...Students in pass/fail classes should be allowed to switch back to letter-grading until near the end of the semesters, as is done at Columbia, where students have until the ninth week to decide. The current deadline for changing grading at Harvard is the fifth Monday, at which point students still have little idea how they well are likely to do. So students who have chosen to take a class pass/fail for “insurance” are then forced to take the “pass” on their transcript, regardless of how well they...

Before the close of the fall season, Harvard made one last tournament appearance at the Don Mershon Classic, finishing fifth out of eight...

The co-ed team finished seventh in November’s ACC Championship, while the women placed ninth. The highlight of the fall came from individual efforts, as Kovacs and Watson each qualified for the Singlehanded National Championships. Kovacs recorded his second consecutive fourth-place finish, and Watson was ninth on the women’s side. Kovacs was the winner of the New England Singlehanded Championship, while...
