Return to Harvard Day
Harvard Rituals
Beyond touring the campus, sampling public service programs, and attending courses and colloquiums, Return to Harvard Day was about reimmersion into the fabric of everyday life in the Harvard community for 250 alumni and alumnae.
Robert S. Blacklow ’55, senior lecturer in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School, said of the April 7 sessions, “I was impressed by the diversity, vitality, and genuine enthusiasm of both the student body and the faculty.”
Bill Alden ’50, M.B.A. ’52, said, “My granddaughter Kristina and my son Lincoln were very excited by seeing Harvard through my old eyes and the comparatively new eyes of Harvard youth. The lectures and campus tours were just great. The beat for excellence goes on.”
Eeke de Milliano ’11, a Crimson Key Society tour guide, said she received many insights from the alumni, adding, “This was definitely one of my favorite tours I had ever given. … What made it special was that when I was talking about the history of Harvard, I was telling it to people who had actually lived and made that history.”
