...result of a new city ordinance which was timed badly for Harvard. The mandatory installation of more than 2200 smoke detectors in dormitory hallways at an estimated cost of $1 million started just as the dust from construction was beginning to settle--literally. Officials could only identify a small fraction of the roughly 55 dormitory alarms per month as construction-related, attributable to dust or vibrations...
Watsonville High School has about 3000 students. Only a tiny percentage of the student body ever ends up graduating, and only a fraction of these individuals ever make it to college. Attending an Ivy League college is practically unheard...
