REUNION HEADQUARTERS: 617-495-7805 OR 617-495-7806 Dear Classmates,

WELCOME BACK TO CAMBRIDGE!

Your Thirty-fifth Reunion Committee has been working diligently over the past year to provide opportunities to see old friends and meet new ones, reminisce, be intellectually challenged, and just have fun. You will be surprised to see the changes around the campus as well as much that has stayed the same.

We have worked to develop a unique and interesting program—with the constant and careful support of the Harvard Alumni Association’s Michele Blanc and Shealan Anderson. We hope you enjoy Reunion as much as we enjoyed planning it.

In the pages that follow, you will find details of the programmed events and logistical information. Beyond what is contained in the schedule, we invite you to connect with one another outside of the formal program. These informal interactions prove to be memorable and rewarding.

Let the merriment begin! Gwill E. York and Steven P. Rosenthal Thirty-fifth Reunion Program Committee Co-chairs

Security personnel will be on duty in building manager’s office from midnight until 7:00 am for any late arrivals and in case of emergencies. Breakfast will be available beginning at 6:30 am each day (8:00 am on Sunday). TICKETS AND NAME BADGES All tickets necessary for individual events will be issued to you upon check-in at headquarters. For events that are not individually ticketed, your name badge will serve as your ticket. Please wear your name badge throughout Reunion. Tickets for both the Commencement Morning Exercises and the Afternoon Program will be available on Wednesday and Thursday (May 28 and 29) only. Tickets for the Morning Exercises are issued only to alumni. Space limitations in Tercentenary Theatre allow only ticketed alumni into the morning activities. Guests may view the Morning Exercises from the Science Center. Guests are welcome to join alumni for the Afternoon Program, but tickets are required. BAGS AND PERSONAL ITEMS All persons, bags, and personal items are subject to inspection before entering Harvard Yard. No backpacks of any type will be admitted. No bag or item larger than 12"×12"×12" will be permitted inside the Yard. PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION If you plan to drive to Reunion, please remember that parking in Cambridge is very difficult. Legal parking, especially around Winthrop House, is extremely limited. Arrangements have been made with Harvard to reserve space for the Class of 1979 at the 10 Everett Street Garage. Please see the class website, hr79.org, for directions. When you arrive, please identify yourself as a reunion

14 attendee; the parking attendant will provide you with a pass for the garage.

If you come to Cambridge by taxi, please go directly to Winthrop House. Bellhops and shuttles will assist you in traveling from Winthrop House to your dorm room. The influx of family members and guests for Commencement activities makes the campus particularly lively during this time. Mobility in the Yard and around the River Houses tends to be constrained. Therefore, we ask that you use the reunion shuttle service and bellhops to minimize disruptions to all those enjoying the campus at this busy time. Reunion vans may be reserved for attendees with disabilities and for Children’s Program attendees in the Grape Group (ages 6–8) who are accompanied by a parent. Arrangements for van use must be made in advance with the student transportation coordinator. GRATUITIES The students who perform various duties throughout reunion week greatly appreciate gratuities. Bellhops and drivers will assist you with your luggage and help you move into and out of your dorm room. Van drivers will also transport you around campus during the week. Please tip bellhops, drivers, and bartenders directly. Your tips will be pooled and shared among the students who work as a team. LIBRARY AND MUSEUM PRIVILEGES Alumni are eligible to receive a Widener Library Stacks Access Card without a fee. With this card, alumni are permitted to borrow books from Widener and most of the other Harvard College libraries any six days over a 12-month period.

If you are commuting to Harvard, please make arrangements with your child’s counselor so that your child will be brought to the Night Program headquarters after evening activities to be looked after until you return from your evening event. On Wednesday, there will be a pizza party in the Phillips Brooks House Tent. Afterward, parents and children are asked to attend an orientation meeting at their respective Children’s Program headquarters. When orientation is over, counselors will be available to escort the children to their rooms and provide nighttime care for the Grape Group.
