...adverse effect upon Harvard faculty members it would have to be of their own choosing. If at all, ill effects would seem most likely to stem from the disappointment and chagrin faculty members might feel when impressionable, idealistic young Americans within their sphere of influence are observed to throw away their citizenship and ruin their lives by fleeing the country to avoid the draft. Harvard suffered some very bad national publicity--completely unwarranted and undeserved in my judgment--a few months ago when it was made to appear that a majority of Harvard men would take the draft laws into...
...college?recently held a sit-in at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass., a Jewish leader in the area suggested that "Brandeis should be made Schwarzenrein [free of blacks] the way Hitler made Germany Judenrein. One member of the school's board shouted that "we should go down there and throw the blacks out."

Gustavson missed a short shot, but Johnson came from nowhere to guide the rebound into the basket...
Dartmouth worked the ball to pickering--a 6-3 bulldozer. He went up toward the basket and the shot ran into Hardy's out-stretched hands. In a quick reflex, the Harvard junior controlled the ball. Another foul, but Johnson missed the free-throw. In the scramble that followed, Hardy picked the ball off the floor and layed it in the basket with five seconds to go to clinch the game. For good measure, he blocked the last desperation Dartmouth shot--a dangerous move...
