Were it up to the students who attended last week’s Faculty Council meeting, however, this long-standing deadline would have a later date.

In Cambridge, your senior spring will be pleasant; while your thesising friends are taking advantage of their only hope of a golden parachute—Jack Daniels over bad drafts—you’ll be living...
