Pictures from Harvard 2006

It may surprise some of you, but I graduated from Harvard. It was ten years ago, on a Thursday in June 1996. For the first time in about 5 years, I returned to Cambridge, this time to attend my tenth reunion. My brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to shelter me, but they're in the process of moving and I didn't want to post photos of boxes and stuff. Instead, I decided to give you a tour. There are a few photos from the reunion, but most of the pictures are important places from my college years.

The Harvard T stop.	Out of Town News, the famous meeting place in Harvard Square.	Harvard Square, which is more corporate than 10 years ago.
Widener library, home of many books and much veritas.	The John Harvard statue, though it's really just someone dressed like him.	Looking out on the pretty, wooded campus.
Part of Harvard Yard.	Memorial Hall, build to remember the deaths of war. The Civil War.	The Harvard Mark I, one of the first computers. It cost $200,000 and ran three instructions per second.
Domes of Kirkland House and Eliot House.	Part of the Kirkland House grounds.	Not all the memorials at Harvard are really old.
The elegant Saturday night formal. Well, elegant except for the muddy ground underneath.	The charming and lovely Lisa and I.	Hank and I, roommates for our first two years.
Wigglesworth Hall H-11, where Hank and I lived freshman year.	Newell Boathouse, where I spent lots of time freshman year on lightweight crew.	The giant stone ball located outside Tozzer anthropology library, my favorite place to hide and study.
The Science Center, home of the statistics department.	Inside the Science Center. I took more classes here than in any other building.	Pierce Hall, home of the my department, applied math.
St. Paul's Catholic Church. In 1994 and 1995 I served as usher for the 7:30 AM Mass.	The 7:30 may surprise you who know my current schedule.	I spent a lot of time here too.
The inside of the center.	Lamont Library, where I shelved books for three years.	Memorial Church (different from Memorial Hall). The pews are padded and a nice quiet place for between-class naps.
Mather House, my dorm for the last three years.	It's less pretty than most of the campus, but easily defensible in case of invasion.	I lived in the tower, with great views of the Charles River.
The views were like this one.	And this one, looking across to Harvard Business School.	Eventually, I had to head back to Chicago. I miss Harvard.
