March 22, 1924: John Harvard Statue To Move to New Position Before University Hall
Action has been taken by the Corporation of the College to have the statue of John Harvard removed from its present site on the Delta, west of Memorial Hall, to a position on the west side of University Hall, where the bronze, map of the Yard at present stands. No definite time has been set for moving the statue, but it is expected that the work will be completed by the middle of May.
Have you spotted this cow around Harvard Sqaure? If so, that's probably because he's actively training for the 2012 Boston Marathon. Underneath the costume is Christopher F. Allison '12, a Molecular and Cellular Biology concentrator who is aiming to raise $5,000 for pediatric cancer research and treatment at the Mass General Hospital for Children. Allison has partnered up with JP Licks, and in exchange for support from the ice cream shop has agreed to train for the marathon and eventually run the marathon in full cow suit garb. Keep your eyes peeled for this do-good cow!
Ben & Jerry's in Harvard Square is showing its Linthusiasm with a new frozen yogurt flavor, "Taste the Lin-Sanity". Ordering it comes with a cute gimmick: shoot a basketball, and if you make the basket, you get a $1 discount on the froyo.
What's inside, though, is less benign. The original frozen yogurt contained honey lychee swirls and fortune cookie pieces, according to manager Ryan Midden in an interview with the Boston Globe.
Need a study break? (That's a trick question—when do you not?) Need to find gifts for everyone on your list? (Of course you do.) Kill two birds with one stone by heading out of Lamont and into the Square for half an hour. You'll come back refreshed and ready to start your paper and, better yet, with all your holiday shopping done.
If you're in need of a boost while studying for all those finals, head over to Clover tomorrow from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. for free cider, donuts, and coffee, sponsored by the Food Literacy Project.
Information will be on hand about the history and process of making coffee and cider donuts, as well as about the importance of sustainability in food.
"One of our goals is to reach out to the community around Harvard," FLP Co-Captain Celia Y. Zhang '13 said. Zhang said that this study break was not just about enjoying free food, but about educating students about where the food comes from.
Students can RSVP for the event here.
