...PHIL MICKELSON, 33, the Masters, his first victory in any of golf's four major tournaments, after 47 tries; in Augusta, Ga. One year after his worst season, he acquired a new swing and a slimmer physique and, with a dramatic birdie putt on the 18th hole, won the coveted green blazer...

His membership in Augusta National Golf Club, along with Harvard Senior Fellow James R. Houghton ’58 and Harvard Management Corporation Director Robert G. Stone Jr. ’45, makes a mockery of Harvard’s standard of non-discrimination. If membership in a discriminatory club is more important to these individuals than the image and reputation of Harvard University, all should resign...
