...Senior Gift leaders said that one of the program's purposes is not just to raise money but also to accustom seniors (many who will be earning high sums in the future) to write checks to Harvard.

By that rationale, Pokemon probably placed 6th in the Best Picture race.) So they nominate The Cider...
