Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who sign up for the study online will receive $50 for writing a 90-minute essay and filling out a brief self-evaluation questionnaire.

The only thing that really didn’t go our way was the outcome.”Harvard’s starting defense on Saturday was entirely composed of freshmen and sophomores, which may help to explain some of the miscommunication and minor positioning errors the squad experienced. “They’re a really good group athletically, but they’re struggling with lack of leadership,” Anderson said.Stenmark and Duboe added two goals each to go along with Mahler?...
