Despite the remaining element of uncertainty. Cornell must be given a slight edge on Saturday. The fanatical upper-New York State fans that stand in line at four a.m. in sub-zero weather to buy tickets will not be friendly, and there are easier teams to break out of a slump against than Cornell...
...implications of the Sub-committee's action are indeed unsettling. First of all, Harvard is saying that learning takes place only within the classroom. The Dean of Students' self-acknowledged "crackdown" on the independent study program and the FAS's continued refusal to offer course credit for field work discourages student initiative, stifles imagination and blatantly manifests Harvard's intellectual elitism.
