...have conquered but to have fought well.” How far we have progressed, in this age of medal tallies, doped-up athletes, and corrupt judges. Coubertin’s dream, conceived more than a century ago, was twofold: that the Games would encourage the youth of the world to compete in sports, rather than fight in war, and that the Games would bring the nations of the world closer together, to achieve a greater mutual understanding.

In the final game at Lavietes Pavillion for the Harvard women’s basketball Class of 2006, Princeton used an 18-0 run in the first half to pull away early and coast to a 69-57 win on Saturday night. In what has been a season-long trend for the Crimson, Harvard (10-14, 6-5 Ivy) fell behind early in the first half against the Tigers (18-6, 9-2) and never recovered...
