Many upperclassmen relish Registration. It is, after all, the one time they can enter Memorial Hall, receive a packet of papers from someone, and generally get all the answers to the questions...
...oversees all the graduate schools from his venerable Massachusetts Hall office, with the aid of four vice presidents. Except when dragged out by student activists like those concerned with South Africa, he keeps out of the headlines--emerging to release his president's report, which examines a different corner of the University each year (recent topics included the Business School, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and relations with the federal government...
Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, is the gray eminence of Mass Hall. Steiner's job is to command Harvard's array of lawyers in their skirmishes with the local community, the federal government, and occasionally each other--different branches of the University sometime become entangled with each other, abetted by Harvard's "each tub on its own bottom" policy, which dictates sufficient.

In the end Harvard fares pretty well, because she uses it only for background: dropping names of buildings and alumni, reminiscing about sneaking a feel in an Eliot House room or necking on the steps of Briggs Hall. The Harvard name may sell a lot of books...
