Just checked the webcams, and the third of the Hogan cams, the one showing the Hoval, has now disappeared. Only the cam at the top of Dinand remains.
And this explanation on the webcam page!

The webcams are/were used by public safety, and facilities (when there was construction underway). I inquired whether the Prior and The Jo webcams would be restored, and received no answer.
In my inquiry, I did note that renovations to Hogan had supposedly begun, and suggested this might be impacting the webcams.
The College is undertaking a major revision to its website, so perhaps that is also a factor. I think the webcams are principally for alums and prospective students.

Phreek, the games were at WP and it wasn’t raining at any time during the games. Shortened games also helps with the pitching staff depth for tmro After the game was called at seven innings, and seeing the dreary weather on the broadcast, and then reading the posts on Crossports, I checked the National Weather Service radar for NYC (the radar site is in Suffolk County). The radar showed rain showers near Poughkeepsie, and moving southward. .Not saying that was the reason the game was called at seven innings, only suggesting that might have been a factor. Is today's game scheduled for nine innings or seven? Weather should be great.

Ratings are in for UConn Iowa. 14.2 million viewers. The most viewers for any ESPN televised basketball game. Previous ESPN record was 13.51 million, 2018 NBA between Boston and Cleveland in Eastern Conference finals.

There are rain showers moving into the area from the north. Maybe that was the reason.

A recent albatross on the PGA tour, caught on video. Only 139 double eagles recorded on the PGA tour. It seems recordkeeping of this achievement began in 1982

I saw a report calling it congenital heart failure. Larry appeared lean and fit. I have read media reports saying it was congestive heart failure. It may be that he had congenital heart failure that ultimately progressed to congestive heart failure.

OK, enough of this, I concede that both HC games had huge audiences and that's all that counts. I certainly watched that game in 1977. I ran into Mike Vicens at Mac's Diner a few years back and told him that John Wooden said during that game that he did not realize how good "Vincennes" was. Regarding Clark and women's basketball, take a look at this recent study (March 20) from Seton Hall entitled: "Poll: Caitlin Clark Tops Basketball Popularity; Women's Tournament Likely to Break Viewer Records". I would attach it but I'm not "tech savvy". If I ever run into you at a game, I'll buy you dinner anyway. Best. The largest HC TV audience may have been football, when HC-Dartmouth was national game of the week. A network broadcast, ABC? That was the game moved from Fitton Field because there was insufficient electrical power for the broadcast trucks. That was before cable, before conferences were able to negotiate their own TV packages, before the audience was splintered with multiple games being broadcast simultaneously.

The CDS for the class of 2027 now includes a geographical break-out.
Applications / admittances / enrollees by In-state / out-of-state / international. In-state: 2,697 / 591 (21.9% rate) / 317 Out-of-state: 5,085 / 1,141 (22.4%) / 479 International: 928 / 97 / 28
VR hinted that the out-of-state applications for the class of 2028 were greater than for past years.

The number of applicants would be about 9,500. The number of accepted applicants would be about 1500. The yield, assuming an enrolling class of about 825, would be about 55 percent. Class of 2027 yield was 45 percent.

A few years ago, there was a HC women's basketball player, a star and maybe even the captain, who had a summer internship on Wall St. with a top firm, Goldman Sachs?, and IIRC, then went to work at that firm after she graduated. High-paying summer internships aren't confined to the IL. For Harvard, for a "typical" financial aid recipient, in 2022-23 (< the cost of attendance was $80,000), $13,000 of that was a "family contribution"; $350 was a student asset contribution (term was not defined); and $2,750 was from student employment (10-12 hours a week) at Harvard during the academic year. (If a student did not want to work, he/she can take out a loan for that amount.) The remainder, $64,500, was covered by scholarship grants. I am not begrudging any Harvard student who has a summer internship at a Boston area financial firm that pays well, with flexible enough hours that an athlete can engage in on-campus strength and conditioning programs. Nor would I begrudge any HC student / athlete who did the same. My second-hand understanding (last decade) is that Harvard athletes working in a Boston area financial firm worked at least half or three quarter days. The NCAA limits off-season workouts to eight hours a week. ---------------------------------------------------- Looked at the Yale roster, selecting seniors (1) who were not majoring in engineering, architecture, sciences, etc., and (2) selected those with majors who might have had a summer internship on Wall Street. For the selected seniors, I then looked for their LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn is screwing with how the links to their LinkedIn profiles are posted. Okay solved it. Click on the / to see their LinkedIn profile. That's not working in all cases either. Okay solved. The profiles appear only if you have already downloaded the LinkedIn profile to your computer. / ^^^ Playing at UNLV with his fifth year of eligibility ^^^ In the NFL combine ^^^ The QB
%E2%80%99shaunte-holloway-0ba23b209/^^^ A RB That link works
/^^^ LB, fifth year at UCLA
/^^^ LB, financial-related employment, but in senior year and post-graduation.
/^^^ A WR, summer internship with Morgan Stanley in Florida Not a very big sample, but for Yale football anyway, no indication that numerous players have summer jobs on Wall St arranged by Yale alums who have made it on Wall St.

The top 4/5 Ivy football programs have offered their best players $20-25k summer internships for years which consist of showing up to a corporate office for a few hours a week. Call that what you will. They don’t pay $ to their best players in the same way they happen to have ~70-80 Scholi equivalents despite being “non scholarship football” and don’t play in the football postseason cause it would interfere with academics and finals. All a bunch of BS optics. There are many on this board that will think everything you just typed is hogwash. That the precious Ivies would never play loose with the rules. Thank you for further enlightening those that need it. And what rules did the Ivies play loose with?

ED for the class of 2027 was 530 of 823.
HC's numbers tend to be high because the ED numbers include 125-150 recruited athletes. Athletes comprise nearly a quarter of the student body.
Questbridge admits for the class of 2028 are 46, these are ED. For the class of 2027, Questbridge admits were 11.

mm67, It's only been 3.5 years since the last campaign ended - though there is always work going on for a campaign. But if history is prologue for the future, rest assured that no one is standing still. Here's the pattern from the last 2 presidents and capital campaigns the path Vince Rougeau has been following 1. Create Strategic Plan 2. Develop Campus Master Plan 3. Begin "quiet" phase of a 7 year Capital campaign 4. Announce capital campaign when roughly half the campaign goal is raised - which typically with about 4 years left in the campaign. 1 & 2 have occurred. We have seen a couple of large gifts announced already - so it's a pretty good bet we're at step 3 currently. Expect step 4 in about 2 years, so plenty of time for you to get in on naming opportunities during the quiet phase. The VP for Advancement on a recent webinar indicated it will be sooner than two years. I read him as hinting at an announcement later this year.. The timing is being dictated by the goal of raising $500 million, just for the endowment, by 2033. So the campaign goal will be $500 million PLUS. (I capitalized PLUS because the PLUS will not be a small number, given the capital facility needs outlined in the campus master plan, and separately in the athletics strategic plan.) And I am heartened by mm67's stepping up to the plate early. BC started a new capital campaign last fall, for $3.2 billion if memory serves. And with only about a third of that amount raised during the quiet phase. And no campaign emphasis on intercollegiate athletics. There is one on intramurals and the like.

You mean soldiers want more than to be recognized at ball games and have people say, "Thank you for your service?"… In the context of the reparations notion I was responding to, perhaps a discount if one of your Northern ancestors was killed or seriously wounded in the Civil War. It wasn't the Union that fired cannon at Fort Sumter.

Query PP: why did the Jesuit's successful commercial enterprises in the West Indies (successful due to the reliance on slave labor) result in them being suppressed in France? Was there an active anti slave movement in France as early as 1761? They ran very large sugar plantations, and also refined the sugar. They apparently also traded in spices. These commercial enterprises provided substantial financial support for the Jesuit system of education in the province of Paris. The Jesuits were particularly interested in educating children of the middle class, or upper middle class. This cost money, and records of the accounts for the province reveal that this effort at educational outreach, so to speak, was hemorrhaging francs. In the course of the Seven Years War (French and Indian War on this side of the pond) the British navy captured ten ships that had sailed from the West indies with their cargo of sugar. This cargo was already under contract to French merchants, who had already paid the Jesuits for it. The money received for the cargo of sugar had been spent, and now the Jesuits were in commercial breach, having neither the sugar, nor the money to repay the merchants. This was not the only factor that led to their suppression in France, but it was a major factor. A recent article in "America" on the Jesuit plantations in Haiti. These seem to have existed only to support the Jesuit mission in that country. www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2022/06/17/jesuits-slavery-haiti-plantations-243171
