...about them. He disciplined himself to work within the sometimes strait-jacketing rules of his department. And there was no doubt a layer of reserve to be penetrated before easy conversation with him was possible. He did not have a personality that flourished at sherry parties or doughnut-and-cider klatches. Socially, he was in Harvard, but not of it. Once his shyness was breached, however, no one holding a Harvard appointment could have been more helpful, and self-effacingly so. In the last week I worked on my thesis with him, for example, he rearranged his schedule so that...
...parties are untouched by the rules, and in at least one House, the happy hours are being served there. And post-football game celebrations, invariably sanctioned by masters, draw crowds to huge House celebrations: Dunster's "zorbels" (otherwise known as a punch powerful enough to flatten Ali), a hot cider and rum at Winthrop and a BYOB bask at Mather.

You can take your pick from hot chocolate, cinnamon or plain coffee, mocha, tea, assorted sodas, cookies, or the best hot apple cider in town. Everything is free, but the place runs on donations, so leave something in the basket on the way out. Of course, if you're in the mood for a little good, healthy manual labor, co-manager Elizabeth Cold says they can always use more volunteers to serve drinks...
