...team welcomed two or three “very good” athletes from other sports, which according to Kingston allowed the team to build momentum. Being a club sport worked in the team’s favor in other ways. They subscribed to a “work hard, play hard” philosophy, and were known for having a keg on the sidelines during games, which would not have been allowed under varsity regulations.Because they lacked the administrative funds that only varsity sports teams enjoyed, the HRFC depended on creative housing solutions for away games...
...presence felt at Harvard. In early December, President Drew G. Faust wrote an email to the Harvard community hinting at the University’s financial woes.

I graduated from college in 1963, the year that Betty Friedan fired the shot heard around the world and ignited the Feminist Movement—at least in my white, middle class, college-educated world. It is hard for students today to understand how momentous it was to read The Feminine Mystique: how staggering it was to grasp that the path I imagined when I entered college was far too limited. My subsequent path, therefore, was always built upon conflicting expectations about what women in general, and what...
