FORGET the world at large. College students don't ask much of April--just that it be extraordinary, featuring a blossoming social life, spectacular weather and a relatively light course load. But as always, April crumps on its end of the deal. The month is just unfair--a reality we're not quite prepared to swallow--because the April we'd like to be living is the one we dreamed of in January...
...excellent day for all of the lightweight crews, as Harvard posted three of the four fastest times of the day and swept all five races. The Crimson JV won its race in 6:38.6, and the freshman light weight squad was victorious in 6:47.8, a time fast enough to beat the Cornell varsity crew...

Chung is a performer of great interpretative range and insight who can light up the night with a blazing Tchaikovsky concerto, probe the intimate, sorrowing mysteries of Alban Berg's twelve-tone essay in the form, or tackle Sir Edward Elgar's king-and-country Violin Concerto with equal aplomb. She also plays in a chamber trio with her sister Myung...
