...wonder really. The Harvard finals system is a mental siege, not a straight-up, honorable open-field battle. At almost ever other institution in the country, students withstand a honorable frontal assault, their #2 pencils glinting in the sunlight and failing with glory as the finals process lets them have it straight away.
