However, it should be noted that his involvement in the discussion—beyond his distribution of flyers at the meetings and his multiple Crimson articles—arose from an uneven application of the rules.

Although the Crimson held a 36-27 advantage in shots on goal, the team simply failed to find the back of the net in a 7-2 blowout loss to the Eagles. “That could have been one of the worst beatings...
...This revolution in financial aid is wonderful news for students and their families. It is exactly what we hoped for when, under the leadership of President Drew Faust and Dean Michael Smith, Harvard decided last Dec. to reduce the cost of attendance by a third to a half. It is vital as a matter of public policy that qualified students throughout the nation and the world can aspire to any college, regardless of economic background.
