...calendar reform in the very near future and that seemed a very welcome thing.” Tom D. Hadfield ’08, a former candidate for the UC presidency and also a Crimson editor, asked Harvard’s president-elect about the feasibility of free tuition for low-income students and reforming the legacy admissions system.“Now, I thought I was going to be asking you questions,” said a half-joking Faust, who subsequently added, “I will withhold my comments on those questions at this time...

Harvard can and should do Princeton one better, by holding the line on both tuition and fees...
