When asked about the wacky goings on in the field, Michael S. Bush '99 of Cabot, cites "a lot of streaking," adding "well, maybe that's just me and my roommates." Maybe. But in any case, lore surrounding co-ed naked late-night carousing on the Quad abounds. And while sprinting around in the buck is a cross-seasonal antic, snow football and sprinkler-enhanced lawn sliding are among Quadlings' beloved and more climate-dependent activities. According to Bush, the Quad field has also served as the stomping ground for toga-sporting pre-partiers performing Animal House-esque chants...
Though sibling rivalry is an age-old obsession, surprisingly few formal studies have probed the psychological impact of conflict between brothers and sisters; nor have they examined how parents arbitrate those disputes. Popular lore often has it that it's best for siblings to sort it out themselves. A study published this month in Developmental Psychology found that most parents tend to follow that policy, but not because they think it's most effective.

Thanks to Houghton librarian Susan Halpert, a woman well-acquainted with the anomalies of the literary world, FM presents the biggest book: an 1856 depiction of the coronation of Tsar Alexander II is, in fact, Houghton's biggest book...
While supertech subs were once an integral part of a cold war blueprint that included deadly superpower showdowns on the high seas, few planners can describe a credible scenario in which that kind of naval engagement would now take place. For all their gritty romantic lore, the days of battleships and cruisers slugging it out as submarines stealthily lurked below the surface have gone the way of Admiral Chester Nimitz. But many in the American submarine community continue to believe--or at least to argue--that a massive undersea force is still an essential part of American security...
