BULLETINSEPTEMBER 2019

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
GENERAL MANAGER’S LETTER
1
Dear Members,
September marks the Autumnal Equinox, a time when we transition from summer into fall. Daylight will continue to diminish until December’s winter solstice, when our days will begin to grow longer until the cycle starts anew with June’s summer solstice. This seasonal renewal is no more evident than in the student surge we see in Boston and Cambridge each year. Part of any community’s greatness lies in its ability to adapt to change whether it be manifest in the four seasons, the local influx of first-year students, or embracing transformational ideas. Since our original Trinity Financial development proposal announcement in mid-July, the Board and I have engaged with over 200 members, all inquisitive and interested in healthy information gathering. We have learned that the vast majority of these members are not change averse; but they do want to learn the facts i.e. how the proposed development will affect them, the HCB community, our neighbors, and the long-term fiscal health of the Club.
To that end, Steve Cummings, Trinity and I have heldseveral member meetings to date, and we will continuethem after Labor Day. Contained herein is the latest“Roundtable for the Future” meeting schedule (page 4). We strongly encourage our members to attend these meetings, or contact me directly with your questions/concerns on the project. As you navigate the member-meeting dates, please be aware of our extraordinary post-Labor Day programming lineup. While the Club has featured startup companies in the past, this month for the first time we will showcase a startup venture out of Harvard’s Department of Philosophy, ThinkerAnalytix. On Wednesday 25 September, ThinkerAnalytix leaders in concert with Harvard Professors Ned Hall and Sean Kelley will lead a discussion on The Promise of Argument Mapping. In a moderated panel format, they will explore argument mapping’s potential for enriching philosophical, scientific, political and civic engagement.
And in the interest of promoting open, honest, and civil engagement, we want to hear from our members! I encourage you to contact me at [email protected] with your suggestions, concerns or general remarks.
Donec iterum, Veritas.
Matt Hegarty ‘82President, Harvard Club of Boston
Dear Members:

o Five additional overnight guest room renovations o A new steam boiler and heat exchangero Masonry repointingo Partial roof replacemento New kitchen equipment
Preparations are underway for an active fall and holiday season. Now is a perfect time to consider the Club as your host for a family or company event. I am pleased to report that member use of our Club continues to increase year over year. A special thanks to our dedicated staff for all they do. This past year was extremely active and I am very proud of the teamwork from all of our employees.
As referenced in Mr. Hegarty’s letter, we hope you can join us to learn more about, and get any questions you may have answered, at the Roundtable for the Future Series we are hosting in September and October. It’s important to us that our membership is fully informed about the developments for the Back Bay Clubhouse project.

THE PROMISE OF ARGUMENT MAPPINGHARVARD PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT FACULTY AND THINKERANALYTIX LEADERS
Wednesday, September 25, 20196:30 pm Reception7:00 pm Panel Discussion followed by Q&A8:15 pm Reception Continues Back Bay Clubhouse
Argument mapping is a visual method of displaying how reasons work to support a claim. A map exposes the fundamental structure of the argument so that everyone can see how all the reasons fit together. Join us to learn how argument mapping can develop critical thinking and reasoning skills, and what the practical benefits in terms of success in school and the workplace are.
Professors Ned Hall and Sean Kelly of Harvard’s Philosophy Department, and their pioneering colleagues at ThinkerAnalytix, will discuss the development and promise of argument mapping. The stated values of ThinkerAnalytics reveal the intentions and aspirations of argument mapping, so students can: • Think courageously to challenge beliefs and
institutions.• Experience the process of changing their minds. • Listen rigorously and work to understand those they
disagree with.
• Experience analysis and debate as exciting and constructive.
Professor Hall states, “the fact that we recognize a common framework means that your view is becoming intelligible to me.”
We will also explore argument mapping’s potential for enriching philosophical, scientific, political and civic engagement. To see an interactive argument mapping experience, click here.
Professor Hall is the Norman E. Vuilleumier Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department; and Sean Kelly is the Teresa G. and Ferdinand F. Martignetti Professor of Philosophy and Past Chair. Both serve on ThinkerAnalytix’s advisory board.
Please register early for this special complimentary event.

COCKTAILS & PUBLIC POLICY: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Wednesday, October 2, 20196:30 pm Registration & Mingling 7:00 pm Discussion followed by Q&ABack Bay Clubhouse
Artificial Intelligence is advancing, reflecting a growing tendency to delegate decision-making to algorithms. Big data, namely the availability of enormous volumes of data on all kinds of human activity, further enhances the effectiveness of algorithms. New technology can assist, but also threaten, the goals surrounding human rights. In the short-term, these dangers include perpetuating bias in algorithmic reasoning. In the longer term, concerns surround the ownership of data, the increasing power of technology companies, and changes in the nature of work. This C&PP explores the ways in which artificial intelligence will affect human life, and its emerging ethics and human rights-related questions.
Price per person: $15 (plus *Club charge & tax) includes reception fare and lecture. A cash bar will be available.

In addition to regularly adding new dishes to the Club’s menus, we continue to expand the list of local vendors and farms from which we source our ingredients.

Great Hill Blue Cheeses in Marion, MAMaplebrook Farms in Bennington, VTVermont Creamery in Websterville, VTOakhurst Dairy Farm in Portland, MEFarming Turtles in Exeter, RI
Wards Berry Farm in Sharon, MAJasper Hill Farms in Greensboro, VTFoley Fish Company in Boston, MABlue Hill Bay in Hancock, ME

We look forward to seeing you at the Club.
Chef Dean Moore
Congratulations to Martha Dietrich, our Sous Chef at the Downtown Clubhouse, for winning this year’s Battle of the Chefs.
Our culinary team had some outstanding entries, but Martha’s smoked sea bass carpaccio with a charred jalapeno, mango coulis, American caviar, plantain crisps and baby greens was the crowd favorite.
For September, we’re adding this winning appetizer to our Downtown Clubhouse menu for $18 (plus *Club charge & tax).
Available at the Downtown Clubhouse only.

Rimsky-Korsakov String Quartet
PUBLIC POLICY BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP
Friday, October 11, 20198:00 am—9:00 am Downtown ClubhouseThe Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis, is our October selection.What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works? “The election happened,” remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. “And then there was radio silence.” Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them. Michael Lewis gives us a look at a government under attack by its own leaders. Optional à la carte breakfast service will be available in The Crimson starting at 7:00 am. Members and guests are welcome.**Participation fee for non-members (must be registered as a guest by a member): $5, includes discussion and coffee. Registration for members is required for this complimentary event.Click here to register.
