...should blame Richard Henry Dana. In 1840, this Harvard student’s Two Years Before the Mast transformed his nightmarish apprenticeship aboard a sailing vessel into an equally nightmarish—but bestselling—memoir. He was a trailblazer of the productive-unproductive summer. The consummate Harvardian, he glimpsed the potential in his seemingly wasted time on ship, taking his diary and converting it to a popular narrative and plea for better shipboard conditions. After this shining example of literary advocacy, experiential learning, and cross-cultural exchange, you couldn’t just run off to sea anymore...
...suites from which to choose. Such changes to the layout will not only increase student privacy, but will also be beneficial in terms of improving handicap accessibility—something that the current River houses, which lack elevators, struggle to accommodate.

He engages in his favorite activities—reading, politics, and music, in that order—as well as some other...
...students guilty of rubbing too closely up against one of the infected (or of just living in their dorm) were recommended to do the same. Much like God punished the Egyptians with locusts, the promiscuous students among us shall be met with the blight of scabies. Soon enough, every Harvardian with an irregular patch of skin lined up at UHS, waiting to be examined by the University’s most reputable physicians. Unfortunately, a diagnosis of scabies is traumatic enough without the social stigma. The inevitable questions from roommates (“You hooked up with a freshman...
