Harvard Salient
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Harvard Salient was founded in 1981, and is one of the oldest in a movement of conservative newspapers established in the Ivy League during the beginnings of the Reagan administration.
It publishes biweekly. The Harvard Salient has often started heated campus debates, often owing to the "Back Page" feature, which features parodies of Harvard's politically correct culture.
Past editors include the Wall Street Journal's Naomi Schaefer Riley, the critic and Atlantic Monthly author Ross Douthat, Commentary contributor Kevin Shapiro, Claremont McKenna College Professor Charles Kesler, and other up-and-coming conservative intellectuals.
The current faculty advisors are William R. Kennan, Jr. Professor of Government Harvey C. Mansfield, Professor of Armenian Studies James Russell, and Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and Professor of Comparative Literature Ruth Wisse.
