...enjoy having the kids around. "I adore playing with the little rugrats," explained a senior concentrating in French, and Russian Literature Students especially relish the light-hearted diversion the children create.

That means spirits are high and the outlook promising, but given the inherent streakiness of the Crimson to date, one never knows. As we hand out Midterm grades, we understand that there is a lot of hockey left to be played--and for the first time in a while, Harvard must make up ground in February and March...
