Trustees of THE HARVARD LAMPOON
LETTER FROM IBIS February 2017Dear Late Lamenteds,
Determined as ever in our countercultural ways, the Lampoon enjoyed a year of political prosperity and optimistic transfer of power. Indeed, we would like to dedicate this Annual Report to your education in all the ways Lampy is becoming accountable, profitable, and downright respectable these days (in funds only). The undergraduates kept busy and popular in 2016. For more on celebrity goss, [published] issues, and the new regime, see the Letter from the Prexy. We are lucky to have this report from immensely well-liked and literary outgoing president Mark V. Steinbach ’17. Mark is too humble to mention that their cohort adopted 8 new members this fall: 6 for Literature and 2 for Business. All were male, but I’m sure they have their redeeming qualities. Should any LL wish to contribute art, incidentally, the Lampoon is soliciting.
Past staff efforts were available for admiration in this summer’s exhibit at Pusey Library: “Remorseless Irony and Sarcastic Pens: The Story of the Harvard Lampoon.” This excellent summer display of Lampy’s history in our 140th continuous

year somehow featured “original and digitally-reproduced manuscripts, sketches, scrapbooks, clippings, minute books, magazines, posters, parodies, and other materials that comprise a small selection of the archives.” Many of us were frankly shocked at the creative content generated by staffers prior to our own time. Who knew?
The exhibit concluded with a star-studded “Hooey for Hollywood” panel in the Harvard Science Center, featuring such studded stars as Robert Carlock ’95, Josh Lieb ’94, Mike Reiss ’81, Greg Daniels ’85, John Aboud ’95, and Michael Colton ’97, and their thoughts on joining the biz out of Harvard. They were moderated as usual by Ted Widmer ’84 and heckled constructively from the audience by Maiya Williams ’84, Lawrence O’Donnell ’74, and Michael Frith ’63. More luminaries reappeared in October at the book launch of The Best of the Harvard Lampoon: 140 Years of American Humor at the Symphony Space in New York City. Contributors Kurt Andersen ’76, Paul Simms ’87, Patty Marx ’75 and, Jonathan Adler ’12 read from their works, and four professional actors/comedians (best known of them Wyatt Cenac; or perhaps it was Alysia Reiner, Natalie “Fig” Figueroa in Orange Is the New Black) read or enacted pieces from the book. We will have the recording of the event for our Oral History, but in the meantime, read the damn book.
We commend outgoing Ibis Rachel J. Stromberg ’17 for assembling the anthology (published by Simon & Schuster), especially

as the undergraduates’ engrossment in Lampoon back issues in the Bizzy allowed a team of skilled contractors to infiltrate and demolish the basement. Kurt Andersen reports here on the exciting developments currently rechristening the Lower Starr.All these ventures were enabled and sped along by your generous donations to the Capital Campaign and the Annual Appeal, so, Thank You. We’ve taken excruciating care in counting each penny toward those efforts and showing you just where they’re heading. We urge you to continue your support; if not for new members, then at least for the old (um, former). Surely the new Ted Phillips memorial bar in Hearst Hall is a gift to all.
Change continues within our ranks even as Trustees. It occurred to the honorable S. Eric Rayman ’73 five years ago that the Board of Trustees should have term limits; and having implemented them, professionalized the Board, and diversified its membership in the interim, he now moves off the Board and on to life. We welcome Bob Neer ’86 as a Trustee and incoming Treasurer of the Board.
Got more news to report? Write your mother sometime. We’ll be waiting by the mailbox.
In Lampy We Trust, and straight into the Trust may it go,

LETTER FROM THE PREXY
Mark V. Steinbach ’17
Although 2016 might have been a stressful year for the world, spirits remained high at 44 Bow Street.
This was a wildly productive year for staff. We told over 1000 jokes, published three parodies (of the Harvard Crimson, The Harvard Course Catalog, and the Harvard-Yale Game program), and published five issues this year, only one of which we were asked to destroy.
It was also a busy summer for Ma Lampy. Several staff members took part in a sketch comedy project with a fancy studio in LA. We also completed the anthology project, which hit store shelves in November. Then, not satisfied, we completed the new Red Book, which will hopefully never hit store shelves. Still not satisfied, we wrapped up the digitization project. We are still not satisfied but have run out of viable projects.
As a reward for our summer productivity, an incredibly friendly LL Cool J stopped by the Castle. Keeping with the musician theme, the fall saw visits from Mike Love of the Beach Boys, Mitski, and Frankie Cosmos — carefully scheduled in descending order of name recognition.
They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Due to our tenuous relationship with President Donald Trump, it therefore made sense to invite Jeb Bush to the Castle — so we did, and he actually came. He was calm, boring, and ultimately fine.
Things are constantly evolving at the Lampoon. Over the past year, we have welcomed 16 new members to
7.
staff and like 15 of them. And, much like the United States of America, the Lampoon is currently shifting power, though with much less controversy. Alice Ju will be assuming the role of Prexy, with Alex Cohen, Ava Violich, and Camille Jacobson (all ’18) rounding out the stellar new executive board. We also elected a new Nave!
On behalf of all of us in Cambridge, we wish you good humor.

The 2016-17 staff projects struck Lampy’s sacred balance of au courant and hopelessly self-absorbed. Next, outgoing Ibis Rachel Stromberg ’17 recaps the making of the fall’s anthology, while incoming Prexy
Alice Ju ’18 here describes the inaugural January adventures of the new board:
AN INAUGURAL PARODY FOR 2017
Over the winter break, staff put together a parody of the Presidential Inauguration Program. We drove down to Washington, D.C., and sold the programs during the Inauguration, which resulted in vocal displeasure and delight alike from its recipients. We also posted the program on the parody website www.trumpinauguration2017.org, which thus far has seen about 20,000 views. The cost of the project was fully covered through a small fundraising effort, and due to a combination of negotiating distribution deals with bookstores and swindling gentle attendees out of their hard-earned cash, we managed to make the parody profitable.

Here is an exclusive interview that I conducted with myself on the making of our latest anthology, available now in a bookstore near you! -Rachel J. Stromberg ’17, Ibis
RJS: This anthology has been in the making for several years. What did the process of creating it entail? RJS: Several months alone in the Narthex, waist-deep in disintegrating bound volumes! (Frantic laughter.) So, first we sent several batches of pieces from each decade to our editor at Touchstone. Then, eventually, we culled those down to the 200 or so that are in the anthology. Once the pieces were selected, I went back through the bound volumes of issues and found each one, then took each volume to the Fine Arts Library to scan the piece, along with any art. Then, I sent those files--
RJS: Huh, sounds long. RJS: Sure was!
RJS: (Frantic laughter.)RJS: (Frantic laughter.)
RJS: Having looked through all those old issues, how would you say the Lampoon’s humor has changed over the years?RJS: Well, I’d say that generally, it got funnier, then less funny, then funnier again, then way less funny, then slightly funnier. But really, I’ll know once I read the pieces.
RJS: I hear the Lampoon recently finished digitizing its entire archive into a searchable database. Was this process finished in time to help with the anthology?RJS: No.
RJS: Is there a Pulitzer in humor? RJS: There will be now.

A BULLETIN FROM THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
Kurt B. Andersen ’76, Chair of the Building
Committee
The renovation of the basement — the
most substantial new construction inside the
Castle since the Narthex was built, half a
century ago — is underway and due to finish
by May. The new central area is specifically
designed for work of all Lampoon kinds to take
place, with space and comfortable built-in
seating for brainstorming and planning by a few
or a whole lot of members at once. We will have
four large desks for writing and drawing and
editing (and, presumably, number-crunching);
new chairs; new lighting; new Wi-Fi via (no
joke) our own newly dug private conduit; the
whole shebang.
And all with a whimsical-but-elegant new
classical-arched-crypt-like effect and a pair
of extraordinary new Castle-tower-shaped lamps
that should make it all seem as if it has been
there since 1909. The room, built thanks to the
unending generosity of William Randolph Hearst
III ‘72, needs a name. Suggestions welcome.
13.
XV.
The Plympton Street end of the basement,
directly under the Starr Chamber (formerly the
Starr Bookshop), is being transformed as well.
On the Mt. Auburn Street side, new storage
rooms (one for an air conditioning system
that will make the otherwise stifling basement
habitable in the warmer months for wussified
21st-century undergrads); and a lovely new
tiled corridor. The fire and smoke alarm system,
its guts in the basement, will see a radical
upgrade.
The Elmer Room has become the Elmer Green
Memorial Screening Room, with a large flat
screen that lowers and rises impressively by
means of a modern electrical motor, served (for
the first time ever in the Castle) by cable TV.
New comfortable seating is envisioned.
The Blot Room, its design and construction
overseen 41 years ago by George Rohr ’76
and Kurt Andersen ’76 but now rendered
moot by the giant new work room, has been
cruelly demolished. Plans are afoot to
install it with a subterranean miniature
Narthex-cum-Wunderkammer.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Margaret H. Child ’78 and Lisa M. Henson ’82, Co-Chairs of the Lampoon Capital Campaign.
Since 2000, Lampoon alumni have contributed over $6 million to the Capital Campaign. This influx of capital has enabled us to renovate and restore the Castle, significantly grow our endowment, and invest in alumni outreach and engagement—all critical to our future.
This year marked the beginning of a new tradition in giving to Ma Lampy. Mike Reiss ’81 came up with the idea to honor his friend and classmate, Ted Phillips, by raising $100,000 to dedicate the 17th-century Flemish-style white oak bar in Hearst Hall in Ted’s honor. The idea for a Ted Phillips memorial fund received an enthusiastic response from 37 alumni, friends, and family members of Ted’s, who together raised the intended goal.
As we write, the bar in Hearst Hall is being refinished and the bottles of alcohol within (briefly) removed so that we may carve and gild an inscription in Ted’s honor:
TED PHILLIPS’ CABINET OF WONDERS
When asked about Ted Phillips, Mike Reiss said this:
Ted was a Falstaffian Lampoon member who put his genius into his life instead of his art. Accordingly, the Lampoon’s liquor cabinet will be named for him, with the promise that it will always be filled with booze, as Mr. Phillips was.
Reaching the goal took less than three months, with contributions coming from Phillips’s family and friends, including many non-Lampooners. Reiss encourages other staff members to memorialize their friends with weirdly appropriate gifts.

MANY CLEVER WRITERS and draughtsmen have since served in the Jester’s Sanctum. He still lives, and so confident is he of a long career that he is to build himself a house on “The Gold Coast,” where he can gather about him his Penates, and provide suitable quarters for the Ibis. The old Lampooners hope that those who are to follow them may have as happy memories as theirs of the days and nights spent in Lampy’s services, and they rest content with the thought that a columbarium may be provided in the Jester’s House. --Founder and Architect of the Castle Edmund March Wheelwright 1876. From Lampy’s Early Days, 1909
IN MEMORIAM
Ma Lampy announces with further regret the passing of two more dear
sons, Michael Madden ’76 and Kevin Curran ’79.
We thank Mike, who contributed beyond Lampoon to the
good of the whole state we’re in. A Massachusetts native, he headed
up the addiction treatment center NUVA in Gloucester, helped form
the North Shore Health Project, and pushed for equitable treatment of
AIDS patients in his own health insurance firm. He provided years of
amusement and delight to patrons of Harvard Square’s Casablanca as
the club’s owner.
John Bowman ’80 had the following to say of distinguished LL
Kevin Curran:
All Lampy tributes can and rightly ought to be submitted to
[email protected] for future publication.19.
We’re sorry to announce the passing of late and lamented
Kevin Patrick Curran ’79 on October 25, 2016. Kevin wrote
for the National Lampoon right after college. He next wrote
for Late Night with David Letterman, for which he won three
Emmys. He wrote Letterman’s first “Top Ten List,”
“The Top 10 Things That Almost Rhyme With Peas.” In 1989,
he joined “Married…with Children,” and, in 2000, he joined
The Simpsons, where he was a Co-Executive Producer. At The
Simpsons, Curran won three additional Emmys and was
nominated in 2010 for a Humanitas Prize for his episode
“The Greatest Story Ever D’ohed”.
Tom Gammill ’79, John Brancato ’80, Dan Greaney ’86, and
John Bowman ’80 all spoke at his funeral in Los Angeles
on Sunday, November 6, 2016. Kevin was buried at the
Hollywood Forever cemetery, in a plot between Mr. Blackwell
and Dee Dee Ramone. He will be sorely missed.
HAIL AND FAREWELL
Margaret H. Child ’78 and Edward L. Widmer ’84
It is with regret, gratitude, and dawning desperation that we
announce the retirement of S. Eric Rayman ’73 from the Harvard
Lampoon Board of Trustees. Eric has supported the Lampoon tirelessly
since his days as undergraduate President, serving as a Trustee for over
40 years, as Chair of the Board, Treasurer of the Harvard Lampoon
Trust, Chair of the Legal Committee, and member of the Capital
Campaign and Annual Appeal Committees. From the Cosmo parody
and its iconic centerfold of Henry Kissinger to the just-published Best
of the Harvard Lampoon: 140 Years of American Humor, Eric has been
at the center of every Lampoon enterprise. Indeed, he defined Lampoon
enterprise. Eric wrote every Letter from Ibis and the Annual Report. He
also spearheaded term limits for Lampoon Trustees (including his own)
and ushered in a new generation to lead the organization.
On January 1, 2017, Eric became the tenth member of the
Harvard Lampoon Graduate Review Board, where he will remain
available for legal and creative consultation at a competitive rate.
Concurrently, we welcomed Bob Neer ’86 as a Trustee and
Treasurer of the Lampoon Trust. Bob joined the Board of Trustees
this past fall, and his background and experience in business, law,
history, politics, and education are already proving transformational to
the daily operations of the Lampoon. As a resident of Cambridge within
a ten-minute walk from the Castle, Bob has ascended rapidly to the top
of the call list for Castle fire emergencies. Please join us in extending a
five-alarm welcome to Bob!

FINANCIAL REPORT
Flux and change have only disciplined and directed Lampy’s management of funds.
In the interest of transparency, we herein leak the private inklings of Tom Beale ’71,
Chair of the Investment Committee, and Bob Neer ’86, Treasurer of The Harvard Lampoon Trust.
We close with a boast or two on everyone’s behalf about the Annual Appeal.
Verily, the rumors are true: Lampy may be entering something of a “golden age.”
THE ENDOWMENT
Thomas W. Beale ’71
At the end of 2015, the unrestricted endowment stood at $3.27
million. In 2016, net total distributions for the Trust and undergraduate
operations reduced the endowment by $114,500, but a healthy 7.7%
annual return from our investments brought the year-end value back up
to $3.4 million. Over the course of the year, the net asset value of the
endowment was also affected by its annual distribution to cover Trust
and Inc. operating expenses (approximately 5% of the endowment) and
by net inflows of new Capital Campaign gifts. In addition, continuing
restricted contributions to the Castle Preservation Fund — created in
2014 for the repair and maintenance of the Castle and long-term capital
improvements — increased its asset level to $49,038 at the start of 2017.
Oversight of the Endowment and its investments continues in the
hands of our experienced Investment Committee: Tom Beale ’71 (Chair),
Chuck Chai ’95, James Murdoch ’96, Bob Neer ’86 (Treasurer), George
Rohr ’76, John Spooner ’59, and David Tobey ’58. Chuck Chai joined
the Committee in 2016 as our newest recruit. Chuck runs the investments
for the family office of Google’s Eric Schmidt. Based on their outside
professional lives, Committee members bring to the Lampoon in
aggregate more than 150 years of experience managing pools of
investment assets, longer than the Lampoon has been in existence.
Should there be another Panic of 1907, then Committee will know what to do.

TREASURER’S REPORT
Robert M. Neer, Jr. ‘86, Treasurer of The Harvard Lampoon Trust
Effective business administration has long been a hallmark of the
Lampoon.
In December 2016, we completed a comprehensive financial review
of The Harvard Lampoon Trust (the non-profit Trust run by the Trustees
that owns the Castle, the endowment, and our intellectual property) and
The Harvard Lampoon Inc. (the non-profit corporation and Harvard College
student organization, run by the undergraduates, that uses the Castle and
publishes the magazine). In January 2017, we adopted detailed annual budgets
for both entities. A new accounting firm, John Schacter & Associates (based in
the Back Bay), which has special expertise in creative businesses, has unified
financial reporting for both organizations. A new bookkeeper provides weekly
accounting support and maintains our accounts online, where they can be
reviewed by the Trustees at any time.
Subsidizing the operations of The Harvard Lampoon Inc. accounts for
about half of the Trust’s annual operating budget, exclusive of our investments
in the Castle and special expenses related to the Capital Campaign.
Disbursement of these funds has been restructured and regularized. Rather
than getting periodic lump-sum contributions, the Inc. now receives budgeted
subsidies for three purposes: publications, Castle expenses, and its bi-annual
Phools Week educational retreats.
Publication subsidies support production of the magazine and,
if possible, special projects like Crimson parodies. Subsidies for Castle
operations are remitted in arrears. Operating revenues from the magazine, and
individual member initiation fees and dues—billed and collected for the Inc.
by our accountants—fund all other costs. Our support allows the Treasurer to
waive or reduce initiation fees and dues for every student who needs financial
support. The bookkeeper reviews accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
the organization’s performance against budget weekly with the Treasurer,
XXV.
and updates changes online. An outside firm audits the books of the Trust and
Inc. at the end of each year.
A strong performance by the Annual Appeal and Capital Campaign
remain essential for the long-term health of the Harvard Lampoon. Our
endowment, at its current size, is a slender base on which to balance our
mock Flemish Castle, with its voracious need for mock Flemish repairs, and
continue our substantial support for magazine operations and undergraduate
use of the Castle. As we make progress on capital improvements to the
building, we will direct a progressively larger fraction of Capital Campaign
receipts toward strengthening the endowment.

THE ANNUAL APPEAL
The 2016 Annual Appeal returns, while no less annual
than the prior year’s, were just slightly less appealing. We
blame ourselves for getting a late start; elaborate WordArt
appeals did not reach many of you until late fall or early
winter. The 2017 Annual Appeal begins tomorrow. Check your
inboxes.
Donations were, nonetheless, nothing to sneeze at:
$134,757 in total. We invited the parents of graduating
seniors to donate to the Appeal for the first time this year,
and they rose to the occasion. Alumni alone contributed a
sum of $122,857. The total raised is fantastic, and we want
to commend everyone who gave, no matter what the level. We
also want to thank those of you who have become comfortable
with giving every year. Remember, you can’t have an “annual
appeal” without the word “annual.”
The trend of donation remains one of astronomical
increase over time. Parent contributors alone contributed a
sum just shy of the original 2010 Annual Appeal’s yield of
$13,955. The average donation hit a record high of $469.92
this year, due no doubt to the persuasive teamwork of this
year’s co-chairs, David Mandel ’92 and David Mandel ’92.
We also want to let all the $125-and-above donors know
that they will be getting their one-year subscription to the
magazine — but please remember that one year does NOT always
mean 5 issues.
We thank you all for your generous support. To
those who abstained this year, we urge you to reconsider
next year, if only to ensure key access to the Castle’s
forthcoming 2017 Annual Appeal Donor Basement.
