| A fourth of the students at Holy Cross play varsity sports. As a basis of comparison, at Ohio State, barely 2 percent do. However, Crusaders need toned legs and strong hearts. Their campus, built on Mount St. James, has 5,480 stair steps. | |

| Mark Kennedy Shriver is part of the Kennedy political family since his mother is Eunice Mary Kennedy. He may also be considered to be a part of the "Shriver political family", since his ancestor David Shriver was a delegate of Frederick County, Maryland who signed the Maryland Constitution and Bill of Rights at Maryland's Constitutional Convention of 1776, and his father is Sargent Shriver, the founder of the Peace Corps, a former ambassador to France and the 1972 Democratic Vice Presidential candidate. His sister, Maria Shriver, is a former journalist and current First Lady of California (she is married to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger).
Shriver earned a bachelor's degree from the College of the Holy Cross in 1986 and a master's degree in public administration from Harvard University in 1993. | |
