The Harvard-Radcliffe Rugby Football Club bypassed traditional forms of fundraising by creating a method of raising money unique to their athleticism: moving. Calling themselves "Radcliffe Movers," members of the Women's Rugby team will work in groups of two and three people to assist students as they move boxes and furniture out of their dorms and into house storage facilities. "We get off-season lifting workouts, you get your stuff moved," reads the tagline on the Radcliffe Movers sign-up form.

First drafts are no longer safe from the eyes of outsiders. Flyby raided the Lamont recycling bins to discover the deeply profound, uncover the roughest of the rough, and unearth a slew of amusing, verbose, and altogether fascinating papers.

Tastemaker is a series in which we reserve the right to opine. This week, the Internet Blow Up.

#Whatshouldwecallme didn't stand a chance. In a year defined by what Flyby will refer to as the "Internet Blow Up," any slightly amusing online trend instantly became fodder for every blog and/or facebook status update. What once made us laugh now gives us the urge to report as spam, or at least vomit a little in our mouths and then all over our keyboards.

Next Saturday students will turn in the last batch of final exams and the 2011-2012 school year will be officially complete. The class of 2012, which only has a few tests, senior week, and Commencement ahead of them, can attest to the fact that your Harvard experience really will finish before you can say "Primal Scream." While there is no way to slow the passing of time, Flyby suggests that you take advantage of your remaining weeks, semesters, or years here and partake in those Harvard traditions that you will regret forgoing after graduation.

May 3, 1927: New Manter Hall to Rise Soon

The final plans for the Manter Hall School's new building which will be located at the corner of Mount Auburn and Holyoke Streets have been approved and work will start immediately. The building which has been designed by the firm of Adden and Parker will be four stories high of red brick and will be architecturally in harmony with the colonial style now so prevalent throughout the University. Originally to be only three stories high, it was found that more room was necessary and the fourth floor which has been added to the plans will be given over entirely to dormitory rooms for students in the school.

The basement will be a grill room and the ground floor space will be rented to stores. The second and third floors will be used for classrooms with the main entrance leading to them opening onto Mt. Auburn Street.
