As the squad was the fastest during the day, losing to Yale by only two seconds, questions remained for the Black and White on how to improve next week and, ultimately, at the Eastern Sprints and NCAA...

For Smuts, each tessera is important in its individuality, and its contrast to the whole.The time and care taken by the artists of each tile is evident. Yet, “I don’t entirely understand the appeal of the project,” admits Smuts. “Why would someone spend hours and hours on this work, and then...
