John Paul told the clerics in the audience that he hoped the ceremony "will give you renewed zeal for your precious vocation."

...accumulate more money to "do things right by doing it all at once," according to North House Master J. Woodland Hastings. But in nine months, after the renovation of Barnard and Bertram Halls, Harvard will be out of money for North and Cabot Houses.
