...guys that we worry about, and we couldn’t do much with them all day,” Walsh said. “We just tried to get the other guys out.” Harvard had a fair amount of success early against Dartmouth lefty ace Russell Young, who allowed a scattered six hits and three runs over a seven-inning, complete game effort. O’Neill accounted for all of the Crimson’s offense, shooting nearly-identical doubles down the left field line in both the second and fourth innings. But Harvard went...
...left that scored freshman Ellen Macadam from third. Dartmouth made a last surge for the win, trailing 5-2 in the bottom of the seventh. With Madick pitching, Dartmouth put runners on first and second. Then Madick hit a batter to load the bases with only one out. The ace showed her trademark poise, however, and got the final two batters to strike out looking. “I could feel myself getting a little tense and I tried to breathe through it,” Madick said. “It was sort of good that they got some...

In his 2001 film How High, Clan member Method Man smokes marijuana fertilized by the ashes of his dead friend in order to ace his entrance exam and score admission to Harvard College, setting an excellent example for prospective applicants everywhere. Wu-Tang lyrics are filled with culturally astute allusions, perfect for Harvard eggheads (i.e., “Socrates’ philosophies and hypotheses / Can’t define how I be droppin’ these mockeries”). Other verses address issues salient to Harvard students, like the Mather residents...
