...Crimson stickmen opened the season against Hofstra last Monday, but lacked scoring punch in a 5-1 victory over the Dutchmen. Facing an unfamiliar zone defense, the varsity picked up four of its five goals in the last two quarters of the low-scoring contest. Converted attackman Tink Gunnoe's goal and two assists along with the clearing and passing of captain Al Straus on defense made the Crimson's 1963 debut a successful...
...often had New Yorkers been fooled by false armistices that they were unable to believe the strike had ended until the now-unfamiliar dailies were there on the newsstands.

Foreigners who have become accustomed to specialization and even academic tenure in their native countries find Harvard's graduate courses insulting and sometimes puerile. With so much emphasis on courses, exams, and papers, the students have less time to gain academic contacts. Although they admit that they learn more here than abroad, they regard such methods of teaching as suitable for a high school, not graduate study...
