His last line is composed of not words but an unforgettable, goose-bump-producing, maniacal laugh. Hear it once, and you won't forget. Terry Lorbiecki, Milwaukee...
...Cornell did—the Crimson has often struggled to score. Cornell followed up Katherine Simmons’ game-opening goal with quick scores from Margaux Viola and Kathryn Dewey. Harvard got on the board with a score from junior attack Kaitlin Martin, who notched a hat trick to bump her team-leading goal total to 38.

The only clue to the sheer speed is the tunnel lights outside: Standing 40 feet apart, they seem to stretch and blend until they appear as a single white stripe...
...until college students en masse decide to just say no to facebook, I’ll continue to advertise my love for Blue Oyster Cult and figure out how to bump into the love of my life (perhaps right after he finishes “Morality and Taboo”) and strike up a conversation about Bob Dylan, beach volleyball, or “Seinfeld...
