She horrified parents, who feared their daughters might develop "unsightly muscles," by introducing athletics. First Rosemary sport was cricket, but Rosemarians could find no worthy opponents, took up basketball, track and field hockey instead. Now they play Yale freshman teams at hockey, once beat them...
