...schedule of Junior Parents Weekend seems to closely mirror parts of student life here at Harvard. There are lectures in the morning, stimulating academic events—like tours of art museums and panel discussions—in the afternoon, and a plenty of time at night for homework and anything else the nocturnal Harvard student can dream up.
