But for a significant portion of current Harvard freshman, they could just as easily have been the ones on the bus or train, coming here for the first time.

Devon Higham

Match-ups beyond the field. This upcoming Saturday, thousands of students and alumni of Harvard and Yale will flock to Harvard Stadium in Allston to watch the teams collide for the 133rd time. Though “The Game” refers only to the match-up set to take place on the gridiron, the competition between the two schools extends far beyond the playing field.
