...Cornell beat us, 9-3, on October 9 in a heavy rain that turned the Harvard stadium field into a quagmire. We called it a fluke and we shook it off, but they beat us nevertheless--we didn't do the job. This year, Cornell, led by new coach Bob Blackman, the famous ogre from Dartmouth, will be looking to thump us once again. But this time we'll be ready...
...critics and that to quit would be to abandon the principle that the mere leveling of charges should not force a man out of office. He wanted a chance to state his defense fully. LaBelle, who sat through all the discussions, was more vehement: Bert should not resign.

The Court should not impinge on the flexibility of schools desiring a varied class make-up. Nevertheless, the use of race as a factor in admissions circumvents what should be the true intent of affirmative action programs: helping disadvantaged individuals overcome environmental liabilities.
