More than a century later, the Class of 2005 provided its long-departed brethren with a performance in every way equal to the Class of 1902’s, establishing themselves as Harvard’s most successful team in the modern...

These titles, however, were all earned at a great expenditure of hard work and dedication, and are generally only given the barest of recognition in this paper’s sports page or on the athletic department’s website. For the record, the Harvard teams that won Ivy League Titles...
