<p>1st of all: I have NOTHING against Harvard, in fact it's one of my top choices. But i found this article while browsing the harvard website:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.satirev.com/0604/harvard/5.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.satirev.com/0604/harvard/5.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Prefrosh Class: Ugly Again
Over the course of prefrosh weekend this year, Harvard students have discovered that the prefrosh class, once again, is ugly. Response to the news has been overwhelmingly positive, as students praise the admissions office for continuing a long-standing Harvard tradition. </p>

<p>"An ugly student body is a highly important and historical part of this college, just as much as academic rigor, or intense extracurriculars, or being really depressed about how ugly everyone is," said Pamela Feinstein '04. "Thank goodness these fine Harvard traditions will remain sacred." </p>

<p>University Historian Bretton Babot '52 confirmed that Harvard students have indeed always been ugly. "In fact," he added, "the college's first-ever class was mistaken by John Harvard for his herd of swine. He made them 'graze,' forcing them to run naked around Harvard yard screaming and eating grass. Oddly enough, this has evolved into a time-honored Harvard tradition - now called 'commencement'." </p>

<p>According to statistics released by the admissions office, 42% of the admitted prefrosh are fugly, 32% are uglords, 21% are heinous, and the remaining 5% are unsightly. </p>

<p>Director of admissions William Fitzsimmons expressed pride in these statistics and confidence in the future. "This year, we had more qualified ugly applicants than ever, and we had no trouble filling the class with them. It's as if our secret ugly-quota of 100% wasn't even there." He then glanced nervously around the room and added, "It's not." </p>

<p>Despite the generally positive response, a few students have merely expressed ambivalence about the ugliness of the prefrosh class. As senior Joel Hayden puts it, "They're ugly? I can't really tell, because I lost my thick, thick glasses, and my eyes are all dried up from acne ointment and diet pills." </p>

<p>hahahaha....</p>

<p>=)</p>

<p>Well, this obviously has to be taken lightly. Harvard does have its share of good-looking people and the article is from a satire journal (Harvard's to be sure, so if he's funny it speaks well of the author's ability).</p>

<p>I didn't find it that funny, but if it's a cheap shot at Harvard.. hah! whatever...</p>
