...replace the shuttles with giant, multi-person bicycles, which must be pedaled by the students. Further cuts have required us to shorten the route of late night service during the weekend, and shuttles will now pick up students from a deserted alley near Cambridge Common. Due to budget cuts, the lighting in this area has been eliminated. We want to stress, though, that these cuts have freed up additional funding for brain break, and we have arranged for special brain breaks for the entryway of any students who are mugged...

Since improvements like this, and the amenities of Harvard life, do not come cheaply, we ask for your kind, tax-deductible donation...
...being one-on-one by the time you are a senior—tutorials in larger concentrations take more of a lecture-and-section format. You won’t find much in the way of small seminars in government or economics (especially with Harvard’s budget cutting...
