Heading to the locker room after the first period, the Harvard women’s hockey could have easily found a lot of positives despite being outshot 17 to six at Appleton Arena in Canton, N.Y. The score was tied 1-1 at the first break, and senior goaltender Ali Boe looked to be on her game in net for the Crimson. With the momentum of staying in the game against the No. 2 St. Lawrence squad, Harvard (17-12-4) made its most important mark of the season and downed the Saints (30-4-2) by a final...

...some at universities across the country have called for the University to single out Israel among all nations as the lone country where it is inappropriate for any part of the University’s endowment to be invested,” Summers said at morning prayers in Appleton Chapel. “I hasten to say the University has categorically rejected this suggestion.” His suggestion that divestment from Israel would be “anti-Semitic in effect, if not in intent” made waves scarcely a year into his presidency.
