...said. “I’m excited. I think we can do really well if we work hard.”HARRY ANDERSON TROPHYThe Crimson sent a co-ed squad to the Harry Anderson Trophy, hosted by Yale. Despite tough conditions—allowing only a few races to be sailed on Saturday—Harvard came out tenth in the 20-team field.“It’s the first big regatta of the year, and it’s a pretty big event,” senior captain Jon Garrity said...

Although many such committees—especially those at Harvard—prove to be the deathbeds rather than the springboards of initiative, the University has vested this particular committee with the influential members and wide latitude necessary to effect positive and tangible change in how HUPD interacts with minority groups on campus. Now, the Harvard community can only hope that this committee makes good...
