Ezra Stiles
At the first IM secretary meeting of the year, a few colleges were mentioned as candidates for the Tyng Cup. Saybrook, as always, seems to be a favorite. And if the last two years are any indication, when the IM champion happened, coincidentally, I'm sure, to be the college in which the head IM statistician resided—then Saybrook will win. But if there's one thing this history major has learned (which is doubtful), it's that we study history in order to prevent ourselves from repeating the mistakes of the past. And we will not make the mistake of losing again.There are other lessons I've learned from my studies at Yale. But the most important thing any professor has ever taught me comes from our very own Master Paul Fry. That lesson is that TD sucks. They certainly do, but they are not alone. As every college at Yale will soon find out, whether on the football field or the tennis courts, playing volleyball or playing tennis, Ezra Stiles will be the first champion of the new millenium. All of Yale will be seeing black and gold, and not just because of our new shirts or new socks or even our new shorts.
Some people reading this are probably asking themselves, "But if the Stiles IM secretaries can't even write a good IM report for the Herald, how will they ever win?" I have an answer for that: you don't need to know how to read or write to play IMs real good.
