He also has the privilege of occupying the suite in the Old Court, in which (reportedly) John Harvard lived. The Harvard rooms at Emmanuel have become a center of student get-togethers. The Harvard Scholar, in addition, becomes an honorary member of Emmanuel organizations, like the Mildmay Essay Club.
