Harvard Today: April 7, 2015

Happy Tuesday, Harvard! The tourists are out in full force again, which can mean only one thing: winter is officially over! Forget Punxsutawney Phil predicting when the seasons are going to change; the best way to judge the weather is to see how many tourists are keeping you from making it to the lecture you have decided to finally go to for once.
