...microscope, he mocked superpower military swagger, singing "Come on, come on, Holy Roman Empire/ C'mon, if you think you can take us all." The ensuing laughter was more nervous than knowing. There was also a bit of a slump at the end of the elegiac "How to Disappear Completely," when the audience stood in near silence for a couple of minutes before realizing that the set was over. Eventually, though, the crowd came around to what had just happened and brought the band back for two rousing encores, including a foot-stomping version of "Everything in It's Right...

They are also, of all the elements of my Harvard experience, probably the least in need of memorializing, because they are the least likely to disappear. What we should really be commemorating this week is the parts of this institution that the Facebook cannot preserve—the parts that, much worse, even Harvard itself might not keep...
