...Harvard men’s lacrosse team fought a hard tug-of-war game against No. 14 Brown but came up on the losing end of an 8-7 Bears victory, despite a four-goal night by freshman attacker Dean Gibbons—a career high.“In the last three games, I’ve been really impressed with the amount of confidence [Gibbons has] been having. Every time he gets the ball he believes he’s going to score,” co-captain Nick La Fiura said.Under the lights in Providence, the Crimson...
Your excellent obituary of former Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles omitted one of Knowles’s signal contributions to the University: his integral role in the 1999 merger of Harvard and Radcliffe.

And even now that the College will have to rent the residential space that it once owned from...
...student group events to two per night and to require organizations to register parties three weeks in advance. It also suggests unifying the House registration system and increasing Harvard University Police Department coverage. “I want events to be better organized and safer,” Assistant Dean of the College Paul J. McLoughlin said. “Right now, students think a lot about their events, but we can provide more resources.” The proposed changes come from a joint subcommittee of the Committee on House Life (CHL) and the CCL. The subcommittee was created...
