Revenue and Revelry: How House Committees Spend on Student Entertainment
By Hiral M. Chavre and Darcy G Lin
Harvard’s House Committees (HoCos) manage student entertainment budgets with wide variation in spending, event scale, and resident satisfaction, especially around House formals like Eliot’s exclusive Fête and Lowell’s extravagant Bacchanalia. Despite a standard grant from the Dean of Students Office, additional revenue sources like ticket sales, merchandise, and grants create discrepancies. Some Houses use off-campus venues, while others like Adams and Eliot repurpose dining halls. Student impressions highlight the role of House spirit, HoCo creativity, and equitable access over pure budget size in defining social success.
收入与狂欢：宿舍委员会如何在学生娱乐上消费
作者： Hiral M. Chavre 和 Darcy G Lin
哈佛大学宿舍委员会（HoCos）负责管理学生娱乐预算，其支出、活动规模和住户满意度差异巨大，尤其是在宿舍正式活动方面，例如艾略特的专属庆典和洛厄尔的奢华狂欢节。尽管学生办公室提供了标准拨款，但门票销售、商品和助学金等其他收入来源也造成了差异。一些宿舍使用校外讲台，而像亚当斯和艾略特这样的宿舍则将餐厅改作他用。学生们的印象突出了宿舍精神、宿舍委员会的创造力和公平使用权社交成功中的重要性，而不是简单的布局规模。
Measuring a life well lived
The Global Flourishing Study (GFS), led by Harvard’s Tyler VanderWeele, is one of the largest efforts to measure human wellbeing across multiple dimensions, including happiness, health, purpose, character, and relationships. Surveying over 200,000 people in 22 countries, the study found that wealthier nations often rank lower in overall flourishing, while middle-income countries score higher in meaning, relationships, and character. Notably, flourishing increases with age, and young people are reporting lower wellbeing globally. Religious service attendance and marriage were linked to higher flourishing scores. All GFS data is publicly available for continued research.
衡量美好生活
由哈佛大学的泰勒·范德韦勒（Tyler VanderWeele）领导的全球幸福感研究（GFS）是人类幸福感多个维度（包括幸福感、健康、目标、性格和爱情）中最大规模的研究之一。该研究调查了20个国家的22个国家，许多人发现经济国家在总体幸福感方面的排名通常较低，而中等收入在意义、婚姻家族和方面得分最高。
Editorials: Harvard’s DEI Rebrand Will Serve It Well
Harvard’s rebranding of its diversity office to “Community and Campus Life” and ending University-funded affinity graduations is seen as a strategic move to protect core DEI initiatives while avoiding political backlash. The Crimson Editorial Board argues this is not capitulation to the Trump administration, but a defensive strategy amid legal battles and public criticism. By shedding the controversial DEI label, Harvard preserves support for uncontroversial programs like pre-orientation for first-gen students and inclusive medical materials, while promoting transparency and reducing litigation risk.
社论：哈佛大学DEI品牌重塑将带来良好效果
哈佛大学将其信仰办公室更名为“社区与校园生活”，并终止了由大学资助的亲力毕业典礼，这被视为一项战略举措，旨在保护信仰教育（DEI）的核心项目，同时避免政治复兴。《深红报》编辑委员会认为，这并非向特朗普政府屈服，而是在法律纠纷和公众批评面前采取的防御策略。通过严肃对待争议的信仰教育（DEI）标签，哈佛大学获得了对一些无争议项目的支持，例如针对第一代学生的入学指导和宽容性医疗材料，同时提高了忏悔并降低了诉讼风险。
Editorials Dissent: Harvard Shouldn’t Sacrifice Values for Optics
A group of Crimson Opinion Writers dissent from the Editorial Board’s endorsement of Harvard’s DEI office rebranding, arguing that renaming the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging to “Community and Campus Life” is a retreat from Harvard’s core values. They contend the change was not necessary for public support, citing favorable polling on DEI, and that it miscommunicates Harvard’s stance amid misinformation-fueled attacks from figures like Trump. They argue that the rebrand weakens moral clarity, obscures the office’s function, and fails to address the structural inequities DEI aims to combat.
社论异议：哈佛不应为了外表而牺牲价值观
《深红观点》的一批作者不同意编辑委员会对哈佛大学DEI办公室更名的支持，他们认为将公平、多样性、遏制性和归属感办公室更名为“社区和校园生活”是对哈佛核心价值观的背离。他们认为，这种变化对于公众支持来说没有必要，理由是民意调查显示DEI 表现良好，而且在特朗普等人利用错误信息进行攻击的情况下，这一变化错误地传达了哈佛的立场。他们认为，更名削弱了道德清晰度，掩盖了办公室的职能，并且未能解决DEI 旨在解决的结构性不平等问题。
Columns: An Endowment Tax Is Worse Than You Think
In this column, Julien Berman argues that proposed increases to the endowment tax—including a 35% rate backed by JD Vance—would devastate Harvard’s finances, reducing the net present value of its endowment by up to $18 billion, or nearly 40%. He explains that Harvard’s endowment functions as a stream of annual cash disbursements supporting research, salaries, and financial aid, and that such taxes would have a far greater long-term impact than even the current $2.2 billion federal funding freeze. He contends that Harvard, unlike corporations, exists to spend for public good, not to profit, and thus should not be taxed similarly.
专栏：捐赠税比你想象的还要糟糕
在本专栏中，朱利安·伯曼（Julien Berman）认为，提议的捐赠税增加（由JD Vance支持的35%的增长率）将严重损害哈佛的财务状况，捐赠基金的净现值减少高达180亿美元，即近40%。他解释说，哈佛的捐赠基金每年都会产生现金支出，用于支持研究、工资和财政志愿者，包括这样税收的长期影响甚至会比目前22他认为，哈佛与企业不同，其存在是为了公共利益，而不是为了盈利，因此不应被动用类似的税收。

NYTimes: Harvard’s Trick for Fighting Trump? A Deep Bench of Conservative Lawyers.
To bolster its lawsuit against the Trump administration over federal funding cuts, Harvard has assembled a legal team that includes conservative-aligned lawyers—many of whom previously clerked for Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices or advised the Trump Organization. This strategic move, modeled after past legal battles like Michigan’s affirmative action case, aims to appeal to a right-leaning Supreme Court while reinforcing arguments around academic freedom and the Administrative Procedure Act. Though risky, the approach signals Harvard’s intent to fight Trump’s demands with a bipartisan legal front.
《纽约时报》：哈佛对抗特朗普的诀窍是什么？保守派律师的强大力量。
为了加强对特朗普政府削减联邦资金的诉讼，哈佛大学召集了一系列法律团队，其中包括一些趋于保护的——律师曾采取死刑的法官书记员或为特朗普集团提供咨询这一问题。战略效应效仿了科罗拉多州平法案权等过去的法律战，指示立即转向学术自由和《行政程序法》的论点。虽然存在风险，但这种行为表明了哈佛大学打算通过两方合作的法律阵线来对抗特朗普的要求。
Boston Globe Editorial: If Harvard wants a tolerant campus, it needs to admit tolerant students
In response to two major reports on antisemitism and anti-Palestinian bias, Harvard must go beyond bureaucratic reforms and focus on fostering a tolerant campus culture by carefully considering empathy and civility in admissions, hiring, and discipline. The editorial argues that universities like Harvard should prioritize applicants and faculty who demonstrate respectful dialogue, and consistently enforce clear behavioral standards to curb bullying, harassment, and hostility rooted in political or identity differences, especially during heightened conflicts like the Israel-Gaza war.
《波士顿环球报》社论：如果哈佛想要一个宽容的校园，就需要招收宽容的学生
针对两份关于反犹太主义和反偏见的报告，哈佛大学必须超越官僚改革，注重培养反抗的校园文化，在招募、征用主义和纪律方面认真考虑同理申请心和道德。社论认为，像哈佛这样的大学应该优先考虑那些表现出尊重对话精神的人和教师，并始终如一地执行明确的标准，以源于政治或身份差异的欺凌、骚扰和敌意，尤其是在以色列-沙加战争等冲突时期的行为。
MSN： Trump administration targets Harvard Law Review with race-based discrimination investigation
The Trump administration has launched a civil rights investigation into Harvard University and the Harvard Law Review, alleging race-based discrimination in article and membership selection. Triggered by a report from the Washington Free Beacon, the probe claims the Law Review prioritizes racial and identity-based criteria over merit, potentially violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The investigation escalates tensions between Harvard and the Trump administration, which already froze $2.2 billion in federal funding and demanded the dismantling of DEI programs and ideological screening of international students.
MSN：特朗普政府针对《哈佛法律评论》展开种族歧视调查
特朗普政府已对哈佛大学和《哈佛法律评论》发起民权调查，指控选方面种族歧视。调查由《华盛顿自由灯塔报》的一篇报道引发，称《哈佛评论法律》优先考虑种族和身份标准，但择优承认，这可能违反了《民权法案》第六条。这次调查了哈佛大学与特朗普政府之间存在的紧张关系。特朗普政府已动用了22亿美元的联邦资金，并要求哈佛大学取消DEI项目，并审查国际学生进行审查。
The Times of India: Who is Ethan Shaotran? DOGE member who dropped out of Harvard to Serve his country, says 'most compus hates me now'
Ethan Shaotran, a 22-year-old former Harvard student and AI researcher, left the university to join DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), a federal tech reform initiative led by Elon Musk under the Trump administration. As part of a select group of young engineers embedded in agencies like OPM and GSA, Shaotran now works on modernizing federal systems, often facing backlash—he noted that “most of campus hates me now.” Previously, Shaotran co-founded Energize AI, received a $100K OpenAI grant, and published IEEE-recognized research on autonomous systems. His move reflects the rising influence of tech-savvy youth in federal governance.
《印度时报》：伊桑·绍特兰是谁？DOGE成员，曾从哈佛辍学报国，如今“校园里大多数人都讨厌我”
22岁的Ethan Shaotran，曾就读于哈佛大学，现为人工智能研究员。他离开哈佛大学，加入了由埃隆·马斯克在特朗普政府领导下发起的一项联邦科技改革计划——效率政府部（DOGE）作为人事管理局（OPM）和总务管理局（GSA）等机构中少数优秀青年工程师的一员，Shaotran目前他经常反对——他表示，“现在大多数校园里的人都讨厌我”，获得了10万美元的OpenAI资助，并发表了IEEE认可的自主系统研究成果。他的举动引发了科技的在持续治理中不断增长的影响力。
Avoiding injury when you're on grandkid duty
Older adults caring for grandchildren face a heightened risk of injury due to sudden physical demands like lifting squirmy kids, chasing them, or getting up and down frequently. Harvard experts recommend strength training for the core, legs, and shoulders, using proper lifting techniques, and practicing balance exercises to prevent falls and muscle strain. Techniques like the “sit-to-stand” drill and modified floor transitions can improve mobility. Maintaining strength and stability is key not only to avoid interruptions in childcare but also to protect long-term health and safety.

Treating high blood pressure may help lower risk of cognitive decline
Treating high blood pressure more aggressively may reduce the risk of cognitive decline, according to a 2025 study in Neurology. Researchers analyzed data from the SPRINT trial, which compared intensive treatment (targeting systolic BP <120 mm Hg) to standard treatment (targeting <140 mm Hg) in 9,361 adults over 50. After seven years, the intensive group had an 11% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment, suggesting that tight blood pressure control not only helps prevent cardiovascular disease but may also protect brain health.
治疗风险高血压可能有助于降低认知能力的下降的风险
根据《神经病学》杂志2025年的一项研究，更积极地治疗高血压或可降低认知能力下降的风险。研究人员分析了SPRINT试验的数据，该试验对9361名50岁以上的运动员进行了强化治疗（目标收缩压<120毫米汞柱）和标准治疗（目标收缩压<140毫米汞柱）。七年后，强化治疗组的认知障碍风险降低了11%，这表明严格控制心血管不仅有助于预防心血管疾病，还可以保护大脑健康。
Research highlights health benefits from cold-water immersions
Researchers analyzed the results from 11 studies involving 3,177 people. For most, cold-water exposure involved sitting in an ice bath at or above chest level. (One study used cold showers.) Water temperatures ranged from 45° to 59° F. Exposure time varied from 30 seconds to 15 minutes. (One study included durations from 10 minutes to two hours, and another included intervals of one minute in cold water and one minute out, repeated seven times.) Immersions were done multiple days a week for several weeks.
