...recent years, Harvard has enacted stringent measures to prevent underage drinking and the sort of dangerous excess that unfortunately has characterized collegiate antics of our generation. But, in banishing wine seminars and mandating BAT teams at House formals, the administration has only encouraged that any actual drinking be furtive and irresponsible. Today, conditioned by the Puritanism of university administrators and society’s moralists to see drinking as an evil—although permissible under certain circumstances—college students expectedly will treat it as such. Intoxication promises an easy high, a cover for actions that otherwise would...

The Crimson’s production at the plate—which was virtually nonexistent during certain stretches last season—appears to be in top form, and a few isolated meltdowns overshadowed promising outings by several Harvard pitchers this weekend.After the team’s bats struggled to shake off the cobwebs in Game 1 on Friday against the Gamecocks—a 4-1 loss, and the Crimson’s first live action outdoors this year—the Harvard offense came alive to string together 26 runs in the final three contests...

O’Hara and Albright also posted solid averages last season, but will be expected to drive the ball more this year as well. With...
...fifth season of athletic eligibility meant that Stack-Babich had to spend the fall away from Harvard and his teammates. After spending that time working at a hedge fund, cooking his own meals, and trying out that whole yoga thing, he’s happy to be swinging the bat again—something he didn’t do for the first time in rehabilitation until late October. What’s more, he’s making up for time lost with his new teammates by becoming a mentor to Harvard’s up-and-comers...
