HBS students ought to stop taking themselves so seriouslyWith April comes the annual joke issue of the Harbus. We hope you enjoyed its comedic exterior and that it lured you deeper into the issue to read the more usual, serious content therein. Somewhere in there is a metaphor for the way teaching should work with the case method. Editing the joke issue of the Harbus was a very self-reflective exercise and challenged us to ask a lot of meta questions about the way HBS is experience from near and afar. For example, what are the essential elements of the HBS experience that are worth parodying? What uncomfortable MBA anxieties can we best explore through comedy? Where will our peers draw the line for good comedic taste?
