...junior captain, fully recovered from the hand and knee injuries that sidelined him for three games in the second half of the 2003 campaign, returned to the helm of Harvard’s offense at the beginning of spring practice to find a number of familiar faces conspicuously absent from his receiving corps. Both Brian Edwards and Rodney Byrnes, the Crimson’s top receivers just one season ago with 47 and 33 catches, respectively, will miss off-season workouts completely after leaving the College...
...then raced desperately across the campus to be in time for morning provers will sound as unreal as tales from ancient history. Compulsory church attendance on Sunday is also a thing of the past.

While other student groups have capitalized on dining hall advertising and e-mail to drum up support, similar efforts to draw attention to sports have been absent, in effect conceding the overwhelming majority of the student body to other activities simply because they exist. But Penn, for instance, draws sizeable crowds to its athletic events, including an ad hoc campground which crops up outside the ticket window before basketball tickets go on sale. This flurry of spirit...
