Hannah L. Choi, chair of the IOP's student advisory committee, said she estimated that between 1,000 and 1,500 people were in attendance at any given moment.
"HYPE went extremely well," Choi said.
But several other observers said they thought the crowd comprised about half that amount.
(The Harvard University Police Department was not able to provide their estimate as of last night.)
Students less interested in the speeches found ample diversion in the Moonwalk and inflated obstacle course. The most celebrated attraction of HYPE, however, was They Might Be Giants.
The New York band quickly stirred up the previously sedate audience.
The band performed a concert of songs, including the popular tracks from their most recent album Flood. They crooned old favorites like "Istanbul Was Once Constantinople", "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and "Particle Man."
The variety of attractions drew a motley crowd.
