Why it’s Not Called Yale-Harvard
Harvard to Battle Yale in the 132nd playing of The Game. You have felt it – a palpable tension mounting in the yard, at the river and even in the quad! As the crimson of the foliage continues to fade it only blooms with a fury among the jubilant throng. And the reason for […]
The Game Plan
Why you should probably thank the OSL if you have a fun time at The Game this year. It’s that one time of the year when Harvard students get to be normal college students –not without some help from the Office of Student Life (OSL), of course. As Harvard football gets ready to crush Yale […]

Harvard and Yale’s museums battled it out. By the time we got to New Haven, we were more than ready to get off the bus. It was one of those charter numbers, fifty-six seats or so, and there was a bathroom in the back of the bus that slowly but steadily emitted the noxious fumes […]
Crimson Cornices and Bulldog Balustrades
A competitive comparison of the architectural settings of Harvard and Yale. For the budding Harvard-Yale attendee, there are many preparations to be made for the big game: what shuttle to take, what sleeping accommodations to slump into at the end of each night, what parties to attend, etc. Perhaps the most essential preparation for any […]
