...trash from student rooms at the beginning of the academic year” and “the amount of pillows that we found in closets, shoved under beds, and just clearly not used,” at the end of the academic year. Gingo stated that it simply appeared as if dorm-dwellers were either finding the Harvard-issue pillows to be less comfortable than their own or were put off by the prospect of propping their pates on pillows carried over from previous years.
