...Sally C. Donahue said she could not name Harvard’s average financial aid package for this year, she said that the University will spend $103 million in financial aid for undergraduates. Baum said a variety of factors contributed to Harvard’s ability to meet its students?? aid needs. “One, Harvard is rich. Two, most of its students are not poor. It’s not easy for other schools to follow the example set by Harvard because they don’t have the money, and they have more low-income...

All told, it is expected that the new showerheads will save close to 2.5 million gallons of water and $40,000 per year, which is clearly a boon to the environment and a step in the right direction. Students?? comments on the new showers, however, have been mixed: a Mather resident mysteriously found that the low flow showerhead improved water pressure, but students from other Houses and freshman dorms have complained that their water pressure has decreased and that it now takes longer to wash.

This program may not be the most pure solution to underperformance on standardized tests, but it is a pragmatic one. Every year, an enormous amount of government money is pumped into an educational...
...this facility is that it’s a throw-back gymnasium, similar to the gymnasium at Hemenway,” Gibson said. “What we’ve tried to do is make it look how it looked before.” The design also acknowledges students?? desire for a social gathering place: the entry area will be transformed into a lounge with carpeting and furniture. The construction project is the second phase of a major renovation of the MAC, the University’s main recreational facility built in 1930. The first phase...
