...equally false argument with which Harvard men seek to explain their inferior marks arises from "extra-curricular activities." Some people have argued that men tend, more than women, to join undergraduate organizations. Admittedly, the 'Cliffe does not have organized sports. However, nearly all groups here are merged and in many, the U.N. Council for example, there are almost as many Cliffies as Harvard students. Radcliffe members of extra-curricular groups exert more than a proportional influence-and, a higher percentage of girls are involved in activities...
Jolted by two Eli goals in the first 48 seconds and one with 20 seconds remaining to play, the varsity sextet was tied, 5 to 5, by an inferior Yale team at New Haven's Ingalls Rink Saturday night in its last game of the season.

...second volume in the Age of Roosevelt series--The Coming of the New Deal--establishes his claims in all these departments and cements his reputation for wit and clarity of organization. Of course, it would require a particularly inferior historian to make a dull story out of material provided by the chaotic first two years of the New Deal. But Schlesinger has given new depth to the history with which he worked and has produced a book of singular power...
