Nearly four centuries later, the school has not abandoned that mission. In a campus-wide email sent Friday, the university weighed in on an ecclesiastical controversy that has dogged the secular clergy of our own time: how to eat in public with a mask on.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Eating and drinking together are a cornerstone of human social interaction,&#8221; Harvard\u2019s health director Giang Nguyen acknowledged in the email. But there are still &#8220;efficient&#8221; ways to &#8220;minimize the time spent unmasked and in close proximity.&#8221; To that end, Nguyen outlined some tips for staying &#8220;safe&#8221; in the dining hall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Follow the \u2018Quick Sip Rule,\u2019&#8221; the email told members of the Ivy League university, whose alumni include eight U.S. presidents and Xi Jinping\u2019s daughter. &#8220;Lower your mask, take a sip, and then promptly cover your mouth and nose. A straw can make this more efficient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s future elites were also discouraged from socializing over coffee. &#8220;If you wish to slowly savor a hot beverage, do it away from others,&#8221; Nguyen said. &#8220;If you are taking your time between bites (for conversation, for example), put your mask back on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Harvard, which did not respond to a request for comment, has a 94 percent vaccination rate among its students. As of this week, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harvard.edu\/coronavirus\/testing-tracing\/harvard-university-wide-covid-19-testing-dashboard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.harvard.edu\/coronavirus\/testing-tracing\/harvard-university-wide-covid-19-testing-dashboard\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1631387641364000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGfUhYbji69CywLC1Ij512ABXe4mw\">test positivity rate<\/a> is 0.18 percent.<\/p>\n<p>One hallowed Harvard tradition may not survive the new guidance: networking. The email told students to &#8220;avoid table-hopping&#8221; and &#8220;consider dining consistently with the same small group of people rather than a different group at every meal of the day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Campus &#8216;A straw can make this more efficient,&#8217; Ivy League school says  Harvard University \/ Twitter screenshot  Aaron Sibarium \u2022 September 10, 2021 3:35 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-738438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
