...really been struggling in the Ivy League, so they were really pumped.” It had been four years since the Lions (7-6, 1-5 Ivy League) defeated the Crimson (4-10, 1-5) in Cambridge, and both teams opened the game in a defensive mindset, not wanting to concede anything en route to a 4-4 halftime deadlock. Harvard opened the scoring when Flood found freshman Katie Doherty who sent one through the pipes 3:25 into play. Columbia rebounded less than a minute later to tie the game at 1-1.

But these cuts damage our technological hedge against potential “peer” enemies by judging that, because our current wars have no technological enemies, our future wars won’t either. While unlikely, a peer war is not impossible...
...work, so I decided to go ahead and try to fulfill my dreams.” Sullivan said she is entering the private sector after graduation, but that she hopes to return to government work in the future. She stressed the importance of maintaining a public service mindset even in the business world. “If there is one thing that my classmates and I have been discussing here, it’s, ‘Oh my gosh, we really need ethical leadership in the private sector,’” she said. The speakers agreed...
