...long-term relationship with another university. These aren’t just weekend flings—it’s about trust, trust that helps to establish a network of universities for Harvard to deal with. And for the record: We’re mighty popular.Discovering the Exchange Rate??Exchange programs are typically an arrangement between two universities to exchange undergraduates,” associate director of the Office of International Programs (OIP) Leslie M. Hill says. “The exchanges have been set up for inter-institutional relations,” explains Cathy H. Winnie, director...
...Researchers sorted the seniors into three broad categories based on the frequency of their church attendance. The subjects were also monitored for lung health based on their performance in a series of breathing tests over a period of approximately five years. The study used the peak expiratory flow rate??the amount of air a person exhales in one minute—as the benchmark for assessing lung health. This rate normally declines with age, though the study shows that avid churchgoers experience about half the rate of decline as those who did not attend church. Lead author...
...students who aren’t signed up for a long-term plan. Customers can have their laundry picked up from their dorm room and returned within two business days.

Virginia’s yield is 53 percent, while Princeton’s is over 69 percent, and Harvard’s is 80 percent...
...billion endowment still pales in comparison to Harvard’s $29.2 billion treasure chest. And both universities easily outpaced the S&P 500 stock index, which increased by 8.6 percent during the 2006 fiscal year. But Yale’s remarkable 22.9 percent return rate??and Harvard’s comparatively-modest 16.7 percent mark—suggest that Yale’s “external management” approach to its endowment is paying dividends...
