Were these animals supposedly the ones headed for the spit - sort of like the ones the Greek Orthodox Church on Mass Ave in Arlington center used to put out front when they were fixing for their annual celebration?

Were they planning to make good use of a nearby overheated manhole?

Confused former Dunster House resident chiming in here. I don't know what's up with the sheep. But yes, there's an annual goat roast that was scheduled for Saturday; that should explain the dead goat "found" (i.e., located) on the premises.

Call me nit-picky, but the background provided is equally screwy: Eliot House is unrelated, a couple blocks away, unless there was another sheep there. And Dunster isn't one of the oldest dorms anyway; those date to the 1700s. Rather, it was one of the first among the group built in the 1930s.

This is worse than the story out of Miami where they filled a college swimming pool with roadkill...

"How do you separate a Harvard student from a sheep?"

Spray cold water on the student?
