Harvard (29-20, 10-0 Ivy) will travel to Hanover with the title of Ivy League champion and a No. 4 ranking in the NCAA Division I Northeast Region. After its twin bill against the Big Green (10-26-1, 3-7), the Crimson will return to Cambridge and await the winner of the Patriot League tournament, which Harvard will host for a best-of-three play-in series...
Linden (1-0, 3.60 ERA) was scheduled to start against the Minutemen--New England's top-ranked team--and was primed to help the Crimson (21-9, 9-3 Ivy) secure Beantown bragging rights for the first time since 1991.

Robinson was elected in 1990 as Ireland's first female head of state, and exercised progressive leadership in that country for seven years. She addressed controversial issues others had avoided--poverty, women's rights and racism. She is known as both an intellectual politician and an eloquent and engaging speaker. She even has an L.L.M.degree from Harvard. Interesting, important, inspirational--Robinson is indeed an excellent choice to address the graduating senior class...
