Our HC Fund data lists HC as having 27,574 "members" thru the class of 2003. That conflicts with the 33,000 "Alumni of Record" noted above. If HC does, indeed, have 33M alums, one might ask why we would have so many more than Colgate with Colgate being a slightly larger school. Perhaps Colgate has grown in size substantially in recent years. It's either that or Crusaders live longer as, being educated in the Jesuit tradition as "men and women for others", we have so much more to give to society and are granted more years to do so.------ Just thought I'd inject a little frivolity into this miasma of self-loathing that we find ourselves in due to the ECAC decision.......

This comparison makes the discussion easy. Athletics are a priotity at Colgate. At Holy Cross they are less so. Alums give huge sums to athletics at Colgate through boosters organizations. Holy Cross alums need to get with the program and get organized....or resign themselves to sitting around griping on this forum instead of going to Worcester and seeing Crusader victories. And one might even deduce from the numbers above that it should be easier to get athletes into Holy Cross given slightly lower SAT profile. That might be offset however by a difficult sales pitch involving Worcester and tired athletic facilities. The sports venues at Colgate are pretty nice.
