Harvard Today: March 13, 2015

By Jennifer Y Yao

Happy Friday, Harvard! This is it! After today’s classes, we’re free! A whole week with no lectures to sleep through, no office hours to skip, no extracurriculars that mean we have to trek across campus for a one hour meeting, although that could become a common occurrence for the freshmen that just got #quadded.

IN THE NEWS

1) The Other Housing Lottery: “Two springs ago, Erika M. Veidis ’15 was the odd one out. A member of the women’s track team and a resident of Pforzheimer House in the Radcliffe Quad, Veidis had to shuffle back and forth from home to practice and back, so some days she stayed with friends on the River to avoid making the trek. Unhappy with her living arrangements, Veidis applied to transfer and live on the River.”

2) As Seniors Print Theses, Classics Shifts to Digital Submissions: “As deadlines for thesis submissions approach and many seniors scramble to print a physical copy of their nearly year-long research effort, the Classics Department will require its thesis writers to submit only digital copies of their work.”

3) College To Host Freshman Formal On Campus: "Anticipating Boston hotels’ concerns about potential liability risks associated with hosting the College’s annual freshman formal, organizers have opted to hold the event on campus, outside on the Science Center Plaza, in late April this year."

PHOTO OF THE DAY

After a student in Leverett placed the head of a bunny, the Leverett House mascot, on the John Harvard statue, another student climbed to toss it in the air during Housing Day on Thursday. Upperclassmen stormed Harvard Yard on Thursday morning to deliver letters to freshmen notifying them of their house placement.
