...coming up with a very thorough report. While financial aid for summer study abroad is an excellent idea, we also encourage the CEA to look into ways that Harvard can improve its international resources—whether property or academic partnerships—and increase the academic rigor of study abroad programs.

Lokers resurrection has the potential to breathe life into a stratified Harvard social scene gripped by 300-year-long rigor mortis. The Harvard College Deans Office, Harvard Student Agencies, the Undergraduate Council, and Veritas Records, which cooperated to put on the two Pub Nights so far, deserve all the thanks they have received...
