...serves a dual purpose, both covering the unwashed hair and declaring allegiance to a team he’s not really familiar with beyond Nomar Garciaparra. His Gap-jeans-and-sneakers ensemble sometimes veers dangerously into Jerry Seinfeld territory, but the North Face backpack he tows to the Lamont Reading Room every afternoon screams student. The pride and joy of his wardrobe is a Keezer’s suit—replete with sleeves just a tiny bit too short—purchased last week in preparation for upcoming recruiting interviews...
...example, without a persuasive justification, HCL plans to move the reading room on the ground floor of Lamont up two flights—to the fifth floor—and replace it with a media center and a music library imported from the Quad. Given that the recently-renovated reading room is constantly in use and is deeply appreciated by students, the $1 million price tag of the project is not only incredibly steep but also represents an immense waste of resources. The grant awarded for the project is not specifically earmarked for this move and could be used more...

Gov Docs is a depository of public records and government publications and therefore must be accessible to individuals without a Harvard affiliation. But its longtime Lamont location satisfactorily allowed access to the public and to undergraduates—like those concentrating in history, government and economics—who heavily rely on it. The basement of Lamont stores the facility quite comfortably; HCL’s plan to move Gov Docs to Littauer Library and other libraries...
Instead of rearranging Lamont, HCL should focus on extending the hours that Lamont and other libraries are open. According to the Undergraduate Council’s recent estimate, it would only cost around $15,000 per year to keep Lamont open an extra hour on the four high traffic days each week—Sunday through Wednesday. Rather than pursuing seemingly unnecessary projects like moving Gov Docs, HCL should be working to create an efficient Hilles Library with usable study space, a full collection and few staff layoffs. Rather than shelling out funds to buff Widener’s marble...
Harvard’s tally does carry one asterisk—Amartya K. Sen held an emeritus title when he won his Nobel Prize in 1998, but had already left the University to become Master of Trinity College in Cambridge, England. Sen returned to Harvard this year as Lamont University professor...
