Hmm must be the last (leave it to Harvard to persist in the persist in the pretence I guess) but fwiw this is the entirety of the task: >Students may request to substitute the Italian language exam if it is relevant to their area of mathematics Which is far far short of "learn a language". But these requirements were always like this (a pretentious formality completely insignificant in comparison to the actual research and course work).
