He’s one of our most consistent swimmers, which is a tribute to his training.” Captain Dave Cromwell began the seven-race winning streak in the 200-meter backstroke (1:48.42), in which he defeated Cornell senior Stefano Caprara by only .06 seconds. After Cocks followed suit with a 200 breaststroke victory (2:08.81), the Crimson capitalized on its momentum to win the rest of the races and the meet. “Halfway through the meet, we realized that Cornell was beating us and that it was time to regroup...

Under Carol Fox, its late founder and general manager, Maria Callas made her American debut in a sizzling Norma, and the Lyric became home to such 1950s and '60s legends as Soprano Renata Tebaldi, Tenor Giuseppe di Stefano and Baritone Tito Gobbi.
