When we chose to matriculate at Harvard College, we chose to include ourselves in an elite, intellectually challenging academic community. Many of us had opportunities to attend other colleges, but for one reason or another we favored fair Harvard above the rest.

To list all the movie-related merchandise hitting stores, TIME would have to forgo coverage of the election, but if you're thinking of decorating with Grinch inflatable furniture or have a taste for Oreos with green filling, you're in luck. Still, nothing is on the market without first getting a nod from the widow...
