So if you were wondering over buffalo wings when Harvard last won first place in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition, the pub can tell you—in plaque form (it was in 2005). And if you are curious about at what hours women could visit the River Houses seven decades ago, parietal rules are on the wall—but thankfully not in force.
