Yet the sight of hundreds of impassioned first-year Harvardians clashing and writhing about the snow-packed ground with reckless abandon, was not just an example of the old run-of-the-mill Veritas spirit.

Startled by my reckless spending, he said, "Wait a minute, I'm not out to make a profit or anything. Take 'em for $45." After giving him the money, a friend said, "See? No one's here to make money. They just want to make sure everyone gets in!" Dumb-founded I took the ticket, and we headed...
