Dunster House residents were surprised, if not a little taken aback, when they received an e-mail over the house list last weekend soliciting nude photographs of “all hot Harvard girls.” If the e-mail had not come from a FAS student account, it probably would have been filtered into e-mail spam folders with the likes of Viagra advertisements and congratulatory e-mails from fake lottery organizations...
...source of the email was Dunster House resident Matthew M. Di Pasquale ’08, the creator of Diamond—Harvard’s newest magazine.

By the standards of her bourgeois upbringing, Beauvoir did live an unorthodox life. She earned a living with her mind, having aced France’s most hallowed philosophy exam to come second only to Jean-Paul Sartre, with whom she founded the existentialist school of thought. The two became...
