Hello Undergraduates,
With leap day, it seems like we're leaping into spring weather! Reminder
that this Friday marks Add Date, which, amongst other things, is the last
day to change a class to P/D/F for Juniors and Seniors, a class to
exploratory for Sophomores, and the last day to add a class!
----
*Interesting piece of history of the week *from our UA History Chair,
Allan Sadun
(ua-history at mit.edu; add yourself to the ua-history-interest at mit.edu mailing
list here <https://groups.mit.edu/webmoira/list/ua-history-interest> if
you'd like to receive more):
*"You may have noticed that Lobby 7 has gotten redecorated as part of MIT's
celebration of the 100th anniversary of our move to Cambridge. Here
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obD_nK9VanE
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obD_nK9VanE>) is a 20-minute short film
(released just this week!), about the construction of the campus. It
features, among other things, some great OSHA violations 10 minutes in, and
the Chorallaries singing 12 minutes in."*
