January 20, 1910: Original College Wall Discovered

In the southeastward course of the excavations for the Cambridge subway, the southwest corner of the original "Harvard College," built in 1638, has been unearthed. On December 8, 1909, about 40 feet of the wall of Edward Goffe\'s House, which stood on an adjoining lot, was discovered a little to the west of Wadsworth House, running parallel with the street. The piece just discovered is about 40 yards below Wadsworth House.

The corner is almost directly opposite the entrance to Holyoke House, and is in a perfect state of preservation. It is constructed of field stones. The wall running to the east appears to extend under the sidewalk around the "College Yard." The upper courses of both walls leading from the corner were removed years ago when the water mains were installed along Massachusetts avenue.

January 26, 1942: Yale Grad Taken For Nazi Agent Photoing Widener

Proof of Harvard\'s alertness in matters of defense was afforded Saturday by the apprehension of a suspicious-looking character in the act of taking a picture of Widener with a foreign camera. Accused of being a Nazi agent, the culprit was taken into custody by the Yard Cops.

Further quizzing by Arthur Wild \'26, head of the University News Office, exonerated the captive of foreign connections, however. He turned out to be a harmless Yale grad seeing the sights.', [])

In 2013, you will probably have a lot of questions about love. These should be five of them:

1. If Ivy Leaguers are refuting The End of Courtship, are they endorsing The End of Empircal Reasoning?

2. Which came first: The End of Courtship, or The End of Men?

3. Was The End of Men before The End of Sex?

4. Would you rather The End of Sex With Men before Courtship, or The End of Courtship with Men before Sex?

5. Is it a coincidence that, as we are battered with The Ends of Everything Sexy, we can turn manically and trustingly to The Beginning of Second Season of "Girls"?

While the film industry is gearing up for the announcement of the winners of the 85th annual Academy Awards next month, Harvard professors are showcasing short films of their own as shopping week fast approaches.

Administrators in the General Education program began encouraging professors to make videos advertising their Ged Ed classes following the creation of a popular course trailer in 2008. And since then, the trend has caught on. This semester, 11 videos publicizing courses ranging from Culture and Belief 43: "The World of Yiddish" to Ethical Reasoning 32: "Security" are up and running on Vimeo, ready for your perusal.

January 15, 1892: Harvard-Yale Debate.

The Harvard-Yale debate, on the subject "That a young man casting his first ballot in 1892 should vote for the nominees of the Democratic party," was held last night in Sanders theatre, before a very large and appreciative audience. Governor William E. Russell presided and introduced the speakers in turn. Each speaker spoke for fifteen minutes.

The debate was opened by R. D. Upton of Yale, who spoke on "The party of progress and modern ideas." Many things have been urged against the Democratic party, but it is essentially a party of reform, nominating Grover Cleveland, who become the head and consolidated that party, and won for it a glorious record. The Republican party, while it possessed great sentiments had also great unity, but when it lost them, it became broken. While the Republican party has became a party of selfish expedients, the Democratic party protects individual freedom. The Democratic party of today is a champion of peace, purity and reform. It stands for freedom and progression—a party which is, and not one which has been.', [])

Days after internet activist Aaron Swartz\'s Jan. 11 suicide, The Huffington Post\xa0reports that during the 1990s, Swartz\'s prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Heymann—who was, even then, a pioneer in policing the internet—tried to get Harvard\'s cooperation in monitoring the University\'s network usage without a court order. Heymann proposed that the University put an "electronic banner on its intranet telling users they were being monitored" and implying their consent. Harvard refused, HuffPo reports, citing "the privacy of its users."', [])

January 6, 1923: Picking the Lock

A recent correspondent of the Alumni Bulletin makes the rather startling suggestion that Harvard be represented next fall by two Varsity, football teams instead of one, and that while one plays Yale at New Haven the other play Yale (who is also to have two teams of course) in Cambridge, the winner being the college which amasses the largest combined score. In this way all ticket-difficulties would be abolished, and the proportion of players to spectators would be increased.

January 8, 1934: Hitler Refuses Favor to Harvard Students Group

Chancellor Adolph Hitler has refused to authorize the use of his name to a group of his disciples at Harvard, it was revealed yesterday. About three weeks ago a group of students who have grown to admire the Nazi leader decided to establish a club for the purpose of studying the dictator\'s policies. A letter was sent to the Chancellor asking for permission to use the name "Hitler Haven."

Charles E. Schwer \'37, leader of the group, received a letter yesterday from Baron von Tippelskirch, German Consul General in Boston, saying that Chancellor Hitler had asked him to inform the students that it was against his policy to authorize the use of his name for organizations of any kind.', [])

January 3, 1924: Physical Records Show Improvement

About 2,000 physical examinations were conducted by Dr. Roger I. Lee \'02, Professor of Hygiene, and his assistants during the past year, and on the whole, the reports show a satisfactory undergraduate health record. Of these, of course, many were reexaminations, but those of the 903 incoming freshmen present some striking features.

Every December, past and present Harvard affiliates come together\xa0at gatherings and parties\xa0across the country to make merry and recognize their holiday traditions. For one group of alumni in Atlanta, Ga., this means a Kwanzaa celebration.

On Thursday evening,\xa0the Harvard Club of Georgia and the Harvard Black Alumni Society hosted the Kwanzaa Party, an annual alumni event that organizers say is unique to Atlanta.

"Kwanzaa is about making everyone here part of the Harvard family," said Avarita L. Hanson \'75, who opened up her home for the event. Hanson said that she sees Kwanzaa as an opportunity to celebrate ancestors and the past, to give thanks, and to enjoy food and fellowship.', [])
