Incidentally, the first step is to practice saying over and over again the pat phrase "Harvard man" in place of the self-defeating phrase "Harvard boy."
These Harvard boys have developed an impregnable line of defense, so the idea is to avoid these entirely. You may compare this to the winning of a pet dog. There is no point in trying to match nails and teeth, but it is a relatively simple matter to turn him on his back and tickle his tummy. It is then easy to slip a collar on him.
Once the noose is unobtrusively slipped about his neck, reel out and let him run. A slight tug at various points during the romance can be used as a check, but if you tug too often, he will catch on and cut loose.

Dear Miss Berates:
I am an old lady of 101 who has not had a date in over fifty years. I am very rich though slightly elderly and am really anxious, not to say hot, for a little community entertainment. Do you know of any single adult men of my age who are really able to give me what I want? GOLDER THAN GOLDEN AGE
Dear Gold:
If you qualify, the number to call is 356-5150.

Dear Miss Berates:
My roommate has been going out with a really nice chic from Simmons for about a month now. Even though I've only met her twice, I would honestly like to take her out. Unfortunately, there are complications. My other roommate asked my first roommate if he could take her out. My first roommate said no. Besides, I don't have a car and would have to borrow my roommate's car to take out his girl. What do you suggest? FRUSTRATED
Dear Frustrated: Try the MTA.

Dear Miss Berates:
For nearly three months I have been dating a very nice Radcliffe girl who lives in Briggs Hall. This summer she moved to an apartment with several roommates, two of them from Smith.
While I still like the 'Cliffie and may want to date her in the fall, I have almost fallen in love with her roommate from Smith. I think this girl, call her Sally, likes me, but I don't know how to handle the relationship. If I wait until next fall when she goes back to Smith she may think I really don't like her, but if I take her out now the 'Cliffie may be hurt.
Please tell me what to do. CONFUSED
Dear Confused:
A bird on the cliff is worth two that have flown.
