Use the geometry package for this sort of thing.

For your specific example:

\usepackage[hmargin=2cm, vmargin=1cm, includeheadfoot]{geometry}

Since it involves copying a file that is on MIT's local distributed 
computing system (athena) to your folder on that same local system, 
it truly will only work at MIT.  The "only at MIT" reference is about 
how to get the file, not how the LaTeX package itself works...
