Harvard's third entry on the first day was Dave Brumwell in the 200-yd. individual medley. Brumwell, swimming a good race, bettered his time during the Eastern trials but failed to break the two-minute barrier, finishing...
Female Passivity. Many researchers have found greater dependence and docility in very young girls, greater autonomy and activity in boys. When a barrier is set up to separate youngsters from their mothers, boys try to knock it down; girls cry helplessly. There is little doubt that maternal encouragement -or discouragement-of such behavior plays a major role in determining adult personality.

His time also represents the second fastest time in the nation this year, with only Princeton's Curtis Haydon posting a slightly better mark...
