"Thanks to Harvard's multifaceted education, I have been able to launch two careers, one in entertainment, one in politics. The diversity of the staff, student body and curriculum will stand anyone's career in good stead. I encourage all those who have the opportunity to attend."

--Fred L. Grandy '70 is a Congress-person from Iowa. He played Gopher in Love Boat.

"Harvard is cooler than I expected it to be. The people are great and we do a lot of things beside study--like play sports, party, play sports and party. We're going to have a great time next year."

--Dave Rogers '93 is a 6'5", 250 lb. offensive tackle. He recently stopped a mugging in London.

"Harvard offers a number of strong attractions. From my point of view, the most important is the extraordinary group of undergraduates we have here. If it is not the best, it is one of the most exciting and active groups of students. We are really unparalleled in this aspect."

--L. Fred Jewett '57 is dean of the College.

"When I was a pre-frosh, I learned how to play Tetris. I spent a lot of time sitting in classes and not understanding or caring what was going on and I drank too much. Come to think of it, pre-frosh week is a perfect microcosm of my entire first year of college."

--Adam Webb '93 is a North Yard representative to the Undergraduate Council.

The Number Two Pre-Frosh Lie

There are big parties in Boylston, Sever and Straus E.

"It's a big decision you've got to make, whether or not to come to Harvard-Radcliffe. Four years is a large chunk of your life. The only way to really find out whether you would like it here or not--at a deep-down, gut-level feeling--is to attend the May 5th Ziggy Marley and the Melodymakers concert. That will give you a solid understanding of what life at Harvard is all about. Then--and only then--you can make an intelligent and truly informed decision."

--Guhan Subramanian '91 is chair of the Undergraduate Council, the student representative body that has invested several thousand dollars in the Ziggy Marley concert.

"In this regard, both Yale and Harvard offer a skeleton on which you hang marvellous pieces of intellectual experiences for the rest of your life. They give you a framework. Of course, there are differences between the two colleges, and they are wonderful."

--Walter D. Littell '55 is a Yale University spokesperson.

"Real Harvard life isn't like the free ride pre-frosh week makes it seem like. After you get here there are no more free a cappella concerts, and no more ice skating unless you're on a hockey team. The grass isn't even this green usually--they spray painted that on for you."
