One can sadly only guess at what the Harvard student body’s brainpower could do given freedom in the winter wonderlands Cambridge skies cook up for them. Snow forts with n+1 housing? Intramural snowball fights at an A, B, and C level? All of these questions go unanswered when the Severs and Biolabs and Barker Centers of the campus remain open...
