanwhile, nearby stores like Wholesome Fresh, Broadway Marketplace, and two Trader Joe’s within a mile offer ample grocery options. Mertens suggests that the real issue isn’t a lack of stores but rather students’ unwillingness to venture beyond the immediate Square for better deals.
专栏：哈佛学生有食品杂货选择。我们拒绝使用它们。
Mac M. Mertens质疑哈佛广场缺乏杂货店的普遍看法，他认为学生对CVS的依赖更多是为了方便而不是必要。虽然许多人认为CVS价格虚高，但Crimson的一项研究发现其价格与其他地点相当。与此同时，附近的Wholesome Fresh、百老汇市场和一英里内的Trader Joe's等商店提供了充足的杂货选择。我认为，真正的问题不是缺乏商店，而学生不会冒险离开广场广场的交易。
Flyby: Top Ten Things to Door Drop
Elyse C. Goncalves humorously embraces the impending arrival of door mailboxes at Harvard, suggesting creative and mildly mischievous items to leave for unsuspecting recipients. The list includes practical offerings like granola bars and $5 bills, alongside absurd ones like rogue socks, discarded syllabi, and Rickroll QR codes. She playfully mocks the concept of unsolicited distributions, turning it into an opportunity for student amusement. Ultimately, the piece satirizes both the Salient’s advocacy for door mail and the inevitability of students using it for lighthearted pranks rather than intellectual discourse.

Macular degeneration: Will a supplement cocktail slow it down?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in individuals over 50. While treatment for advanced dry AMD was previously limited, recent research suggests that the AREDS2 supplement formula—comprising vitamins and antioxidants—might slow disease progression, even in late-stage cases. Studies show that the formula can reduce retinal thinning and slow vision loss. Though the FDA has approved medications for late-stage dry AMD, their effectiveness is debated, as they increase the risk of converting to wet AMD. Dr. Joan Miller recommends the AREDS2 supplement and healthy lifestyle habits to help manage the condition.

老年性黄斑性(AMD)是50岁以上人群视力丧失的关键。虽然对晚期干性AMD的治疗有限，最近的研究调整，AREDS2补充配方（包含维生素和抗氧化）虽然会破坏疾病进展，即使在晚期病例中也存在。如此研究调整，该配方将减少变薄并消除视力丧失。FDA已批准治疗晚期干性AMDAMD·米勒博士，但建议服用AREDS2补充并进行健康的生活方式来帮助控制病情。
