Review of Ivory Tower (2014) by Eric H — 02 Jan 2015

While "Ivory Tower" is not primarily student-focused, it contains perhaps no more stirring or eloquent moment than the one in which Bob Estrin, one of the many students who occupied Bharucha's office in 2013, stares down the president and declares that Cooper Union is on the verge of an "historic moment" - an opportunity for the school to reaffirm, rather than abandon, its commitment to the highest ideal of a free education.

Realistic or not, it's one of the few moments here that leave us feeling not just concerned for the state of America's future leaders, but hopeful and even inspired.
