HCL Hosts Library Open Houses
November 15, 2005 — Over the past few weeks, Harvard College Library
marked three notable events with celebrations that ranged from sedate
to surreal: Lamont's transition to a 24/5 schedule and the openings
of the Quad and Fung libraries. We'll begin with the surreal
. . .
Lamont 24/5 Celebration
 |
Hosted in conjunction with the Undergraduate
Council (UC), the Lamont 24/5 Celebration, held on a Monday
night from midnight to 1:00 am, drew almost 2,000 students--1900
more than were expected! The UC dubbed the event "Harvard's
best ever Monday night party." |
|
 |
Felipe's Mexican eats and Finale's desserts
were a definite hit. Students couldn't get enough. Quesadilla
passing became a new Harvard pasttime overnight. |

Harvard College, chats with Matt Glazer '06, Undergraduate
Council President. John Haddock '07 (orange shirt), a UC
member, was one of the co-authors of the report that informed
HCL's decisions around extended library hours.
