Yale Rowers Outduel Harvard

Byerly:

As ever, the Yalies measure their achievements in life, and their place in the world, by a single standard: How Do We Compare To Harvard? As seen here, this is as true in ladies rowing as it is in toilet paper thickness!

Likewise, it seems Harvard alumni seek validation by making unnecessary and hostile comments towards Yale.

I’d rather not spend the time digging through Crimson archives, but I’m sure you’re aware of all the articles concerning Harvard’s shortcomings or that portray Yale in a positive light. I’m still not entirely sure how a single reporter’s article in a daily newspaper can be taken as the opinion of the school, student body, or even as factual, though the frequent YDN links you post seem to make this implication. This seems analogous to implying that if the New York Times ran an article or an opinion piece, it would represent the views of the entirety of New York City.
