...Student Council, and its idea was that some sort of marriage course for Radcliffe girls should be instituted in the fall term. Yale has already stopped into the twentieth century and acknowledged the existence of sex. If Radcliffe makes the same move unilaterally, Harvard will become something of a lone puritanical ostrich, with its head buried in the past. Call it "Marriage," as the Radcliffe Student Council does, or call it "Sex Hygiene," as is the usual custom, the fact should be faced that a course dealing with sex ought to have a niche in the catalogue of courses...

...they have not said it all. They have forgotten that Dick Harlow came to Harvard with the reputation of being a career coach, a professional who was interested in only lone thing-victory, and victory at any cost. He came from a Western Maryland team that had won 27 consecutive games to a Harvard team that had won 27 consecutive games to a Harvard team that had won nothing anybody could remember for three years, and the ugly word was out that Harvard was going to indulge in underhand player solicitations. Harlow did not proselytize, solicit, or finagle. "I wanted...
