Harvards international student community represents a big world reduced to only 650 students. Each brings a distinctive flavor to this College, and the Woodbridge Society could bring them together in a savory stew. The current state of the Society, however, squanders this potential.

...survey found just 12 of them left in the state. The owl, which weighs 2.5 oz. and nests in cavities in saguaro cacti, had established a small population in prime development land northwest of Tucson. After the bird's listing, house building in the area came to a halt...
