...only one who has glanced at our academic calendar this year? Please, take a moment to log on the Registrar’s Office website and behold the reprehensible truncation of what used to be our winter vacation. Or just keep reading and I’ll tell you about it. Last year we had our last classes of fall term on Dec. 16 and were released to the world, returning to fair Harvard on Jan. 4.

The dogs can run up to 5,000 km in a season, often through snow crystals at -25?C. "There is a strong feeling of being dependent on the small...
