...covered institution would be willing to part with some of its female undergraduates to even out the gender ratio a little further down Mem Drive. MIT men would undoubtedly be thrilled—and Harvard girls have a better shot at some female-dominated social space over there (although they might miss shivering outside of final clubs as “gentlemen” give them the up-down). Overall, a win-win situation for all involved...
...Although Harvard administrators would have probably declined to comment had we bothered to contact them, we feel confident that the University would graciously share some of its sports prowess, athleticism, and surplus “bro” culture with our neighbors down the way.

The game of football and its players have evolved to such a stage of speed and strength that physicists calculate that an average-sized player can deliver over 1600 pounds of force in a single tackle. This is not a game that...
