...that Holy Cross were a mockery team of snow, standing before the sun of fair Harvard, to melt itself away in water-drops! Good Crimson, great Crimson, and yet not greatly good, and if its ability be sterling yet in Division I-AA, let it command an upset hither straight, that it may show Harvard what pride it has since it is bankrupt of the Ivy lead...

...house in the eastern part of the Yard, they made living there a burden. "The College Yard was a great scene for demonstrations and marches. Practically every day there was a march in the Yard; almost any day you would find a group of students marching up and down, hither and yon.

...evening's only resuscitative presence is Claudette Colbert. At 78, she seems to have discovered the elixir of agelessness. Her looks are unflawed and her low come-hither voice purrs with enchantment. The precision of Colbert's timing would make a watch blush.
