...strings attached,” to pursue graduate studies in engineering and the applied sciences. Timothy L. Kovachy ’09, and Jeff Thompson, a Harvard graduate student in physics, faced even higher odds than applicants in previous year—the number of fellowships granted this year by the Hertz Foundation was reduced by 50 percent. The winners were selected from 543 other scientists, a pool comparable in size to those of previous years. “The process for earning the fellowship is quite rigorous,” Kovachy said. “You are expected...
...began using the small stripe on their IDs for dining halls, swipers have had backup cards on hand to let in those who forgot/lost/never had an ID. But now, these poor souls will starve.

To date, there has been little clinically-backed research in this field, for the simple reason that music therapy exists outside of any single discipline. The research into the effects...
...question exam was administered by the Mathematical Association of America in the first week of December. A total of 3,627 students from 545 colleges in the United States and Canada participated. The premier undergraduate mathematics competition covers fields such as group theory, set theory, graph theory, and number theory. Results were released by the Harvard mathematics department on Monday, and one Harvard participant attributed his victory partly to serendipity. “I’m very happy to help the team,” Boreico said. “I almost forgot to register for the Putnam. Luckily...
Oldfield said that students need to be more “in the know” about University finances. He stressed that Harvard’s non-profit status—and tax breaks—result from the large number of jobs the University provides for the community...
