I also point out that while it's true that my career certainly was not planned, there are connections between the various positions I've held. My degree in engineering, for example, helped me enormously in international negotiations, because the negotiations in which I was engaged tended to have a significant technological dimension. It was very useful to be able to speak the same language as the scientists and engineers. There's a greater emphasis here on undergraduate education. At Harvard, undergraduates do not as a general rule take any courses in the professional schools.
Undergraduates here have an opportunity to take advantage of more of the university.
It serves as a portal through which many people first see the university. That tends not to be the case for Ivy League universities. It's very positive. Many young people first come to know the university through its athletic teams. Once the spotlight is on you, I like to say, you've got to be able to dance.
