...swim test is no longer in force, Harvard ought not consign itself indefinitely to an educational regime that administers only to the mind. For Harvard to produce once again well-rounded individuals, of strong character as well as strong minds, it would do well to revert to an older conception of moral education—of which the discipline, endurance, and sportsmanship provided by required physical exercise is a crucial component...

Last year’s talented freshmen and sophomores are a year older and wiser, and Leone recruited a solid crop of rookies—highlighted by early scoring leader Melanie Baskind (three goals, two assists)—to complement the core already in place. Old standbys Erin Wylie (two goals) and Katherine Sheeleigh (one goal, two assists) give the Crimson a dangerous trifecta...
