BROWN: Brown University announced a 60 percent yield for the Class of 2017, an increase of nearly five percent from last year’s yield of 55.8 percent, according to the Brown Daily Herald.

A paper published by the New America Foundation found that colleges are not awarding financial aid to the neediest students, Bloomberg Businessweek reported. Instead, institutions tend to give merit scholarships, which do not take into account family income. Schools choose to use their financial aid funds strategically and recruit the wealthiest students. The study also revealed that merit aid recipients are not necessarily better students. Roughly 27 percent of freshmen with SAT scores between 700 and 999 receive merit aid, compared to the 19 percent with scores under 700. Lower income families are now experiencing a growing gap between what colleges charge and what families can afford. While some private universities are making efforts to provide low-income students with greater financial aid, the situation for low income students at many schools is worsening.

For her amazing performance, D'Agostino was awarded the most outstanding female track athlete of the meet for the second year in a row.

April 20 is famous, or infamous, for a number of things. In 1889, Klara Polzl gave birth to Adolf Hitler in Branau am Inn, Austria. In 1916, the Chicago Cubs played their first National League game at Weeghman Park, now known Wrigley Field, and 97 years later, they still have not won a world series. And every year, April 20 is celebrated as an unofficial international holiday by the cannabis culture, which I do not consider myself a part of.
"The Princeton meet was a good chance for individuals to compete, but it was a different experience having the team split up," women's co-captain Arianna Vailas '14 said. "There was a bit less enthusiasm and cheering support, and it seemed a bit more individual-focused, but it was a good chance to have a more intimate group. It definitely is a lot more fun to travel as a full team though."

Since its opening in 1957, the Dartmouth Skiway has come to symbolize a critical aspect of the College's heritage, paying homage to the hostile weather of the Still North on which many students thrive. It comes as no surprise, then, that skiing plays a critical enough role that it has been memorialized in "Passion for Snow" (2013), a documentary that explores the impact that Dartmouth alumni have made on the development of the skiing industry over the 20th century.
