...sporting scene at Harvard in 1962 included numerous events and incidents not directly related to competitive play. Last Spring former CRIMSON managing editor Mike Lottmann raised questions both at Harvard and around the League with an article stating Harvard's recruiting tactics were not quite as casual as claimed. Tennis coach Jack Barnaby wrote an angry reply, but some of Lottman's points remained unscathed. Alumni do search for talented athletes, and coaches do meet them, either at Harvard clubs or on specially arranged visits.

Anybody who ever sat down to a piano lesson has tinkled through Clair de Lune, and since the great Toscanini performances of the 1930s, it has been almost impossible to get through a concert season without at least one rendering of that virtuoso war horse La Mer.
