At a time when the buzzword of “innovation” is everywhere, when the allure of the new drives business, politics and society, what do we intend by our celebration of endurance and of history? Why do we see history as an essential part of our identity? Why is Harvard’s past an invaluable resource as we decide how to shape the future?In a quite literal sense, history creates our identity – who we as Harvard actually are – and as a result who we aspire to live in a munity made up not just of the students, faculty and staff now here – or even the 300,000 Harvard alumni around the are part of a munity that extends across time as well as acknowledge an indelible connection to those who have e before – predecessors both recent and remote, who remind us of what is possible for us by their demonstration of what was possible for ’s history instills both expectations and responsibilities as it challenges us to inhabit this cannot study philosophy here without sighting the ghosts of John Rawls, Willard Quine, Benjamin Peirce, Ralph Waldo Emerson, or William cannot study law without thinking of the 18 Harvard Law School alumni who have served as Supreme Court justices, including the 6 currently on the bench – not to mention the graduate in the White House and the seven presidents with Harvard degrees who have preceded who appear on Harvard stages surely imagine themselves as Jack Lemmon or Natalie Portman or Stockard Channing, directed by the equivalents of Peter Sellars, Diane Paulus, or Mira perhaps our aspiring actors see themselves in John Lithgow and Tommy Lee Jones, who returned together for Arts First weekend earlier this month to reminisce about their thespian adventures in those seeking to change the world through technology are sure to reflect on Zuckerberg, Ballmer, and these domains and so many others, we have the privilege of living alongside a remarkable heritage of have certainly not e to work and study here in Cambridge and Boston because of the weather – though this past winter suggests climate change may be altering are drawn here because others before us have set a standard that extends across centuries in its power and its think of ourselves in their pany。（4）cold call：營銷人員打給陌生客戶推銷商品的電話。我迫不及待地想知道你們會(huì)變成什么樣子。它使你
