Had I, I wondered, somehow failed to obtain what Harvard’s Core Curriculum calls “the knowledge, intellectual skills, and habits of thought” of an “educated” person?It is an odd moment to worry about such things. The educational requirements that I and my fellow seniors fulfilled are now being phased...
...caught breaking the law, they will not bring you back to your room to help destroy the evidence and smooth things out with the Ad Board. (Thanks, Officer Thompson. You were right: it was mostly placenta anyway.)Still, it’s been a wild ride. Enriched by the core, we can now answer questions like, “Are numbers magical?

...along the way. First was the 22-point comeback against Princeton. Then there was the fact that the squad of just ten girls—often left with no subs for practice—had to deal with Finelli’s season-ending injury.But Harvard, led by its core of four seniors, continued to win.In a 91-57 demolition of Yale, co-captain Emily Tay put on a show, scoring a career-high 34 points in her final game at Lavietes. Tay, who earned her third consecutive first-team All-Ivy honors, finished her career second on Harvard?...
