In March, Republicans lost the once-safe Illinois seat held by former Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert, followed by a Louisiana loss in another long-held seat this month.

Kroll said that Harvard’s e-mail system dates from the 1980s, which currently confines usernames to the technological restrictions from two decades ago. Usernames are limited to eight characters and can contain only letters and numbers. Certain departments, such as mathematics or astronomy and astrophysics, give their faculty and staff departmental e-mails in addition to their FAS addresses, which allows for more username flexibility.Both MIT and Caltech allow students to create their own e-mail aliases, but Kroll said Harvard...
