Flanked by House Committee members and intramural representatives, Winthrop House Master Stephen P. Rosen ’74 blazed through a packed dining hall during brunch yesterday, leading the resounding cheer of “Hail the victors of the Straus Cup”—three months before the cup will be awarded. In a parade not unlike a bridal procession, Rosen sprinkled fresh rose petals throughout the dining hall—IM aficionados boisterously cheering and chanting behind him—after having baptized their 2007 trophy with frigid water from the Charles River...
