...part of me and, laughing, said, “You’ll always be a Cram”—not fully Harvard Crimson, and not fully a Fordham Ram. I remember this remark because my relation with each school has been the source of a slight split in allegiance to each, and in turn, a struggle to find my own identity in college.

The Bulldogs built a five-seat lead over the Crimson and had a slight advantage over Navy early, and the three boats jostled back and forth throughout the course.“I still think that had we raced a little better race we could have gotten second,” varsity bow-man Brian Aldrich said. “But with the way Cornell rowed...
