...stressing the new relevance of finance in administrative duties. “The whole portfolio has to be reshaped around that very prominent element,” Herschbach said. Herschbach began working at Harvard in 1981 as the Master of Currier House. Since then, she has served as Registrar of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and assistant dean and director of special programs, associate dean for administration and finance, and associate dean for academic programs at the College. Recently, Herschbach said she has been involved with creating the Program for Research in Science and Engineering, improving the freshman seminars...
...Adolf Hitler would not be possible," says Götz, referring to a case that recently made headlines in Germany about a boy from New Jersey named after the Nazi leader. The decision on which names to accept and which to reject is generally left to the local registrar, but that decision can be contested in court. And sometimes the court's ruling can seem rather arbitrary. While the names Stompie, Woodstock and Grammophon have been rejected by German courts in the past, the similarly creative parents of Speedy, Lafayette and Jazz were granted their name of choice.

He also really went for conciseness here, cutting out "Friday" when referencing "May 29th" (a whole week after finals are over! First agenda for the summer, eh?), and saying "I encourage you to complete all of your evaluations this term" instead of "I encourage you to complete evaluations for all of your courses this term"--saving you one word of reading...
Last week, Registrar Barry S. Kane announced that students who complete their Q evaluations online will be able to access their final grades immediately after the end of the examination period instead of having to wait the usual 10 days. The end-of-semester evaluations, which are mandatory for all but the smallest seminar courses, are an important part of both teaching and learning here at the College, and it is essential that students fill them out. Therefore, we applaud the Registrar for implementing this new system and hope that it is an efficient and effective means of incentivizing...
