There are more opportunities to have fun at Harvard than at many other colleges. On campus, student groups compete to draw crowds to their events each week. Between the bulletin boards around campus, the house-open lists, the Institute of Politics events lists, and the athletic-events calendar, students can find some interesting social activity almost every night of the week. Furthermore, the House system allows dorm room parties and social gatherings in ways that many other colleges do not. And, off campus, there are eight major universities, a lively bar, and music scene, as well as a city full...
...precious little time left until they are expected to turn in their culminating work for the semester, many others find themselves with three and sometimes four weeks until final assignments must be submitted. This University-endorsed procrastination is made possible by the most misleadingly named feature of the Harvard calendar, the so-called “reading period.” This two-week period, arguably one of the greatest selling points of Harvard’s bizarre schedule, is often touted as a beacon of hope for the slacking masses—a chance to catch...

This is not paranoia: the average major teaching hospital typically sees a 4% jump in its risk-adjusted mortality rate in the summer, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. But there is a larger issue that doctors argue about: which matters more, information or experience?

While the formula suceeds by tugging a few heart strings, the humor doesn’t live up to its British roots...
...Haan, Harvard is a “huge, decentralized university, and you need to work through extensive bureaucracy to get anything done.” Currently, the Harvard Concert Commission and the CLC are on a bureaucratic timetable set by funding restrictions, UC election dates, and the academic calendar. By creating a social programming entity outside of the UC, the UC has freed the social programming board of these constraints. The new social programming board will be able to organize during the summer, over breaks, and on a schedule of annual funding as opposed to being allotted a certain amount...
