After all, in the space of just one four-year class cycle, the council's foremost accomplishment has come and gone. The freshman class eating in the Union today will probably never realize what the council had once done for their kind. They may never know the joy that chocolate milk once brought the students of Harvard, or the faith that we once had in our student representatives in the Undergraduate Council to fight for our right to choose between white and brown milk with our meals.

"Marilyn and our children, Tucker, Benjamin and Corinne, are my strength, my pride, my joy, my love.
