Many Harvard students owe much of their sanity and their academic careers to the existence of a 24-hour library during the school week. Nearly three years since Harvard College Library (HCL) first approved a 24/5 Lamont, students continue to use the library for quiet study space on school nights, when exams and paper deadlines beckon. It is now time to extend that promise to Friday and Saturday nights. The onset of reading period erodes the distinction between weekdays and weekends.

...students with popular last names such as “Chen” or “Smith” will often have numbers attached to their addresses. FAS runs on an older UNIX-based legacy system, which not only encompasses e-mail accounts, but also Webspace and storage space for files. Kroll said that Harvard’s e-mail system dates from the 1980s, which currently confines usernames to the technological restrictions from two decades ago. Usernames are limited to eight characters and can contain only letters and numbers. Certain departments, such as mathematics or astronomy and astrophysics...
