If you check out today’s football supplement, on the back page, you will see The Crimson’s three esteemed football beat writers all selected the home team to reclaim the Ivy title. The one dissenting voice? Yours truly. There is too much uncertainty—in the middle of the defense, on the offensive line, and behind center—for me to forecast less than two losses in good conscience...

Yale—whose endowment is the second-largest among universities, after Harvard—hasn’t released its 2006 numbers yet. But Yale’s rate of returns has consistently outpaced Harvard’s over the past two decades...
