Next door was her opposite, Phil K. Lichtenstein ’72, a studious junior from a backwoods high school. He wanted to work with rural folks in the future, either as a forest ranger or a doctor. Everyone knew Phil: he held spots on Quincy’s Social Committee and HoCo and a job at the dining hall desk, checking everyone in. But he was still shy and awkward around girls...

The Cambridge Licensing Commission recently agreed to extend party hours for Harvard students to 2:00 a.m., in large part thanks to Corker’s lobbying efforts on students’ behalf.

Yale has 17 days away from New Haven, four more days of holiday merriment then their studious Cantabrigian counterparts. Sure, four may not seem like much, but bear in mind, it’s about a third of our vacation. Columbia, Dartmouth, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Brown and Princeton all surpass the 20-day milestone, awarding their students much-needed rest after the fall term...
