...heading off to work on 28 different service projects, ranging from landscaping to preparing meals for the homeless. With participants from all nine of the University’s schools, and with $20,000 of funding, the inaugural Day of Service featured collaboration across the University and aimed to inform students of existing volunteer opportunities. Organizers said they hope to make it an annual event and eventually an international one involving alumni clubs around the world. During the breakfast, Faust took the opportunity to remind students of the obligations conferred upon them. At Harvard, “we have access...
According to the Harvard University Registrar’s Office, lotteries are currently the domain of individual professors, who have the freedom to inform their students of results at any time. To solve the problem of late lotteries, the College should mandate that all lotteries end by 5 p.m. on the Thursday before Study Card day, at least 24 hours before study cards are due.

Students will be even less equipped to approach works of authors such as Tsitsi Dangarembga, who writes in English, but whose national and cultural experiences are informed by situations far different from those...
