Harvard Square is "a large triangular area in the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street, and John F. Kennedy Street. Adjacent to the historic heart of Harvard University, Harvard Yard, the Square (as it is called locally) functions as a commercial center for Harvard students, as well as residents of western Cambridge and the inner western suburbs of Boston. The full wikipedia article details more.
It is one of the most beautiful and historic college areas on any campus and is a big tourist spot for people stopping in Boston. Ivy League scholar or not, it is worth stopping by to see along with the rest of the campus and wonderful city.

A school better known for its consumption of beer, has begun to gain national attention as a training ground for top CEOs. An article in BusinessWeek magazine reported that UW-Madison is tied for first place with Harvard in terms of producing CEOs who head Standard & Poors 500 Index companies.
The BusinessWeek article noted that todays CEOs are less likely than predecessors to be company loyalists or military veterans, and tend to stem from large public universities.
Wisconsin and Harvard each produced 14 CEOs at S&P 500 companies from their undergraduate alumni. Outside of S&P 500 companies, more than 1,050 UW-Madison alumni serve as a CEO of companies and other organizations of all sizes, and nearly 16,000 hold an executive management position.
Why do Wisconsin alumni seem apt to rise to the role of leader? "Lots of schools talk about leadership," says Michael M. Knetter, dean of the UW-Madison School of Business, "Wisconsin graduates are doing it."
According to Knetter, "One important reason is that the university has great inputs. Although it draws students from all over the world, many of our students come from in state and Wisconsin's K-12 education system is consistently ranked as one of the best in the nation.

This year Harvard students have something to fear other than being buried under schoolwork. Those bleary eyed shuffling people on campus might be something more than the hordes of tired late night studiers. The Harvard Crimson reports that a zombie movie set at Harvard will begin filming in the Spring of 2009
"The Harvard Zombie Massacre" will be produced by Warren Zide, producer of the American Pie and Final Destination series. While Executive Producer Ryan Lewis hopes to film on campus, it might not be possible. The Harvard Crimson states that "on-campus shoots are the exception rather than the rule." A recent Harvard horror movie, "Barackula"-in which Barack Obama fights of vampires during his time at Harvard-was also filmed off location.
