Media outlets and peers expected me to say something insightful at University President Drew G. Faust’s inauguration, asking for my opinion as only the eighth woman to lead The Crimson in 134 years. I shrugged, because the feminist cause was not really speaking to me at the time. My biggest “woman’s issue” at Harvard was the recent removal of the free tampon dispensers from the Lamont Library bathroom...
...rest of the semester, however, was not as productive. Having faced several meetings in recent years—including November’s infamous debate—in which the Faculty failed to meet quorum, the Faculty put a proposal to lower quorum from one-sixth to one-eighth on the agenda for the next meeting.

Halpern made her first collegiate start in Harvard’s season opener against Holy Cross and contributed four goals and one assist...
...most exciting team to watch, and several of us were woefully unprepared for a final exam set in two days.A few hours into the night, as refrains of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” coursed through the red-clad crowd in the eighth inning, I glanced up and noticed a zero on the scoreboard. Boston starting pitcher Jon Lester was working on a no-hitter, and I knew what was to come—the Sox would not let me leave town without one last shot to the gut. As my camera?...
