...first-year residents of Weld Room 11 felt they could work well together from their first day at Harvard. Edward S.Baker, Scott G.Farber, Jacob E. Fleming, Arthur E.Koski-Karell, Matthew S. O'Hare and Joshua J. Wilske even converted one room of their suite into a casino in lieu of living in singles...
