They do so not merely to criticize other living arrangements, but to highlight the traditional lifestyle’s advantages...

Senior Caitlin Clifford finished 29th to round out the top five and give Harvard its best ever finish at the Meet of Champions. While the Crimson youth clearly had a hand in the team’s win, Harvard coach Jason Saretsky also gave credit to the seniors, who provided a key veteran presence. “I’m pleased with how the team performed,” Saretsky said. “We had a number of upperclassmen out there...
