January’s freakishly warm spell has, it seems, worked its way into Harvard’s buildings this reading period. Looking around Lamont last night I was struck by the thought that Harvard students are hot—too hot. Crammed at our desks like slaves, elbow to elbow, fingers tapping in synchrony, the sheer volume of body heat rising off our backs filled the atmosphere. As we wade stoically through finals this week, everyone is beginning to feel the heat. Unfortunately, Lamont is ill-equipped to take the pressure. Even on a good day it fills...
...possibility further while having lunch with a few friends recently, ladies of course. One girl was relating how she had wickedly terrorized a lad on instant messenger the night before. That was only after we had figured out just exactly what her crush’s aloof demeanor in Lamont the other day really mean.

While most students in Lamont yesterday prepared for exams and papers that they must complete to make it to next semester, 76 Harvard seniors and their friends and families assembled yesterday in the library’s forum room to celebrate the commencement of life outside the gates at the Mid-Year Graduates Recognition Ceremony.

They often get A’s too, but as Mr. Carswell points out, this takes too long. There are other ways.His third suggestion, the Overpowering Assumption...
Thankfully, the only thing different about this January is that students will be camping out in Lamont instead of Cabot. With the 24-hour overhaul of Lamont Library, students have enjoyed nearly a semester of opportunities to pull all-nighters. But, as the myriad students sure to be doing just that over the next week or so will prove, they haven’t really been taking full advantage. In the midst of all this academic agony, we’re grateful that one thing hasn’t yet changed: our calendar. While the Harvard College Curricular Review...
