Love Thy Neighbor

Everyone knows there’s nothing better than a secret admirer.

For those of you looking for another way to share the love this season, Mather and Cabot HoCos are here to help. Both Houses have placed anonymous “compliment boxes” in their dining halls for residents to send messages to each other.

This is the second year Mather has had a compliment box, and last year the messages helped brighten Valentine’s Day for nearly 200 lonely Matherites.

“It’s sort of like in grade school, whenever you used to do the thing where everyone had their own decorated box,” Cabot HoCo Chair Molly M. Rooney ’11 said.

Rooney said that the messages are meant to help build community within Cabot.

“It’s good to be able to express your feelings for someone in a semi-formal type of way,” she said, “If love was there, that’d be cool too.”

The messages will be delivered on Sunday, so take a few minutes to keep the love alive this weekend.

“We just do whatever we can to facilitate matchmaking on Valentine’s Day,” Mather HoCo Chair Ankur N. Argawal ’11 said.
