...council--the two graduates currently live together, self-proclaimingly "deeply in love," in Cambridge. While Hyman counts Rawlins as the "number one benefit of being president," the two also worked closely together during their terms to revitalize the workings of the student government and, student life at Harvard. Hyman served three terms as president; in 1995 he was the first president elected by popular election of the entire undergraduate student body. Before then, the election of president was, as Hyman puts it, "an incestuous smoke-filled process" where the council members elected one of their own as chair...
...discussion of House randomization. "We had some incredibly interesting debates between students and faculty about the House randomization," Subramanian recalls. "I'm glad to see how it's worked out today for the better." After graduating, Subramanian went straight to graduate school in Cambridge, getting his JD-MBA at Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School.

"Wherever you go from a place like Harvard, you are going to work very hard because you are going to be among the best--even if you don't travel, you are going to work very long hours," Tom says. I get the sense, as I do many times throughout my time with the PRTM team, that...
...problem I have found at Harvard is that, unlike Sherri, Harvard students focus on the what instead of the who. Not only are we eager to know if someone plays lacrosse, acts in the Ex or is a Fox man, we thrive on knowing. Knowing if someone sports a Crimson Key T-shirt or sings with the sexiness of an Opportune, we can easily group them into superficial categories of cool or uncool. Are they worthy of a nod, a quick hello or an invite to the next HPC cocktail party? The coolness factor is everywhere, and I am guilty...
