Kidding! College was a wild ride, to say the least. It was full of psets, papers, mentors, friends, parties, and late nights at the Kong. From freshman seminars to senior theses, intro meetings to leadership roles, and life on the Yard to our Houses, we have been challenged—challenged to think deeper, ask questions, and enhance our understanding of others. As a Class, we have traveled across campus and around the globe, broadening our own horizons and putting lessons into practice. Inspiring, talented, intelligent, traveled, thoughtful, kind, friendly: these are just a few words that pop into our heads when we think about the phenomenal individuals who make up our Class. We laughed together; we cried together; we have become a cohesive unit, a family––and now it’s time for our paths to diverge. The idea that this is the end is frightening, and we may not know what to expect, but here’s our big bang theory. In a few weeks our unit will spread to cover nearly every section of the globe. We’ll have friends in New York, Taiwan, Georgia, and Brazil. Classmates will be taking on a variety of challenges like doing field research, running their own businesses, continuing their education, or traveling the world. Harvard, as we know it, will no longer be confined to the five-mile radius in Cambridge, but instead it will lie in the long-distance phone conversation with your freshman year roommate or a quick coffee date with your former teammate. Harvard is all of us, and we take a little bit of it with us wherever we go. But for now, before our big bang on Commencement, before we shoot off and expand like stars in the Milky Way, let’s go out with a bang. With this in mind, your Senior Class Committee and the Harvard Alumni Association have organized the events outlined in this booklet as a capstone to four years of hard work, perseverance, and excitement. From roller coasters and soirées to talent shows and athletic competitions, these events will surely be some of the most fun and memorable of our time here. Take advantage of these opportunities to bond with friends and classmates and create memories that you’ll talk about not just the morning after but also at our 5th, 25th, and 50th Reunions. And no matter where you find yourself after Commencement, always remember that Harvard— especially the Class of 2015—will be there for you as a source of support and community. Stay connected with one another and with our Class, and remember that our website (harvard2015.com), class newsletters, regional Facebook groups and mailing lists, and local Harvard Clubs and Shared Interest Groups will be great sources of news, events, and connections in your new homes. If you have any questions about Senior Week, please don’t hesitate to contact any of us on the Senior Class Committee. We’re here to help make this week as exciting and enjoyable as possible. Make it a memorable week. This is our time. It’s Senior Week—do it right!

    Debating Diversity Following the Widely Publicized Deaths of Black Tape

    KENNEDY SCHOOL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Harvard Kennedy School aims to build students’ capacity for better public policy, wise democratic governance, international amity, and more. Now it is addressing its own capacity issues (as described at harvardmag.com/ hks-16). In January, as seen across Eliot Street from the northeast (opposite page), work was well under way to raise the level of the interior courtyard, install utility space in a new below-grade level, and erect a four-story “south building.” The project will bridge the Eliot Street opening between the Belfer (left) and Taubman (right) buildings with a new “gateway” structure that includes faculty offices and other spaces. The images on this page (above and upper right) show views diagonally across the courtyard from Taubman toward Littauer, and vice versa. Turning west, across the courtyard toward the Charles Hotel complex (right), affords a look at the current open space between buildings; the gap is to be filled with a new, connective academic building, including classrooms.

One day early in 1936, however, he was summoned to the office of his superior, Harry Miller Lydenberg, and there introduced to James Bryant Conant, the President of Harvard, who was in New York to discuss with Mr. Lydenberg a candidate to be Librarian of Harvard College, a position that was expected to lead to that of Director of the University Library.

Harvard owes its very name to the library that was left in 1638 by John Harvard to the newly created College. For 370 years, the College and the University that grew around it have had libraries at their heart. While the University sprouted new buildings, departments, and schools, the library grew into a collection of collections, adding new services and locations until its tendrils stretched as far from Cambridge as Washington, DC and Florence, Italy.

    Gold Coaster: the Alumni Magazine of Adams House

    THE ALUMNI MAGAZINE OF ADAMS HOUSE, HARVARD COLLEGE A T UTOR'S T ALE: W HEN HOUSE IS HOME Sean M. Lynn-Jones The author at the B-entry "Love or Pas de Love" Party in 1992 Choosing (and Being Chosen By) Adams In the spring of 1984, I was a graduate student in the Department of Government at Harvard. For several years, I had aspired to become a resident tutor in one of Harvard’s houses. I hoped that living in a house would provide a sense of community, which was sorely lacking in the lives of most graduate students, not to mention free food and housing. Although I had been a nonresident tutor at Dudley House and then Currier House, I applied to be a resident tutor in Adams, mainly because Jeff Rosen ‘86 told me that Adams might be looking for a Government tutor and encouraged me to apply. At that time, Adams House had a very pronounced image as the “artsy-fartsy gay house.” The stereotype oversimplified the character of the house, but there was no doubt that Adams House was more bohemian, fashionable, tolerant, diverse, and creative than any of Harvard’s other houses, even if it lacked a large population of varsity athletes. My friends joked that I didn’t seem to fit the Adams bill at all: I was straight, my artistic, dramatic, and musical talents were extremely well hidden, and the only black items in my wardrobe were socks. Nevertheless, I convinced myself that tutors didn’t have to fit the stereotype of their houses and enthusiastically applied to Adams, met with Master Robert Kiely and several students, and was pleasantly surprised to receive very soon after an offer of a resident tutorship.
