June 18, 1914: Class of 1864 Holds Reunion

The 50th anniversary of their graduation has brought back to the reunion in Phillips Brooks House today nearly all of the 36 living members of the Class of 1864.

There were 99 men in \'64 who completed their four years and 44 who were associated with the class for a part of that time. The large number of men who did not graduate is accounted for by the fact that many of them went to war. Forty-one members of the class, either graduate or associate, took part in the Rebellion—35 in the Union Army and six in the Confederate Army. Of the 99 graduates, almost every one took a further degree than the A.B., and more than a third studied medicine or law.

It's 1:30 in the morning, and you're hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square's late-night stops run deep. Over an 11 day period, The Crimson will debate 11 popular choices around campus. Now up (in poetic form): IHOP.

It was a snowy, frigid night,
And all through the Square
The undergrads were sleeping,
Their snores filled the air.

But three blockmates, awake?
Half past two in the morning.
Their stomachs were grumbling,
Where to get the food they were yearning?

It's 1:30 in the morning, and you're hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square's late-night stops run deep. Over the next 11 days, The Crimson will debate 11 popular choices around campus. First up: The Kong.

I first visited the Kong during my pre-frosh weekend in the spring of 2009. And it has been a steamy, delicious love affair ever since.

Hong Kong Restaurant is simply the best. The Alpha and the Omega of late night food. As a wise man once said, “There’s no telling how a good night will end. But great nights end at the Kong.”", [])

The Hundred Acre Wood just got a little smaller. Last week, the Harvard community was rocked when the tree known simply as "Pooh\'s House" was chopped down just outside the Science Center, leaving nothing but a stump. The tree first gained notoriety after its base was decorated with a red door, along with a miniature awning and sign bearing the name of the famous cartoon bear.

Public backlash following the tree’s removal was intense.

It's an argument almost as old as the burrito itself, and students for generations have devoted untold hours to debating the best burrito joint in Harvard Square. Over the past few days, members of The Crimson's summer staff have made a case the Big 4 of Square burritos: Boloco, Chipotle, Felipe's, and, now, Qdoba.

For those of you that love Qdoba, this article probably isn’t worth your time—you know it all, anyway. But for the less enlightened among you who don’t agree, allow me to explain.

We’ll start off with my favorite stage of burrito-brawling: the bashing. When you really think about it, it’s easy to see why anyone who goes elsewhere to satisfy their burrito cravings is seriously delusional.", [])

Simply put, Chipotle is the best. I won’t sugar-coat it. And neither will Chipotle. The restaurant itself proudly proclaims, “It’s not just a burrito. It’s a foil-wrapped, hand-crafted, local farm supporting, food culture changing cylinder of deliciousness.” And they’re absolutely right. Because not only do they the best-tasting burritos on campus; they are also the healthiest.", [])

June 10, 1913: Not the Rich Man\'s College

A report was recently made before the Associated Harvard Clubs by the Committee on Secondary Schools which discloses some interesting facts concerning Harvard. In making the investigation the Committee selected a group of 292 men in the classes of 1910, 1911, 1912, and 1913, representing the most prominent men in each class, such as class officers, athletes, editors, Phi Beta Kappa men, student councillors, etc.', [])

Like many Harvard students, I was struck by one question when I first explored Harvard Square: why on earth were there four burrito places within a few blocks of each other? Within a few months of living in Cambridge, however, that enigma had been replaced by another: how on earth do Boloco, Chipotle, and Qdoba compete with Felipe’s?", [])

Of all the arguments made against Boloco when trying to determine Harvard Square’s best burrito, perhaps the most common is that it’s the least “authentic.”

I’m from Los Angeles. To call any of the burritos around here authentic would be like saying that Vegas’ Eiffel Tower is Parisian. There’s a reason all those schools that call themselves “The Harvard of Somewhere” don’t just call themselves Harvard.

And once you move past that sticking point, the Boloco experience is the best the Square has to offer.", [])

On Monday, Flyby caught up with Eric A. Kester \'08, author of a book recounting his freshman year at Harvard.

Kester, a contributor to The Crimson during his time as an undergrad, said that he hoped his book, (aptly) named "That Book about Harvard," would help shed light on a school often shrouded in "mystique" and show both the good and bad of the institution.

"[I wanted to show] how there are really good people there; how there are not-so-good people there; how it can be a great education; how it can also be not-so-great a place to learn."', [])

Data analysis done by Steven Syre at The Boston Globe has revealed that the actual cost of attending Harvard (with financial aid factored in) is considerably lower than it initially appears. Of the 14 private colleges in Mass. that Syre surveyed, he found that though all have sticker prices around $55,000, Harvard\'s average actual price—$28,979—was the lowest of the pack.

June 6, 1919: Many Universities Adopt Sweeping Changes in Entrance Requirements

"Citizenship first; scholarship and culture second" appears to be the new slogan of most American colleges and universities in their post war reconstruction. Broad and sweeping changes in the entrance requirements and in the curricula is the form which this new movement has taken.\xa0In some cases both Greek and Latin have been abolished as entrance requirements.
