Harvard Sees Surge in Flu Cases Following National Trend
Harvard is experiencing a surge in flu cases, mirroring national trends. Students report difficulties obtaining flu medication due to national shortages, though supplies are intermittently restocked. The CDC has classified Massachusetts' flu severity as “very high” since early February, with flu-related doctor visits increasing sharply. Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) confirms rising cases and provides discounted medical supplies. Some students sought urgent care, receiving IV drips and flu tests, while others opted against medication. The outbreak continues to spread, with students frequently reporting new cases.
哈佛大学流感病例激增，与全国趋势一致
哈佛大学正在经历流感病例激增，这与全国趋势如出一例。学生报告称，由于全国范围内的流感药物普遍难以获得流感药物，尽管供应无法时补。自2月初以来，美国疾病控制与预防中心已将马萨诸塞州的严重流感程度变得“非常高” ”，流感相关的就诊了大规模流感药物。哈佛大学健康服务中心(HUHS)确认病例不断增加，并提供防护医疗用品。一些学生寻求紧急护理，接受滴注和流感测试，而其他人则选择不服药。疫情继续扩散，学生报告新病例不断。
‘It's Not Like Goodbye’: Students Seek Convenience, Friends With Interhouse Transfer
By Hiral M. Chavre and Darcy G Lin
Nearly 200 Harvard students applied for interhouse transfers this semester, many hoping to leave the Radcliffe Quadrangle for more convenient housing closer to friends and campus activities. While some, like Kyle E. Neeley ’26, successfully transferred to live with friends, others were rejected and plan to reapply in May. Students cited proximity to extracurriculars, housing infrastructure, and family considerations as key reasons for transferring. Dissatisfaction with some Houses’ layouts and aesthetics also played a role. Despite the changes, many students emphasized maintaining connections with their original House communities.
“这不是再见”：学生通过校内转学寻求便利和朋友
作者: Hiral M. Chavre 和 Darcy G Lin
本学期，近200名哈佛学生申请了宿舍间转学，许多人希望离开拉德克利夫四绝合院，进更方便的宿舍，离开校园朋友活动更成功。虽然有些人，如2026届的凯尔E.尼利，转学与朋友同住，但其他人被拒绝绝，并计划在5名学生表示，留下课外活动场所的距离、住房考虑基础和家庭设施是转学的主要原因。对一些宿舍布局和外观尺寸的不满也是原因。尽管发生了变化，但学生仍然强调要与原来的宿舍社区保持联系。
Khurana Says He Will Focus on ‘Recentering Academics’ in Last Semester as College Dean
Harvard College Dean Rakesh Khurana plans to focus on "recentering academics" in his final semester, emphasizing intellectual engagement and combating grade inflation. He supports policies like the Chatham House rules to encourage open discussion and discourage self-censorship among students. While he won’t be involved in selecting his successor, Khurana stresses that the next dean should deeply engage with students. After stepping down, he will return to teaching organizational sociology. He reiterated that Harvard’s mission is to educate future leaders, not just serve as a credentialing institution.
库拉纳表示，作为本科生学院院长，他将在最后一个学期集中于“重新以学术为中心”
哈佛学院彭拉凯什·库拉纳计划在最后一个学期关注“重新以学术为中心”，强调知识参与和对抗分数膨胀。他支持查塔姆研究所规则等，鼓励公开讨论，阻止学生自我审查。虽然他不会参与选择继任者，但库拉纳强调，下一任校长应该与学生进行深入交流。卸任后，他将围绕组织社会学教学。他主持，哈佛的使命是未来的领导者，而不仅仅是一个认证机构。
Keeping cool when debate turns hot
Harvard’s Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Ethics hosted the Challenging Barriers to Civil Discourse conference, bringing together global scholars to explore fostering productive discussions on contentious topics. FAS Dean Hopi Hoekstra emphasized universities’ role in modeling civil dialogue. Speakers shared insights from Alternative Dispute Resolution, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "beloved community", and nonpolitical social engagement to build empathy. Scholars debated balancing discourse, stability, and diversity, with some advocating for more open debate. The conference also introduced Harvard’s new Ethics Center research and design studio to further civil discourse initiatives.
辩论激烈时保持冷静
哈佛大学埃德蒙和莉莉萨夫拉伦理中心举办了“挑战文明对话”会议，将全球聚集的学者聚集在一起解决问题，探讨如何促进有争议的话题的商业成就的讨论。哈佛大学伦理中心帕克霍皮·特拉胡克斯强调了大学在塑造文明对话方面的作用。演讲者分享了来自替代性争议的讨论。讨论。马丁·路德·金的“挚爱社区”与非政治性社会参与等方面建立了同理心的意见。学者们就如何平衡话语、稳定性和多样性展开了辩论，其中一些学者参与了更开放的辩论。会议还介绍了哈佛大学新的伦理中心研究和设计工作室，进一步推动文明对话活动。

学生开展守夜活动纪念俄罗斯乌克兰三周年
哈佛学生聚集在纪念教堂，参加哈佛大学本科生乌克兰团结小组组织的守夜活动，纪念俄罗斯侵略乌克兰三周年。乌克兰学生分享了坚韧不拔的个人故事，强调继续支持的重要性。尽管美国最近对俄罗斯的大选发生了变化，但参加者仍举起蜡烛为乌克兰祈祷。组织者强调需要全球战争关注。战争活动纪念了那些逝去的人民，同时支持了乌克兰的民主和持续的自由斗争。
Columns: Administrative Reports Won’t Make Students Speak Their Minds
A recent Crimson opinion piece argues that Harvard's approach to free speech—issuing administrative reassurances—fails to address the real problem: a campus culture where disagreement feels risky. A Faculty of Arts and Sciences report found only 35% of seniors felt comfortable expressing opposing views on controversial topics, suggesting social pressures, not formal censorship, are the issue. The author contends that real change requires normalizing intellectual conflict, encouraging open debate without excessive caution. Instead of more policies, Harvard should foster an environment where disagreement is seen as essential to learning.
专栏：行政报告不会让学生说出自己的想法
Crimson最近的一篇评论文章认为，哈佛大学侵犯人权的方式——发布保证——未能解决真正的问题：只有校园文化中，关闭令人震惊。文理学院的报告单独发现，35%的高年级学生愿意表达争议的话题，表达反对意见，表明问题存在社会压力，而不是正式的审查制度。作者认为，真正的改变需要冲突行政正常化，鼓励公开辩论，但不要过度。哈佛大学不应该制定更多政策，而应该建立一个开放环境，让封闭被视为学习的必要条件。
Columns: Harvard, I Have More Than Seven Friends
A Crimson opinion piece criticizes Harvard’s removal of “linking” in the housing process, arguing that it has made blocking more stressful and exclusive. Previously, students could link two groups, ensuring proximity to more friends. Now, with only eight spots per block, students face a competitive, exclusionary selection process, leading to fractured friendships and social anxiety. The author contends that this change undermines fairness, reverses historical progress toward inclusivity, and even complicates romantic relationships. Ultimately, they call for Harvard to reconsider its decision and restore linking.
专栏：哈佛，我有七个以上的朋友
Crimson的一篇评论文章哈佛大学在哈尔过程中取消了“联系”制度，认为这让街区关系关系变得更加紧张和排他。以前，学生可以联系两个群体，确保与朋友关系更多地保持距离。现在，每个街区只有八个名额，学生面临竞争、性的选择过程，排挤友情导致冲突和社交焦虑。认为，这种变化破坏了公平性，阻碍了抵抗性的历史进程，使决定作者恋爱关系变得更加复杂。最终，他们呼吁重新考虑其并联系。
Flyby： A Case for Renaming FlyBy
A Crimson writer humorously argues that Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) should rename its to-go meal service, FlyBy, to avoid confusion with The Harvard Crimson’s blog, Flyby. The author recounts repeatedly having to clarify that they write for the blog, not the meal service, and proposes several alternative names: Hurryvard, HUDS Express, VeriFly, VeriQuick, HUDS n’ Go, and Grab & Go. They emphasize that a clearer name would help distinguish the services and better reflect HUDS’ function. The piece calls for a long-overdue change to end the mix-up.
Flyby：FlyBy 改名原因
《深红报》的一位幽默地指出，哈佛大学餐饮服务部（HUDS）应该将其外卖餐饮服务更名为FlyBy，深圳市与《哈佛深红报》的博客Flyby不一致。作者表示，作者不得不强调他们，澄清是博客而不是餐饮服务写，并提出了几个替代名称：Hurryvard、HUDS Express、VeriFly、VeriQuick、HUDS n'Go和Grab 他们强调，更清晰的名称将有助于区分这些服务，更好地反映 HUDS 的功能。该项目要求立即进行更改，以结束这种混乱。
Hinting at answer to a chicken-or-egg question on evolution
A study led by Felix Elling may resolve whether oxygen production by photosynthesis or its consumption via aerobic metabolism evolved first. Researchers discovered methyl-plastoquinone, a molecule in nitrogen-utilizing bacteria, which appears to be a missing link between the two metabolic processes. This suggests that some bacteria may have used oxygen even before cyanobacteria began producing it during the Great Oxidation Event (~2.4 billion years ago). The findings imply that oxygen production and consumption co-evolved, shaping life’s biochemical pathways, including how humans breathe today.
暗示进化论中“先有鸡还是先有蛋”问题的答案
由Felix Elling领导的一项研究或将解答光合作用产生氧气还是有促进补氧是先进化进程的这个问题。研究人员在利用氮的分子中发现了甲基质体醌生命分子，它似乎是通道之间的相互过程。这表明，在大氧化事件（约24）中蓝藻开始产生氧气，近年来可能开始使用氧气了。这些发现意味着氧气的产生和是共同进化的，塑造了呼吸的化路线，已经包括了今天的方式。
