Speaking of Hodges, the New York Times adds to the legion of outlets telling his remarkable story (LINK). A Boston Globe story about Hodges' NFL chances reminds us of one reason why Harvard has been the dominant Ivy League program – it has had more talent than anyone else.

When That Certain Dartmouth '14 was running for student body president, a former Dartmouth football player did a YouTube video endorsement for her. I suppose she could have enlisted him to help her make a video like this, but to be completely honest, I'm glad she didn't (and I'm thinking when she sees this she'll agree).
