In a field where specialization is so often the norm, Malcom has distinguished himself by being not just a jack but rather a master of all trades. Though he began his collegiate journalistic career in sports, he quickly expanded his range of coverage, demonstrating his flair for investigation and argumentation through his news reporting and his editorial column. There was no responsibility or task too great, and Malcom always pushed himself to go above and beyond the call of duty. These qualities -- and many more -- are why Malcom is the president of The Harvard Crimson today

Malcom is the first fully African-American president at 14 Plympton Street. There is no better way to attract a diverse reporter corps than to show the outside world that diversity is important at The Crimson, and Malcom's background, values, and leadership stance clearly demonstrate this. While The Crimson has been quite diverse for many years, Malcom has reached out to many untraditional groups on campus and has certainly improved the building in that respect.

What I feel distinguishes Malcom as a collegiate journalist is his incredible initiative, confidence, and independence. I worked with Malcom during since his freshman year as members of The Crimson's sports staff. Malcom was never someone who had to be assigned stories; his enthusiasm and drive made him someone who we had to tell to ease up so there would be stories left for the rest of the writers. He was self-assured in his pursuit of story leads and development of story pitches. His prolific contributions to the newspaper and his quite apparent self-motivation were the qualities that, I think, made the outgoing Crimson staff confident in electing him the next president of the newspaper despite his relatively unglamorous start on the sports board.

It was never supposed to be this easy. It was billed as a battle of the Ivy’s best, a clash of the league’s most storied rivals, a contest of historic proportions unmatched in 39 years.

When Harvard’s notorious sex magazine “H Bomb” lost its student group status last month because of incomplete registration, the collective gasp was far quieter in the magazine’s death than it was in its birth.

It was a game of firsts, and a game of lasts. The first time Harvard has ever beaten Yale five times in a row.
