First, as Daniel Steiner '54, University counsel, argues, reneging on the Engelhard contract ex post facto would not only "impugn the good motives of the Engelhard Foundation," but would be poor "donor relations."

...game is over. The train ride back to Harvard square will show the mettle of the fans from the two schools. Loud and vicious insults are a must for this occasion, especially if Harvard wins. In that case, you can taunt the Terrier fans because their team lost and impugn their intelligence...
