Unfortunately, this usually means that come vacation time, the surprise that awaits us at home is not freshly baked cookies but stern lectures...
...been put into effect, students can go to www.termbill.harvard.edu, enter their Harvard ID number and PIN, and voila! end their ignorance of their fiscal plights. In fact, such easy access to termbill information may well encourage us to be more responsible about those accumulating costs. We might even remember those Widener books hiding under our beds before three months have gone...
