Best Busts: Annenberg Edition
Hey, get your mind out of the gutter! It’s not what you’re thinking. The busts we’re talking about are the ones mounted on the walls of Annenberg. As freshmen, rarely do we look up from our heaping piles of curly fries and carnival cookies to notice the many stern men staring down at us.

Let us be your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Harvard’s elite.
