...commend The Harvard Crimson for its coverage of the historic stamp issuance ceremony we held to honor Harvard Law School graduate and civil rights legend Charles Hamilton Houston, Jr., here in Cambridge, Saturday, February 21, 2009. While the Crimson’s article accurately conveyed the content and spirit of the event, it overlooked the exceptionally important work of my friend and colleague, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who served on the United States Postal Service Committee responsible for selecting individuals to be honored by the issuance of stamps.

Everyone knows that most upperclass Houses show about as much spirit as the average Harvard cheerleader (that is, aside from the strange creatures that run Mather and Currier HoCo). Ever since the College instituted randomization and Houses lost all semblances of unity and character, cheering on a regular basis for your randomly selected, heterogeneous sample of the Harvard population has been less than appealing.

Overall rating: Subprime. * There’s only so much that the devoted House Masters, friendly staff, and scarily committed amateur athletes can do to make up for the miniscule bedrooms, scanty house spirit, and (literally) crappy dining hall. Just know that you can eat your tears away on Housing Day when Winthrop lures you to the river with food and beverage. "But really?!" you exclaim. "Worse than Dunster?!! Did any other house actually get a 'subprime”'rating??...BUT WE HAVE RIVER VIEWS...
