Quick Hits

A couple of really quick notes as we continue The Great College Tour 2009 ...

The Boston Herald has a nice story about Harvard corner Andrew Berry's NFL dreams. He's gearing up for a Pro Day at Boston College on March 13. Find the story here. From the story:
“If God has blessed me with enough talent to try it would be silly not to take advantage of it,” said Berry, an Academic All-American and a John Harvard Scholar, having a 3.8 GPA that places in the five percent at Harvard. “There are some people at Harvard who tend to think professional sports is a waste of time, so to try to do this you need to be like a horse with blinders. You run your own race.”
Impressive.

Also, the Columbia Spectator has a piece about Robin Harris, who will succeed Jeff Orleans as executive director of the Ivy Group. (I have to chuckle at the formal name of the conference. Heaven forbid it be officially a league.)

And finally, the spring sports season at Dartmouth is on tap. Believe it or not, men's lacrosse opens at Hartford Saturday.
