Isis Comes to Harvard

The Crimson reports that Isis, a finals club for women, is getting a room of its own, renting space from the Owl.

It is truly a sign of progress in gender-equity that there is a women-only finals club named after a Saturday morning television character from the 1970s.

It's not named after the Egyptian goddess?

How about the symbolism of the Testudo on Isis belt?

That would be too easy, 4:49. Since we're on the topic, and relevant to MLK, if not this particular song:

In answer to 4:56 PM: the Egyptian goddess Isis is associated with, among other things, the vulture. She is often depicted wearing a vulture headdress.

I went to school in a flyover state. What's a "finals club"?

Can't wait for its companion, the Shazam! finals club, to organize (to follow up on the reference to 70s Saturday morning TV).

The correct term is "final club."
