As chairs of The Harvard Crimson’s arts section in 2016, Victoria Lin and I oversaw the production of “The Creative Classroom,” the first themed supplement published by our section during the spring semester. The issue considers students’ artistic pursuits and relatively unknown applications of the arts in classes. Articles include: spotlights on undergraduate theses across the humanities departments at Harvard; interviews with professors that bring new perspectives into the arts; and stories on creative writing at Harvard, alumni who have pursued the arts in their careers, and “Deriving the Right Note,” a feature-length investigation into the application of the arts in one part of the engineering department.
