Iconic pictures of her are still worth a tidy sum for those photographers lucky enough to have taken them, whether they?...

...seemed to be unsure of what to expect at today’s initiation. “My brother was PBK—there’s a poet who reads a poem, and there’s some sort of speech that somebody gives,” said Simon N. Nicholas ’07, who among other things, has been an active member of Harvard’s choral music community and will be employed by Teach for America next year. “All I know is that we wear a cap and gown...
