Seven percent of the scientists had none, 4.6% mentioned none, the rest had definite religious affiliations...
...Harvard in a dual match. Negotiations for such a match have been in progress for several years, and last year it was planned for a combined Harvard-Yale team to compete in England, but the Yale authorities would not sanction the sending of their team. The definite dates for none of the contests have been announced, but the Harvard match will probably take place the latter part...
