...students are in a curious position. They are recruited into specialized programs, and receive specialized degrees. Yet a poll taken last year indicated that about 85 per cent of them are strongly opposed to a split. The interdisciplinary setup is "mercly icing on the cake-but it's really nice icing," said Gregg Thomson, a member of DeVore's committee who had helped coordinate the poll.

Harvard had already clinched the Ivy League title before today's game, but it's always nice to beat Yale. The Crimson will play again on Monday, at home against Brown, in the second round of the NCAA regional tournament. Harvard beat Brown last weekend, but the Bruin should be tough on Monday...
