...minds, and Harvard has more than its share of both, as is befitting its three centuries of existence. Some of these a Freshman who is completely strange to Cambridge can pick up as he goes along--but it is a good idea to know who "Copey" is, what "Rheinhardt" signifies, and who "Barry Wood" was, to cite a few examples...
