February 28, 1928: New Memorial Chapel to Rise in Honor of Harvard\'s War Heroes

That the proposed University war memorial will definitely take the form of a new chapel to be erected in the Yard on the site of the present Appleton Chapel was made known officially last night. The announcement comes as a result of the passing of a resolution by the President and Fellows of Harvard College yesterday morning. The resolve was then submitted by the Corporation to the Board of Overseers at their meeting yesterday afternoon. It was voted upon, accepted, and placed on file. A committee will be designated to draw up plans and make the necessary investigations.

The adoption of the resolution to build a war memorial chapel culminates a movement for a University memorial which began early in the World War, as soon as the deaths of Harvard men were reported. It will require the demolition of the present chapel, but inside the new memorial there will be a small chapel which will be called Appleton Chapel.

One culinary question you'll never hear debated is where in the United States to go for a bagel. The supremacy of the New York bagel is a closed case—an accepted tenet of foodie-ism that is about as up for discussion as Avogadro's number.

After I decided to come to Harvard, my mom bought me an enormous winter coat. But I was less concerned about Cambridge winters than I was about the prospect of being out of reach of a decent bagel. I went my entire first semester at college without attempting to fill the void. But positive experiences with Cambridge sushi and Cambridge pizza gave me a ray of hope. This week, Connie and I attempted to do the impossible: find a bagel worth eating within walking distance of Harvard Yard.", [])

WHAT IT IS

According to the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), Vassar College gives new meaning to the term "liberal" arts. The religious organization (frequently referred to as a hate group) has dubbed the private college in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. an "Ivy League Whorehouse" and is set to protest there tomorrow (February 28). An announcement on the WBC\'s website, tactfully entitled "godhatesfags.com," proclaims that the group will protest the school for being "champions of whoredom" and having partaken in a "fag agenda."

Harlem Shake: if you\'ve seen one, you\'ve basically seen them all.

Well, not quite.

Over the past few weeks, the Harlem Shake has been making its way around the Harvard community. But the current viral videos stem from an original Harlem Shake, choreographed by a dancer named Al B. It was first known by that dancer\'s name—"the\xa0Albee"—before being christened the "Harlem Shake."

We checked in with some of Harvard\'s experts to learn more about the original Harlem Shake.', [])

The phrase "Kremlin on the Charles" may not be as outdated as you think.

According to Republican Senator Ted Cruz from Texas, Harvard Law School was more Red than Crimson as recently as 1995, when he graduated.

A spokeswoman for Cruz said that the Senator still stands behind comments he made in at a political rally on July 4, 2010, in which he accused the Harvard Law School faculty of having a stark communist bent. (These comments were recently brought to the fore by New Yorker writer Jane Mayer in the wake of what she called Senator Cruz\'s "prosecutorial style" of questioning Chuck Hagel, President Obama\'s nominee for Secretary of Defense.)', [])

When you got into Harvard, you probably thought that you had escaped rejection forever. Not so fast. You may be among the best and the brightest—but so is everyone else. Everyone wants to apply to everything, and so rejection from student organizations—whether it\'s an a Capella group or the Asian-American Brotherhood—seems inevitable. After all, they can\'t take everyone.

This phenomenon of rejection seems to be even more prevalent this year. With applications to the College at a record high, more high school seniors will face rejection from Harvard this year than ever before.

On campus, while the number of new members accepted by student groups has remained relatively constant, the number of applicants, auditionees, and compers has shot up.', [])

February 18, 1913: Remedies for Social Evils

That the social evil in American cities is the fault of men and not of women was the conclusion reached by Dean Walter Taylor Sumner of the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, Chicago, in his lecture on "Efficient Citizenship" at the Union last evening.

He first proved the futility of remedying the social evil by segregation, which, he says does not stop the white slave traffic. A social evil law to better the situation is hopeless, for it is unconstitutional. He summed up the fallacies of our present ignorant system as follows: "We turn the entire problem over to police, giving them three distinct powers which they abuse. They are allowed to make pseudo-laws to regulate vice; they are then expected to enforce these laws and punish offenders."

"I\'m too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet).

Last weekend saw the Harvard men's basketball team sweep the killer P's, Penn and Princeton, at home at Lavietes Pavilion in one of the most important weekends of their year.

The Crimson, now 7-1 in the Ivy League, sits alone at the top of conference standings with just under half the season left to play. Princeton, a game and a half behind, holds an Ancient Eight record of 5-2, having dropped Saturday's game to Harvard a week after their 21-game league win streak at Jadwin Gymnasium was broken by Yale.

So what's next in the world of Ivy hoops? Flyby's resident Crimson sports expert is here to give you what you need to know about our team going forward.

On Feb. 6, the Committee on Undergraduate Education discussed a proposal to change the structure of reading and exam periods. Under the proposal, assignments such as final projects and papers would no longer be due during reading period, and instead on specified dates during exam period.

As Harvard examines how this would change the last weeks of each semester, Flyby took a look around to see how some other schools handle it.
