It certainly is not important compared to the apparent goings on at BC
but yesterday, I wrote:

Last evening I looked at the 93-94 press guide which has a list of all
of the RPI captains including those before hockey was reinstated in
49-50.  Bartell is indeed the 97th captain according to this list.
Actually, he is at least the 98th because the fact that Bill Daniels
was a cocaptain at the start of the 66-67 season before being replaced
by Dale Watson is not noted.  Just want to put the record straight.
 
 
In regard to the situation at BC, I have always wondered how schools
know how many scholarships to offer because not everyone offered a
scholarship is going to take it.  Schools have the same trouble in
deciding how many students to admit into the general student body each
year, but if a few more accept than they had anticipated, there is no
real problem here.  I suppose that the reason that RPI apparently still
has one scholarship to offer is that someone who was expected to take a
scholarship didn't.  Is there anyone at BC who wouldn't really rather
become an engineer? :-)
