We join in thy Jubilee throng, And with blessings surrender thee o’er. By these Festival-rites, from the Age that is past, To the Age that is waiting before. O Relic and Type of our ancestors’ worth, That hast long kept their memory warm, First flow’r of their wilderness! Star of their night! Calm rising thro’ change and thro’ storm. [Revised 1998] 2012 Class Ode Glenn Townsend Bogardus ’12, Edward Daniel ’12, Rachel Langston Hawkins ’12, Jennifer Christine Houpy ’12, Elizabeth Rose Moroney ’12, and Duncan Joseph Watts ’12 Fair classmates! Though storm drew us close at the first, Through days after, our friendships were born. As the world withstood turmoil, we bonded as one, And at home, we saw Harvard transform. From Crimson turn’d Green to the Occupation, Old @fas and the Core are now gone. We have weathered the whirlwinds of cuts and of change; Will clouds pass to give way to the dawn? Onward Crimson, go forth toward horizons unknown With the knowledge that Harvard has wrought. While the future may daunt, dwell upon Harvard’s truth That we’ve found amidst challenges fought: Flags of vict’ry anew streamed above Soldiers Field! We kept Harvard’s long hist’ry in mind. Learn’d and tried, look yet forward, Two Thousand and Twelve! Part to better serve country and kind. 124 Mount Auburn Street, 6th Floor Cambridge, Massachusetts alumni.harvard.edu | 617-496-7001 HAA 12-127.

  • Harvard College
    Appendix A Harvard University’s Responses to Committee Requests Dated September 25, 2019 The following information and materials enclosed or cited are submitted in response to the Chairman’s questions. Although some have tried to place the decision not to reappoint Professor Sullivan and Ms. Robinson at the conclusion of their term into broader political narratives of academic freedom or even the Sixth Amendment right to legal representation, the simple truth is that this was an administrative decision about the best path forward for Winthrop House after a period of considerable disruption. Professor Sullivan and Ms. Robinson remain at Harvard University as faculty members in good standing. Question 1: The American Bar Association’s Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.2(b) states, “A lawyer’s representation of a client, including representation by appointment, does not constitute an endorsement of the client's political, economic, social or moral views or activities.” Do you believe it is important for students of Harvard College, whether they intend to engage in the legal profession in some future capacity or not, to appreciate the essence of this rule and the implications it has for the concept of due process afforded to individuals accused of committing crimes in the United States? How heavily did Harvard College weigh consideration of this value when it decided to discontinue its relationship with Ronald S. Sullivan, Jr., and his wife, Stephanie Robinson, as faculty deans of Winthrop House? Response: The mission of Harvard College (the “College”) is to educate citizens and leaders for our society, which we achieve through our commitment to the transformative power of a liberal arts and sciences education.
