The Divining Rod

College: Berkeley

Profile: Divining rods, traditionally Y-shaped branches, are still used in some places to find underground streams or aquifers. Though scientifically invalid, the practice is a good metaphor for a deeper look at culture in general, and Yale’s culture in particular. The Divining Rod maps out the undercurrents of topical controversies, as well as digging to find the assumptions and motivations that run beneath the ways Yalies see themselves and the world. Alternate Tuesdays.
