Little, however, is said about another method of transportation that is quite foreign to many Harvard students: walking. Pronounced “ooh-al-king” or “vhal-keeng,” depending on where...

They noted that while the two requirements increased slightly, both were roughly in line with inflation over the past two years. Yesterday’s move could allow some low-income students with large scholarships to completely pay their tuition obligations without taking term-time or summer jobs...
